'"I have almost forgot the taste of fears."
Macbeth is completely corrupted by his desire for power.'
Do you agree?
Introduction â Introduce the play: title, author and period in which it was written. Identify the genre (tragedy), main characters and the general plot. Outline the points you will discuss and state your contention: for eg. âMacbeth is driven mad by his ruthless lust for power. His former loyalty and allegiance to King Duncan is cast asunder when he receives supernatural prophecies that prove true, spurred on by Lady Macbethâs manipulations. Macbeth will stop at nothing to gain and keep safe his treacherous kingship, despite losing all he loves in the process, including his very humanity. Women and children are no longer safe under the rule of such a tyrant.â
Body Paragraph 1. Topic Sentence Macbethâs transformation from loyal subject to âbloody butcherâ was precipitated by the witchesâ predictions and spurred on by Lady Macbethâs manipulations. Explanation The witches do not have the power to destroy Macbeth but were able to induce him to act on his already ambitious desires. Macbethâs ambition is provoked by the witches prophecies and he begins to consider the unthinkable, enlisting the help of his wife, who all too readily prepares for his ascension to the throne of Scotland through unnatural means. Examples (Rewrite these in a sentence and embed quotes to prove it.) Macbeth is introduced as a âbrave and nobleâ a âvaliant soldierâ and âworthy cousinâ. He is respected as a soldier and a loyal subject. But, upon hearing the witchesâ prophecy he is tested. Lady Macbeth immediately plots to kill King Duncan once she receives Macbethâs letter about becoming the Thane of Cawdor, as the witches prophesied and the suggestion that he may become King. She uses sinister tactics to persuade Macbeth and questions his very manhood. Link
Body Paragraph 2 Topic Sentence Initially Macbeth is a ânoble manâ, full of promise and the âmilk of human kindnessâ but he metamorphoses into the âdead butcherâ â the tragic hero demanding our sympathy. Explanation His greatest acts of nobility occurred prior to the events of the play and this redeeming trait is further enhanced in the first soliloquy where he debates the horrific consequences of the witchesâ prophecy and his proposed actions. However, he ultimately chooses his own selfish ambition, overleaping his conscience in the process. Examples At first he is resolved against murder, âif chance will have me kingâ. There is a chance that he will get the crown without him having to do anything â âwithout my stirâ. It is Lady Macbethâs powerful rhetoric that overwhelms his decision. Her vicious assault on his masculinity and virility (quotes) is persuasive and he finally surrenders to the horrid deed. Yet he is fully conscious of the abject wickedness of his act. (Note his tormented state by his guilty conscience â he recognizes the wickedness of the path he has embarked upon. In the dagger soliloquy he is clearly suffering from the horrors of the âbloody businessâ. After the deed we are aware of how terrifyingly alive his conscience is âTo know my deed, âtwere best not know myselfâ

Body Paragraph 3 Topic sentence Women and children are no longer safe under the rule of such a tyrant. Explanation The killing of Lady MacDuff and her child is Macbethâs third crime. The killing of Banquo (and attempt of Fleance) is a horrific act however, the killing of Lady Macduff and her children is the pinnacle of Macbethâs evil. They symbolize loyalty and their deaths symbolise the spreading of evil. Macbethâs growing wickedness, each succeeding atrocity, is another step towards depravity and his ultimate destruction. Lady Macbethâs madness is a direct result of her own crime and those of Macbethâs continuing savagery. Although Lady Macbeth is no longer an accomplice she is well aware of the ongoing murders and this ultimately drives her mad. Examples Banquo was Macbethâs friend â he was killed because Macbeth was scared his line would produce kings. Along with the attempted assassination of Fleance. He killed Macduffâs innocent family out of spite (due to Macduffâs fleeing of Scotland). Once Lady Macbeth is Queen she tries to discourage Macbethâs thoughts of further murders. Lady Macbeth killed herself out of guilt (she knows about Banquo and the Macduffâs), proof that she retained some semblance of a conscience. Link
Conclusion Macbeth has the potential to be a great leader but he allows his ambition to overleap his conscience and this ultimately leads to his own destruction.â

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
