Macbeth: A Tragic Tale of Ambition and Guilt
As an avid reader and lover of Shakespearean plays, I recently had the pleasure of delving into the tragic tale of Macbeth. Written by the master playwright William Shakespeare, Macbeth is a captivating exploration of human ambition, guilt, and the destructive consequences they can bring.
The play follows the rise and fall of Macbeth, a brave and loyal Scottish general. Encouraged by the prophecies of three witches and driven by his ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth, Macbeth is consumed by the desire for power and is willing to do anything to achieve it.
Throughout the play, Shakespeare masterfully portrays the internal struggle within Macbeth's mind. We witness his descent into madness as his ambition overrides his moral compass. Macbeth's soliloquies, such as the famous "Is this a dagger which I see before me?" speech, reveal the torment and guilt he feels as he contemplates the heinous acts he has committed.
One of the most striking aspects of Macbeth is the exploration of guilt and its psychological effects. As Macbeth and Lady Macbeth commit murder after murder to secure their positions, the weight of their crimes begins to take a toll on their sanity. Lady Macbeth's famous sleepwalking scene, where she desperately tries to wash the imaginary bloodstains from her hands, is a powerful depiction of the guilt that haunts them.
Shakespeare's use of language and imagery adds depth and richness to the play. The poetic lines and powerful metaphors create a vivid and haunting atmosphere. From the eerie witches chanting "Double, double toil and trouble" to Macbeth's chilling realization that "Life's but a walking shadow," the play is filled with memorable quotes that stay with the reader long after the final curtain falls.
Macbeth also raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of power and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Through the character of Macbeth, Shakespeare shows us the dangers of blindly pursuing power without considering the moral implications. Macbeth's unquenchable thirst for power ultimately leads to his downfall, and he learns too late the hollowness and emptiness that comes with his success.
In conclusion, reading Macbeth has been a truly captivating experience. Shakespeare's exploration of ambition, guilt, and the destructive consequences they bring is as relevant today as it was when the play was first performed. Macbeth serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of morality and the dangers of unchecked ambition. It is a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences across the globe.

Macbeth: An Introspection into the Human Psyche
Having recently read Macbeth, I am left in awe of Shakespeare's ability to delve into the depths of the human psyche and explore the complex motivations that drive our actions. Macbeth is not just a play about ambition and power; it is a profound examination of the human condition and the choices we make.
The character of Macbeth is a fascinating study in the battle between good and evil within us all. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is portrayed as a brave and loyal soldier. However, as the prophecies of the witches awaken his ambition, we witness the transformation of a once noble and honorable man into a tyrant consumed by guilt and paranoia.
Shakespeare's portrayal of Lady Macbeth is equally compelling. Lady Macbeth's ambition and desire for power are evident from the moment she learns of the witches' prophecies. She is willing to go to any lengths to ensure Macbeth's rise to the throne, including plotting and executing the murder of King Duncan. However, as the guilt of their actions weighs on her conscience, we see her descent into madness and eventual suicide. Lady Macbeth serves as a cautionary example of the destructive consequences of unchecked ambition.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Macbeth is the exploration of fate and free will. The prophecies of the witches suggest a predetermined path for Macbeth, yet he still has the freedom to choose his actions. This raises questions about the nature of destiny and the extent to which we have control over our own lives. Macbeth's tragic downfall can be seen as a result of his own choices, as he becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deceit and violence.
Shakespeare's masterful use of language and imagery adds depth and complexity to the play. The recurring motifs of darkness and bloodshed create a sense of foreboding and unease. Macbeth's soliloquies, in particular, offer a glimpse into his internal struggle and the torment he feels as he grapples with his ambition and the consequences of his actions.
Macbeth is not just a play to be read; it is meant to be performed. The dramatic tension, the intense emotions, and the powerful dialogue come to life on stage. The play's universal themes of ambition, guilt, and the nature of humanity resonate with audiences across time and cultures.
In conclusion, Macbeth is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate readers and audiences alike. Shakespeare's exploration of the human psyche, the complexities of ambition, and the consequences of our choices make it a play that remains relevant and thought-provoking. Macbeth serves as a reminder of the importance of self-reflection and the dangers of succumbing to our darkest desires. It is a profound examination of the human condition that leaves a lasting impact on all who engage with it.
麦克白读后感英语版 篇三
After learning this drama during this semester, I learn a lot. And here I have some points to talk about.
The first one is that I am very impressed by the wittiness of Duncan’s two sons, Malcolm and Dona Bain. When their father is murdered, the situation is a chaos. They don’t know who the murderer is and what their intentions are. They realize that they may be also in danger, as Dona Bain says to Malcolm: “What should be spoken here, where our fate, hid in an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? Let’s away; our tears are not yet brew’s.” So when Macbeth suggests all meet in the hall together, Malcolm says that”let’s not consort with them” and he goes to England and Dona Bain to Ireland. As we can see, if they don’t flee, they may become the next persons to die, especially Malcolm, who is named by the king the Prince of Cumberland and will inherit the kingship after his father. As the old saying goes, revenge is a dish that should be eaten cold (君子报仇,十年不晚). The fact also proves that they make the right decision. Several years later, Malcolm comes back, fights with Ma
cbeth and gains the kingship. What I want to say is not that we should revenge our enemies, but that we should keep in reason, keep calm. Think twice before you jump, especially in emergencies and disorders.
Another point I’d like to talk about is the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. At the very beginning, we can see that they have a very good relationship. Before he comes back home, Macbeth has already send a letter home to Lady Macbeth to tell her the success of the war and the three witches’ prophesy. When Macbeth hesitate if murder Duncan or not, Lady Macbeth scolds him as coward. All these indicate that they are in a good relationship. After Duncan is killed, in order to clear the way to become the king, Macbeth plans to kill Banquet and his son. But he doesn’t tell his wife. Their relation is going badly. We can infer that Macbeth doesn’t tell Lady Macbeth his plan to kill Mac duff’s wife and children either. Because in Act Ⅴ Scene Ⅰ, when Lady Macbeth is sleep walking, she says: “The Thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?” And finally when his wife is dead, he is very cold, just saying: “she could have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word.” How comes a loving couple of the old days becomes strangers! It’s the blood-thirsty ambition that counts. From this, I learn that sometimes ambition is not a good thing. And if you have a proper ambition, such as becoming a champion in a competition or getting the highest score in an exam, you should get it through proper means, such as practicing a lot and study hard but not through cheating. Also, I learn that wife is an important role in a family. She should always lead the husband to go the right way to get the right thing. Otherwise, she could be the one who is hurt mostly.

The great writer Maxim Gorky once said: "the book is the ladder of human progress." indeed reading can cultivate sentiments, reading can broaden our horizons, the book from the ocean for drip sentiment, hone their own, improve oneself, one of Shakespeares four tragedies" Mike white" rich life philosophy, I see Mike Whites tragedy, also discusses the social tragedy.
In sixteenth Century in England, all kinds of social contradictions increasingly apparent, the war with France, Scotland and Spain strained relations, chaotic, and relaxation, financial constraints, the price expensive, particularly troublesome is the sharp religious sect conflict, from the physiocracy to mercantilism market economy transition and because the enclosure movement caused serious the refugee problem in social environment, extreme inpidualistic malign expand, and the author for the " good" the harmony between person and person, love, peace, human nature and moral responsibilities of the ideal life is completely draw further apart, in Mike Whites era, society is not peaceful, although he and Norway did not openly joint, but his treason felony is his own confession, and have proved, that he ruined.

Right desire driving force the binding is often greater than the superego, Mike white and lose all standing and reputation, but bring trouble to oneself, not to accept the influence of witch.
But she is a bad fall into a wrong path, murder is Mike white, who was the victim of Duncan became Mike white killings direct accomplice, direct reasons, forced Mike to white Dutch act other than, but Duncan himself. If Duncan is not on the issue of succession to Mike white with a desperate fight Gong Yan, not before leaving their action for Mike white manufacturing attack conditions, Mike white and the witch is incapable of action, and Mike white lady represents the most arrogant character in Mike white, the hardest part of it, she can do to kill their sons and daughters, so cruel extreme means to confirm Mike white the murder was determined, Mike Whites tragic fate already cannot avoid. In to help her husband to usurp the throne in the process, she showed a B will, B personality, calm mind, extraordinary talent and courage, in lust with love, she would love to return for the desire for power, showing how she cruel and inhuman. Many reasons lead to the Mike Whites murder, step by step toward the abyof evil, witch, ghosts and gods, dark fantasy, Mike White gave himself up completely at the mercy of supernatural inextricably bogged down in, show Strong fatalism, mans fate seemed entirely in the hands of the nether world, but also by the desire for power completely devoid of human ambition.

Shakespeare wrote countless glories in his life, and was not honoured in the 16th century until the 19th century, when the British romanticized the tide of romanticism, he was promoted to the point of genius. In Shakespeares legendary life, several works are known, such as Hamlet Lear and Macbeth.
Both Macbeth and Lear are typical political tragedies. The former is the one who makes himself lose his heart; The latter is a frivolous way of making the whole kingdom crumble and personal. Personally, I prefer Macbeth.
There is a classic line in Macbeth: "the best looks can deceive people. A false heart must be covered with a false smile. Macbeths words made me feel very surprised, above or in battlefield invincible Sir, now I became treacherous against thief, for such a big change, not just because of one factor.
Who have unpredictable side, when can meet but not make things appear in front of the Macbeth has not control their own desires, under the drive of power step by step will yourself into the abyss.
In this article, there is an unpredictable external cause, which is the ghost and witch who can not see the first sight of the dragon. The later Macbeth listened to their predictions. Apart from Macbeths reaction to the prophecy, what was the heart of the witch and the spirit? Are they good or ill? Shakespeare did not point it directly here. Personally, I think the witch and ghost may not be with goodwill, because, one is dark in the unknown future is bright, tend to be more brave, ignorance, and really know their future fate, but counterproductive, or sorrow or dispirited and discouraged, as for the influence of others, can only from the perspective of listen to the heart. Even if the witches knew the future, they could not predict the fate of the people.
The appearance of the witch was prompted by the encouragement of madame Macbeth to her husband. If Macbeths wife did not appear in the life of the protagonist Macbeth, Macbeth, if does not listen to his wifes fallacy, our hero could be made in triumphal moment for Sir, then it stands to reason, inheriting the emperor industry finally enron to old age.
In this way, our Macbeth has become a blade of the sea, and if you cant go with the flow, you can only be unmercifully flipped over. His life is full of ups and downs, but the destiny is always in his own hands, and Macbeth lost his life because he had no opinion.
Said, cannot leave the "desire", Macbeth because desire lost his head, his wife because of thirst for power manipulates the Macbeth begins, in the history of the empress dowager also have the same effect, wore a grandiose mask, for their own desires at the expense of others.
Every life comes with seven emotions and six desires, the desire is a sharp blade, can not draw a knife to injure oneself also can not be taken a knife to kill.

And here I have some points to talk about.
The first one is that I am very impressed by the wittiness of Duncan’s two sons, Malcolm and Donalbain.
When their father is murdered, the situation is a chaos.
They don’t know who the murderer is and what their intentions are.
They realize that they may be also in danger, as Donalbain says to Malcolm: “What should be spoken here, where our fate, hid in an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? Let’s away; our tears are not yet brew’d.

As we can see, if they don’t flee, they may become the next persons to die, especially Malcolm, who is named by the king the Prince of Cumberland and will inherit the kingship after his father.
As the old saying goes, revenge is a dish that should be eaten cold .
The fact also proves that they make the right decision.
Several years later, Malcolm comes back, fights with Macbeth and gains the kingship.
What I want to say is not that we should revenge our enemies, but that we should keep in reason, keep calm.
Think twice before you jump, especially in emergencies and disorders.

At the very beginning, we can see that they have a very good relationship.

When Macbeth hesitate if murder Duncan or not, Lady Macbeth scolds him as coward.
All these indicate that they are in a good relationship.
After Duncan is killed, in order to clear the way to become the king, Macbeth plans to kill Banquo and his son.
But he doesn’t tell his wife.
Their relation is going badly.
We can infer that Macbeth doesn’t tell Lady Macbeth his plan to kill Macduff’s wife and children either.
Because in Act Ⅴ Scene Ⅰ, when Lady Macbeth is sleep walking, she says: “The Thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?” And finally when his wife is dead, he is very cold, just saying: “she could have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word.
” How comes a loving couple of the old days becomes strangers! It’s the blood-thirsty ambition that counts.
From this, I learn that sometimes ambition is not a good thing.
And if you have a proper ambition, such as becoming a champion in a competition or getting the highest score in an exam, you should get it through proper means, such as practicing a lot and study hard but not through cheating.
Also, I learn that wife is an important role in a family.
She should always lead the husband to go the right way to get the right thing.
Otherwise, she could be the one who is hurt mostly.
