When we first started Macbeth, we discussed many big ideas seen throughout the play. I think one of the most important of which is violence. Violence is a huge part of the play, and basically makes the play. If there was not violence in the play, I think the dark and horror aspects of the play would be completely gone.
We first see this image of violence when Macbeth brutally kills Duncan and Duncan's men. He is stabbed to death, and there is blood all over when finished. We see violence again during Banquo, Lady Macduff, and Macduff's son's deaths. After each death, we get a gory image of how each death happened, and it definitely makes the play. In the scene where Lady Macbeth is sleep walking, she thinks she still has blood on her hands from Duncan's death. So, blood and violence basically go hand-in-hand in this play, and is a major theme throughout the course of the play.

Hey Grace, I agree with you. There was an unbelievable amount of violence in the book. Macbeth was also the center point of the violence. I definitely agree with you that if the book didn't have as much violence then the dark and horror aspects would be gone.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this so much grace! I think violence was a really big part of Macbeth. We see violence in different ways but they are sadly all tragic!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Grace. Violence is a main theme of this play. Its what keeps it flowing, its what it is about. With out the violence, it wouldn't be Macbeth.
