Macbeth Essay on Choices


            A choice is the power, right, or liberty to choose. The result of this choice can come with a positive (desirable) or negative (undesirable) outcome. This concept is clearly demonstrated in William Shakespeare's brilliant play "Macbeth". In "Macbeth" almost all of the characters are forced to make a major choice of some kind or another. Some of these are good choices with desirable results, the others ending horribly. The entire plot of the play "Macbeth" revolves around these choices. These choices are what make the tragedy of "Macbeth" a tragedy. In life an individual is forced to make a variety of choices, some with positive outcomes and others with negative.
             .
             The protagonist Macbeth demonstrates these decision making choices efficiently. In the play "Macbeth", Macbeth must make the ultimate decision as to whether or not murder his own king, Duncan. His decision to commit the murder is what opens up every other choice that Macbeth must face throughout the entire play. After the murdering Duncan, Macbeth's choices fold one after another. At first Macbeth treats each one with extreme caution, care, and time and thoroughly ways out and acts out carefully his decision. Macbeth even goes as far as to consulting the witches for advice, by which he trusts his life on, all to ensure success to his choices. However, as the play goes on, these choices pop up faster and faster which means that Macbeth must adapt coming to his decision faster with less time to think over his decision. This rapid assault or choices leads Macbeth literally insane because he can no longer come to rational decision to act on. It is the result of all these decisions that leads Macbeth to his ultimate fate, to be murdered by Macduff. .
             Another main character of "Macbeth" that is forced to make a numerous amount of choices is Lady Macbeth. Like Macbeth, Lady Macbeth must make some very similar decisions.
