Answer 5

Here's what i got, Shakespeare highlighted Tragedy in Macbeth and he used "evil" things to represent the tragic things humans do. In Macbeth, Witches, devils, his wife (who murdered the king), they all influenced Macbeth's life into developing a tragic sense in his life and the whole story.

"Evil can be stronger than the forces of good" yes it can, according to Macbeth, the evil destroyed him and made the whole story tragic, so the force of evil was more effecting then the force of good. It highlights how humans make bad decisions and choose evil actions over good. Just like Macbeth, he never chose to discard the wicked witches, if he didn't listen to heir fake prophecies his life decision would've been better.

Answer 12

How about using the scene when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth went to kill the king and Macbeth, Macbeth was crying and didn't dare to kill the king while Lady Macbeth thought him as a coward and she feared the people have awakened. SO, she went and killed him by herself...
Macbeth, his strength and ambition on becoming a king was his weakness. His weakness on attempting to killing the king.

after all, the plan for his ambition on becoming a king, was his weakness

Answer 14
