Macbeth
SYMBOLISES THE PERILS OF AMBITION
INTRODUCTION
When we are introduced to Macbeth, he is presented as the stereotypical hero, the ideal
warrior. He fulfils the expectations of masculinity and proves his manhood. Shakespeare uses
his noble status to give him a place to fall from. All tragic heroes have to start at the top, so that
they can fall. Macbeth’s journey from hero to villain, from brave warrior to coward, allows for an
exploration of gender, power, and morality.
Macbeth’s tense, passionate relationship with his wife also allows Shakespeare to examine
gender roles, marital relations, and power in his own society. Because Macbeth allows
himself to be overpowered by his wife, you could say that he takes a more feminine role in their
marriage. He descends from a brave, masculine warrior to a passive feminine coward. Could
this change in gender expression be linked to his villainy? If so, Shakespeare is suggesting that
breaking the norms and order of society makes you vulnerable to corruption and temptation.
Macbeth’s character is significant in terms of philosophy, religion, and morality. His personality
is defined by both his ambition and his guilt. On the one hand he is fixated on the future he
desires. On the other, he is constantly looking over his shoulder, haunted by his crimes. A
question Shakespeare explores through Macbeth is one of predestination; Macbeth’s life
seems to be controlled by fate, but how much of Macbeth’s story was foretold, and how much
was of his own making? Was he destined to become a hellish villain, or was there anything he
could have done to keep his place in Heaven?

CHARACTER IN CONTEXT
Gender
It would be easy if Macbeth was only used by Shakespeare to explore masculinity, but in
practice, the gender performance associated with his character is much more ambiguous.
➔ Overwhelmingly, Shakespeare writes Macbeth to be a symbol for toxic and repressive
masculinity, ultimately associating manhood with violence.
➔ At the same time, though, Macbeth’s fear of being emasculated, and the ‘feminine’ traits
he inherits at certain points in the play, means Shakespeare uses his character to
explore femininity.
Initially, it seems like Macbeth has no reason to worry about his manhood. He is successful in
battle, has a loyal wife, and is destined to work his way up the social ladder. But it quickly
becomes apparent that this isn’t enough for him. For Macbeth, the ideals of valour, power, and
violence become synonymous with masculinity. He is convinced that if he doesn’t pursue
kingship as much as possible, he will be exposed as effeminate.
Religion
As Jacobean England was so deeply religious, it’s
no surprise that faith is mentioned in the play which is full of sinners and treachery. Macbeth
rarely mentions God by name, but the idea of Heaven and Hell plays heavily on his mind. This
suggests he is worried about the destination of his immortal soul.
➔ He mentions jumping “the life to come”, implying he is sacrificing an eternal life in
Heaven so that he can enjoy power and status during his finite life on Earth.
A significant part of Macbeth’s character arc is how he copes (or tries to cope) with turning his
back on God. While contemplating Duncan’s murder, he acknowledges that Heaven will object
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu-cc https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
to his plans. He frets that Duncan’s virtues as a good king will somehow cry out against the
murder. This could refer to how his subjects will literally mourn his death, or it could be
metaphorical: Macbeth may be worried that Heaven and Earth will react negatively to the
murder.
Killing Duncan is a landmark decision in his moral path, as it is a conscious choice to put an
end to his good ways and embrace corrupt temptation. Straight after the murder, Macbeth has
a moral crisis and an identity crisis.
➔ One of the signs of his inability to cope is how he will “sleep no more”.
➔ The other is that he could not “say Amen”.
These affect Macbeth so deeply because
they both demonstrate that life as he knows
it is over. He will no longer live like the rest
of humanity. He has strayed from God’s
path, and so has lost God’s protection.
Setting - Scotland
Shakespeare constructs Scotland after the
murder as a godless, Hellish land to match
its king. Crops fail, strange cries fill the air,
and the country lives in eternal darkness.
Macbeth’s mental state mirrors the state of
his kingdom. Shakespeare suggests that
living without God is the worst fate a man
can have.
The influence of military standards on society also meant that male solidarity and loyalty
were important values. In battle, soldiers relied on each other, and desertion was unthinkable.
The same rules applied to life outside of war.
Part of Macbeth’s moral crisis comes from the ideal of male friendship. Killing Duncan means
betraying a friend, relative, and his king. This goes against everything Macbeth has been
taught to value and uphold. Similarly, killing Banquo is such a shocking act - particularly for a
Jacobean audience - because Macbeth is supposed to be his closest friend. No one can
suspect Macbeth at first because the idea of a man betraying another was preposterous.
Tragic Hero

The concept of the tragic hero was popular in Shakespeare’s plays and in Renaissance theatre
as a whole. There are several stages to a tragic hero’s journey:
➔ The hamartia, or tragic flaw that causes their downfall.
➔ The hubris, or excessive pride and disrespect for the natural order
➔ Peripeteia, or reversal of fate
➔ Anagnorisis, or discovery
➔ Nemesis, or unavoidable punishment
➔ and finally catharsis, where the audience feels pity and fear for the protagonist in their
undoing.
For Macbeth, his hamartia is his unchecked ambition. Shakespeare uses the idea of the tragic
hero to teach his audience the importance of morality, and of respecting God’s will. Having a
tragic hero means the audience feels sympathy for them despite their failings.
Shakespeare ensures we root for Macbeth, wanting him to succeed and avoid detection, even
though we know what he’s doing is wrong. This creates a big moral crisis for the audience,
guaranteeing they will be more engaged with the topic and debate it. Our investment in Macbeth
also makes his turn towards pure villainy more painful to bear. Even though we relate with his
desires and are, to a certain extent, on his side, we are forced to admit that he is wrong, and
that his tragic death is deserved and just.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Ambitious
Unchecked ambition is Macbeth’s undoing in the play. If
he had been patient, and waited for the title of king to
come to him, he would have improved his position in
society and kept his soul fit for Heaven. Under the
forceful hand of Lady Macbeth, though, Macbeth gives
into temptation. As a result, he ends the play in a much
lower position than when he started. He loses grace,
favour, and respect - from his peers and from the
audience.

https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
Shakespeare shows his audience that ambition is a sin when it goes against God’s will for the
way things are meant to be. By killing Duncan to become king, Macbeth fights his way up the
Chain of Being. Think of it like swimming in a river: Macbeth goes against the current, led by his
ambition, and this is what is so dangerous and shocking. Shakespeare seems to want to teach
his audience the importance of self-awareness, conscience, and self-restraint. You should
be content with God’s plans for you. You should control your ambition, and not let your ambition
control you. At a time when people were plotting to kill the king and fear of espionage (spying)
was rife, these were very relevant and important messages.
Guilty
Immediately after the murder, Macbeth becomes a man who is guilt-ridden and tragically
remorseful. He has to live with what he’s done, and with the knowledge that there is no
undoing it. His guilt makes him a nihilistic figure, a character tormented by his own
conscience. He is surrounded by blood, darkness, and death. Although unchecked ambition is
what causes Macbeth’s downfall, his guilt makes
his undoing unbearable for him and the audience.
Violent
The play of ‘Macbeth’ is filled with violence and conflict, both internal and external. No one
suffers more from this than Macbeth himself. The smallest scale of conflict he endures is his
internal conflict, and the largest is the conflict between free will and fate that takes over the
whole universe. Similarly, the conflicts between good and evil, between the supernatural and
the natural, and between appearances and reality, go beyond Macbeth and rage across
Scotland.

https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
Violence is largely associated with manhood and masculinity, particularly by Macbeth.
Whenever his manliness is challenged, Macbeth responds by committing a violent, ruthless act.
He represses any feelings of fear or doubt, viewing them as signs of weakness and femininity.
Furthermore, cruelty and violence are linked with masculine ideals of honour and bravery.
Men are supposed to be noble and strong leaders, and Macbeth interprets this as bloodlust.
Shakespeare could be implying that ideals such as bravery and honour are used to disguise
injustice. Warfare and violence are presented as necessary and respectable measures, allowing
men to follow selfish emotion rather than selfless logic.
Importantly, Shakespeare demonstrates how violence and bloodshed are used to maintain
tyranny and corruption. They are tools for bad kings. Unlike Duncan’s reign, which is
portrayed as a nurturing, fruitful harvest, Macbeth’s is plagued by disease and murder. If he was
an effective ruler who obtained his power through fair means, he wouldn’t need to use violence
to protect himself. As it is, his power is wrongly gained, and his reign is corrupt.
➔ He declares that “blood will have blood”. Shakespeare argues that violence breeds
more violence. Macbeth is trapped in a cycle of bloodshed and conflict.
Macbeth, furthermore, is at the centrepoint of the power plays. In many ways, what matters
more in the play is the fight for power, rather than the power itself. There is a constant push
and pull between the main players, as each tries to keep hold of power. Shakespeare portrays
power as being elusive and tricky - its possession can’t be guaranteed. This is what drives men
insane: they crave power, but what they have is never enough, and they live with the constant
threat of losing it all. Macbeth is an example of this. He kills for more and more power, finding
that what he already has isn’t enough to satisfy himself. Again, he is trapped in a cycle of his
own making.
KEY MOMENTS
From what we hear of him, Macbeth sounds like an impressive man. The determined way he
fights for Scotland in battle suggests bravery, skill, and loyalty to his country. However, for the
opening scenes Macbeth’s character is plagued with inconsistencies and contradictions. We
get the impression we are watching two different personalities fighting it out in front of us, each
corresponding to a different destiny.
➔ The idea of murdering Duncan surprises and shocks him, as if the suggestion came from
a different person altogether.
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu-cc https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
➔ With each scene that passes, he seems to have made the opposite choice to the scene
before. His main soliloquies are full of debate, deliberation, and anxiety.
Already, we see a glimpse of the guilt that will haunt him after the murder takes place. We see
his moral compass and conscience have a voice, but there are also moments where he
seems heartless and dead set on being king regardless of consequence. Right up until he kills
Duncan, it’s not impossible that he could back out.
Another key trait that defines Macbeth’s character in the opening scenes is his weak will. He
takes the opinions and suggestions of others to heart and can’t avoid being manipulated by
them. Lady Macbeth, in particular, holds a lot of power over him. Linked to this is his fragile
sense of masculinity. It’s clear that Macbeth will do whatever it takes to prove himself and his
manliness. You could argue that his weak will is entwined with his ambition, which is typically
named as his fatal flaw. His ambition for power ties in with his deflated ego. The power he
craves isn’t supernatural or physical. What he wants is the title of king and the recognition it
brings. Being king means his peers - and his wife - will have to respect him. It will be a
testament to his masculinity, the ultimate proof of manly strength.
Macbeth’s seemingly inexorable (unstoppable) descent into violence could also be attributed to
his paranoia. As we discovered before, Macbeth’s public image is very important to him,
because it helps him believe he’s still a good man. Though he kills people in cold blood, he
doesn’t do it without a reason. At least, in his eyes, he has a good reason. And that reason is
always protection. Anyone who could defeat him or expose him is killed.
Part of what makes his guilt so difficult to bear is his revelation that power doesn’t come with a
guarantee. Murdering Duncan has taken a great toll on him, and he knows it, so he is frustrated
that he put himself through so much for nothing. He believes he has to keep fighting to keep
hold of his power.
As Act 3 comes to a close, Macbeth comes to a resolution. He decides to embrace his new life
of violence, believing he has to see it through to the end. It’s clear Macbeth thinks he has paid
the price of murder by sacrificing his innocence and peace of mind, and he needs to make it
worth the cost. This perspective marks the third and final part of his character development as
we enter the final scenes of the play.

Ending (3.5 - 5.9)
As with the rest of the play, in the final acts it seems like two different Macbeths walk the stage.
One is violent and ruthless, hellbent on furthering his own power and status, no matter the
cost. The other is dejected, dispirited, and nihilistic, someone who knows his power is
meaningless and is haunted by his own mortality, but can’t do anything about either. He is
friendless, loveless, and hopeless, as Shakespeare shows that killing your king and going
against God will bring nothing but misery and suffering.
Undoubtedly, Macbeth has become a tyrant. To repress all feelings of guilt and regret, he
embraces violence and greed. He wants to feel
invincible and unstoppable - like God.
➔ We hear from his subjects and from Malcolm
and Macduff that Scotland is in ruins
because of Macbeth's brutal ruling style.
➔ We also know that, eventually, all of his
followers and men betray him.
➔ Because he’s not an authentic king,
Shakespeare demonstrates that he can’t
inspire any authentic feelings of loyalty or
love.
Macbeth’s behaviour and actions give the
impression that he doesn’t care what anyone thinks
of him. He believes he’s above criticism or
condemnation because he’s king, and fortune is on
his side.
The battle that closes the play gives us an opportunity to directly compare how Macbeth
behaves at the beginning and end. Some of the same qualities of bravery, righteous violence,
and determination have resurfaced by Act 5, but he’s a different, broken man. He has lost
everything and everyone: an army of one, fighting for himself rather than for his king and
country.

RELATIONSHIPS
Lady Macbeth | Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are incredibly ambitious and power-hungry.
Most of what we see of their marriage is their plotting and conspiring. Both are weakened by
guilt and paranoia as the plot develops, and by the end have isolated themselves from each
other. The main difference between them is their confidence: Lady Macbeth is determined,
ruthless, strong-willed, and self-assured, whereas
Macbeth is uncertain, weak-willed, and hesitant.
At first, they appear to be on the same side. Macbeth is Duncan’s loyal Thane, someone
Duncan relies on for guidance and protection, and Macbeth is proud to serve his king and
country. Duncan’s trust in Macbeth is misplaced, as Macbeth’s loyalty is weak.
Malcom | Just like Macbeth, Malcolm wants to be king. Unlike Macbeth, Malcolm is the rightful
heir to the throne, and has been chased away from what’s his by Macbeth’s actions. Macbeth
is associated with disorder, chaos, and sin, while Malcolm is a symbol for peace, purity, and
order.
Macduff | Macduff is Macbeth’s foil in the play, meaning he highlights the flaws Macbeth
has. Both start out as Duncan’s Thanes and are highly respected in the courts and in battle, but
when Macbeth takes the throne, Macduff suspects him. Macduff chooses allegiance to his
country, unlike Macbeth, and runs to England to join Malcolm. He is a symbol for honour,
nobility, and selflessness.
Banquo | Banquo is Macbeth’s best friend, another highly respected soldier. He, too, hears the
Witches’ prophecies, but chooses honour and loyalty over power. He resists his greed and
temptations. He is physical proof of Macbeth’s corruption and paranoia. He shows it’s possible
to hear such promising prophecies and not turn to murder, and his inside knowledge of Macbeth
means he can expose him.
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu-cc https://bit.ly/pmt-cc

https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
Macbeth’s decision to murder Banquo, someone who meant a great deal to him, shows how
overwhelmed he is by ambition and paranoia. The memory of the murder is something he
can’t live with, as shown by the appearance of Banquo’s accusatory, blood-stained ghost.
Another difference between Banquo and Macbeth is highlighted in the Witches’ prophecies.
Though he won’t be king himself, his sons will be kings. The Witches say he will be happier and
greater than Macbeth. Therefore, Banquo is a symbol for honour, loyalty, and prosperity: his
legacy is much better than Macbeth’s.
KEY QUOTES
“I have no spur / To prick the sides of my intent, but only / Vaulting ambition
which o’erleaps itself / And falls on th’other.” - Macbeth, (A1S7)
● Macbeth knows that the only argument for killing Duncan is to satisfy his
ambition. He also knows that blindly obeying ambition will end in disaster. The
phrase “o’erleaps itself / And falls on th’other” suggests ambition makes
people think illogically, so that they overestimate their own abilities and get ahead
of themselves. Additionally, it portrays ambition as self-destructive. It
“o’erleaps itself” rather than having someone or something else make it
“o’erleap”.
● In the metaphor, Macbeth sees himself as both jockey and horse. Shakespeare
could be implying that Macbeth is trying to control his ambition, but feels like his
ambition will end up controlling him. As he is reduced from the jockey to the
horse, he becomes more animalistic.
● This reflects the way the Jacobeans believed the only thing that separated
humans from animals was reason or logic. If a man lost his reason and acted
irrationally, he was a beast. Macbeth is aware that ambition can make him act
mindlessly, in the same way an animal would.

https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
“For brave Macbeth - well he deserves that name - / Disdaining Fortune, with his
brandished steel, / Which smoked with bloody execution, / Like Valour’s minion
carved out his passage / Till he faced the slave, / Which ne’er shook hands, nor
bade farewell to him, / Till he unseamed him from the nave to th’chaps / And fixed
his head upon our battlements.” - Captain, (A1S2)
● This recount of the battle against Norway and the rebels portrays Macbeth as the
hero Scotland needs. He is “brave” and highly skilled with his sword - both traits
typically associated with heroism. Shakespeare shows how violence and
bloodshed are romanticised in the context of war, with impressive imagery such
as “disdaining Fortune” and “smoked with bloody execution”. Because
Macbeth is fighting for his country, his actions are righteous and honourable. It’s
interesting to note how, when he behaves in the same ruthless way later in the
play, he’s viewed as tyrannical and horrific. Shakespeare could be criticising the
culture of aggressive masculinity and honourable warfare.
● Angels and other representatives of God were granted flaming swords - for
example to guard the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were thrown out. This
link portrays Macbeth as a soldier of God, suggesting he fights on the side of
good and has God’s blessing. Shakespeare shows how highly respected and
admired Macbeth was by his peers.
● Macbeth is referred to with the simile “like Valour’s minion”, portraying him as
the epitome of courage and chivalry. “Valour” refers to a demonstration of
courage in the face of danger, especially in battle, while “minion” suggests a
loyal follower. This implies Macbeth can be trusted because he will always show
courage in battle, and is dedicated to victory in the face of defeat. He is a saving
grace for Scotland. Alternatively, “minion” connotes a slave or an unimportant
servant. This would mean Macbeth is the inferior servant of a greater power, in
this case Valour. This implies he will blindly turn to violence and conflict, and
foreshadows his vicious and brutal ambition.
● Another interesting aspect of this quote is how it perfectly summarises the events
of the play. Describing how Macbeth is “disdaining Fortune” alludes to his later
hubris and defiance as he tries to dodge destiny. The description of how he
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu-cc https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
ruthlessly and mercilessly slaughters his opposition, “unseam[ing] him from the
nave to th’chaps”, predicts his tyrannical behaviour as he chooses to murder
any possible threat to his power. Lastly, the traitorous Macdonald has “his head
fixed upon [the] battlements”. The same fate meets Macbeth in the final scene
of the play. This implies that Macbeth had the ability to be evil within him all
along. Alternatively, Shakespeare may be demonstrating how evil will always be
punished. The balance between good and evil is maintained, so the same paths
are followed again and again as God keeps order.
“Stars, hide your fires; / Let not light see my black and deep desires: / The eye
wink at the hand; yet let that be, / Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.” -
Macbeth (A1S4)
● The phrase “stars, hide your fires” could refer to several things. Firstly, the
“stars” might represent the gods or the heavens. In this case, Macbeth doesn’t
want them to see his sins, in the hopes that he will still be blessed by them and
have salvation. Equally, he fears their judgement and disappointment. Similarly,
“stars” could be previous heros. It was common in mythology for heros to be
immortalised in the stars, like with constellations. Macbeth still wants his chance
at being a hero to his country. Alternatively, asking the “stars” to “hide [their]
fires” could show how Macbeth wants to operate in darkness. This means he
can avoid detection from others, but more importantly, doesn’t have to witness
his own corruption and villainy.

“Out, out, brief candle! / Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts
and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by
an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” - Macbeth (A5S5)
● Macbeth knows his end is near at this point in the play. The change in tone and
the pathos (feeling of pity and sadness) this whole soliloquy evokes gives the
impression that Macbeth has suddenly awakened from his stupor. His wife is
dead, his kingdom is falling apart, and he is truly alone. All his ambition and
sacrifice has been for nothing.
● The imagery and metaphors used in this excerpt emphasise how life is a
facade, with no purpose or meaning to it. The nouns “candle”, “shadow”,
“player”, and “tale” all connote imitation and emptiness. Also, they are all
temporary or delicate. Shakespeare suggests that everyone is insignificant, a
mere candle flame compared to the light of the whole universe. The semantic
field of facade could show how people, particularly Macbeth, focus on the wrong
things in life, so that they are looking at “shadow[s]” or “tale[s]” rather than the
reality.
● Macbeth has been so fixated on his ambition and power that he has missed what
really matters - or, in a more nihilistic interpretation, he never realised that
nothing really matters. His ambition can’t live on past his death, and nor can his
power. His crisis is caused by the undeniable truth of his own mortality, which
nothing can contend with. For all his “sound and fury” - his violence and painful
guilt - he has accomplished nothing everlasting: it signifies “nothing”.
