In my opinion the Macbeth’s weakness consists of not being able to resist the temptation to elevate himself in the hierarchy and to become the King.
Differently from how it appears he is week and therefore he must believe in the witches’ prediction because it is something he likes and he can rely on.

Once upon a time in Scotland there was a king, called Duncan and a great general, his name was MacBeth.
MacBeth was courageous and a day he was coming back home from a victorious battle with his friend Banquo when he met three witches who predicted that he would become King.
He was a fair-man but also very ambitious: after that prediction he wanted to become King.
So He murdered the King and with others bad expedients really he became King.
But MacBeth in his mind was unhappiness and full of remorses and of bad thoughts.
His wife had been partners of that crimes and she decided to suicide; so MacBeth understood that his ambition and his “power” was the origin of all his afflictions.
In the end he died like a “hero”, but a DEFEAT hero.

Once upon a time, in Scotland, there was a great king, Duncan, and a hero called Macbeth who fought against his King's enemies.
Macbeth was brave and courageous, but he was also ambitious: he wanted to become a King.
While he was hasting Duncan in his castle he killed him and accused two servants of the murder.
Duncan's two sons, worried, escaped, and were also accused of the murder so, Macbeth was crowed King.
Anyhow, he wasn't happy: he was full of remorses and began to go mad.
He was also worried:ha was afraid of the other noblemans and began to kill the ones he was most afraid of.
Stronge things also began to happened in the land: horses started to bet an another, the weather was always bed and caresty spread through all the country.
When they arrived to his castle they started a batte.
Macduff, one of the nobles, killed Macbeth.
This is the story of Macbeth, man, that could have been a hero but has only been a victim of his ambition.

Macbeth is a hero because he fights bravely and courageously.
He is a tragic hero because he's victim of fate.
Even if he knows his future he continues to fight till death.
He's also a "sad" hero.
As matter of fact, he is full off fear and remorses for what he did and he can't find peace.

In my opinion this is a tragedy of great visual and verbal power.
In fact in this tragedy Shakespeare explores all the human mind’s darker recesses with a lot of violence and cruelty; but Macbeth is also simple and in the story we don’t find some subplots or significant deviations, it’s totally centred on a deadly play for power.
I like this tragedies because Shakespeare talk about important themes like love, death, prejudices,… through simple plots. In fact the stories are not complex, but the characters are phsycologically all-rounded.

Once upon the time there were two warriors and friends, Macbeth and Banquo. When they were coming at home, they met three witches who told them about their future: Macbeth would be a Earl and after the Scottish King and Banquo would generated the next King.
When Macbeth arrived at home King Duncan told him he would be Earl and he understood the prophecy was right.
He decided with his wife Lady Macbeth to finish King Duncan off and he became the Scottish King, but to hide the fact he had to finish somebody other off and he couldn’t stop the cycle.
Therefore he return to the witches and they told him that he could be killed by nobody born by a woman and only if Birman wood would go to Dusinane and to pay attention to Macduff.
When Macbeth was going to Macduff, the English warriors took some branches and they went to Dusinane like a wood. Later Macduff told Macbeth he had taken away from his mum and then he finished Macbeth off and became the new King.

I don't think Macbeth can be considered an hero because an hero must be a man who does something extremely brave and/or generous. The nobleman could be considered an hero only at the beginning of the story, when he is still a proud paladin.

Once upon a time there were a Scottish general called Macbeth.
He was coming back home with his friend Banquo when he met three witches who predicted that he would become Lord of Glamis, Lord of Cawdor and then he would become King.
When the King of Scotland, Duncan, arrived at Macbeth's Castle it seems to Lady Macbeth a good opportunity for killing him and, thus, her husband would become the king.
Duncan died and Macbeth became King of Scotland.
After that he was obbligated to kill other people, also friends to continue having the power.
Lady Macbeth had a terrible remorse for her acts and she became mad, she saw blood on her hands because she was implicated into crimes and she committed suicide.
Macbeth realized that he was wrong and he realized that the fate giuded him in a terrible way.
So after that he went to the combat and he died as a "hero".

In my opinion Macbeth is a great tragedy inspirited at a very famous historian man, that is married with his wife, lady Macbeth.
It is a wonderful poem, but I think it is most tragic and cruet than a normal Shakespearian poem.

Once upon a time in a far far land,Scotland,lived a hero called Macbeth:he was tall as a mountain. Stronger as a rock and he had got black hair and dark eyes.
A day coming back home after a battle with his best friend Banquo, who had got red hair and green eyes and very long moustache,he met three orrible witches,they dressed white tunics and they had got the longest grey hair that Banquo and Macbeth have ever seen.
The three woman predicted Macbeth that he would become count of Cawdor and later the King and to Banquo that he would become the father of a line of kings. Infact Macbeth just came to his castle arrived a messenger from the King informed Macbeth of his new title,count of Cawdor and count of Glamis.
Lady Macbeth, Macbeth'wife wanted to be the queen absolutly,she was beautiful,with blue eyes as the sea and hair as gold,so she decided with her husband to kill the King Duncan.
In the night at the castle Macbeth killed the king and the following day the sons of the king escaped because they were scary to be riteined suspects of the death of their father.
Macbeth thought that Banquo would confessed all the true about what he do and therefore he decided to kill him and his son to be sure to be safe. After Macbeth met again the three witches. They told him to pay attention to Macduff,a noble man,but also they said that Macbeth could not be killed by a man who is born of a woman so Macbeth was quiet.
Macbeth killed all Macduff's family.
Macbeth thought to be invulnerable but, how the witches had predicted, Macduff killed him during a terrible battle with swords, because he was not born of a woman because he was born by caesarian birth;there was blood everywere.
In the and Malcolm, son of the King Duncan, became the king.

Macbeth is the maior Shakesperean tragedy written after Re Lear , and Otello where the main theme is gelosy.
But here ambition is the main theme.
Trade by a series of cronicals , and entitled thus because at the start of the 500 ( year in the which is compoded ) comes to take up litterary culture and reaffirmed human centrality , it tells a story about a Scottish general he wants to became king ; and with his ambiction reaches the objective.
The work is arranged into acts ; these are made up of sceene.
The protagonists are Machbeth and Lady Macbeth ; about these comes put to relief contradictions and uncertainties .
Other are characters presents in the text , they compose the articulate society of the Middle - Ages : warriors , thanes , princeps , nobles and witches that reflect the interior condition of the protagonist.
Macbeth is a hero but he wants to act how a human because he is a human.
This is a contrast how the are lots of the contrasts or contradictions that we can found in the text.
In the end Macbeth wants to study the phsycologi of he humans and to photograph the complex and lacerating life where he lives.

The picture representing Macbeth seems to be a holy painting. But, looking at the picture more carefully you can notice that the king has an animal face, that is dued to his murders to get the power.
Macbeth seems to point someone, probably an angel, between the clouds.

Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare (1606, England). It is so known because it gathers themes, like “the corrupting nature of unchecked ambition”, “ the relationship between cruelty and masculinity”, “ the difference between kingship and tyranny”. More over a modern reader can find an other topic: “wickedness over family relationship”.
I think the reading would be interesting because the play is organized in a complex structure of themes; symbols (blood and the weather) that are used to represent abstract ideas or concepts; motifs (hallucinations, violence and prophecy) that can help the reader to understand themes.
And last but not least all that is connected to historical elements and characters (King Macbeth of Scotland).

What makes him a hero?
Just looking at this question, I can only think this aphorism: “Kill a man, you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, you are a hero. Kill everyone, you are a god “.
Lol Maybe if he had said that had died for us, now he would have been on the crucified! I am jokking…

It is a fantastic play-it shows a tragic man that doesn't stop in front off base actions to realize his ambition

Looking for this picture it seems like a religious image but if you note the face of Macbeth you note that it seems like an animal one!
I see hate in Macbeth's eyes but loohing for the msn near him I can't see fear and this is very strange on my opinion!
I think that also the ground comunicate sudness.

You can understand Macbeth's spell just listening to G. verdi's Macbeth?

Does it mean you read it in Italian.
Well, that's all right. You can ask you ex students why witches are so important in life?

Non ho mai letto Macbeth in inglese.
Mi piacerebbe sapere perché c'è tutto quel sangue!
E poi io non credo alle streghe...
