A Character Analysis of Macbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth

English 11
Jeff Widdows

     By the end of Act V scene v  it is clear that Macbeth is not going to
rule his kingdom much longer.  He is to be killed by a "man none of woman
born" (IV,i,80) who we find out latter in the play is Macduff.  Before
Macbeth is to be killed we find out that he is a great warrior,  a sane man, and
a superstitious man.

     In Act I scene ii we find out that Macbeth is a great warrior.  We start
the scene off from a sergeants account of the fighting against the enemy's of
the king and Macbeth.

For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that
name,-disdaining fortune, with his
brandish'd steel, which smok'd with
bloody execution.
                    (I,ii,16-18)
From this we can tell that Macbeth fought bravely and through unbeatable
odds against Macdonwald's army.  It also tells us that Macbeth can handle a
sword like it was an extension of his own body.  The sergeant also tells us:

As cannons overcharg'd with double cracks;
So they doubly redoubled strokes upon the
foe:
                    (I,ii,37-39)
From this we can tell that he was a relentless and courageous fighter and
would not stop until he had won.  He is such a fearless fighter that the day
would be remembered for centuries to come the sergeant says:  "Or memorize
another Golgotha,"  this tells us that Macbeth would have gone down in the
books as Scotland's heroic warrior.  Macbeth had two glorious battles both of
which he had won. from these battles and the sergeants words we can truly
say that Macbeth was a great warrior.

     Macbeth is also to be portrayed as an insane man, but I think that this
is not to be true.  An insane man is supposed to be delirious, make no sense
what-so-ever, and to enjoy the killing and deaths of others.  On the contrary
Macbeth is none of these, he in my opinion is a very sane man.  Macbeth says
to lady Macbeth that "we will proceed no further in this business" (I,vii,31)
