Think about the start of the play. What
is Macbeth rewarded for? What is the first Thane of Cawdor punished for?
- Macbeth is rewarded for the honour he displays towards the King- His bravery in battle as he fights for his King and country.
When Macbeth kills Duncan what is his immediate response? What does his intense feeling do guilt tell us?
- Macbeth's response to murdering Duncan, is that he is totally distraught. He is aware that he has gone against that order, which is naturalised in the play- he never recovers from this.
- This chaos tells us the Macbeth has gone against nature and killed Duncan, who was the king my divine right
What occurs in the natural world when Duncan is murdered? Why? What does this tell us?
- The chaos that comes to scotland, shows the audience what natural order is. Duncan's horses eat each other, when an owl is able to kill a falcon, this emphasises the fact that there is chaos in the human world When Macbeth is killed and Malcolm regains the throne what happens to Scotland?
- Order returns to Scotland as Malcolm, the rightful King, regains the throne.
