"Whose fault is this whole tragedy?"

I do somewhat agree with what Jenn has to say that it was not all Macbeth's fault, but I still think that it was somewhat his. He did not have to listen to what his wife or the three witches had to say. What happened to the husband being the dominant figure in the family during this time? Obviously Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had an unusual relationship. I think that it is both of their fault for letting the thoughts of becoming king and queen get to them.

I think this is one of those situations that even though everyone will have someone they want to pinpoint the blame on it is almost impossible to do so. It's like a giant web of events that are all intertwined. Some may be more to blame and others to be less blamed but I still think it is difficult to blame one person more than the other. Especially in this case because they're all just cray cray.

I think that the blame should be put on Macbeth. He was weak and gave into the pressure of his wife and the desire to become king. All the wrong decisions he made were his because out of all of this, he was not physically forced in any way. Sure the witches implemented the idea of being king in his head, but he could have let fate take over and become king when the time was right. And so what if his wife is a little crazy, he is a big boy and can make his own decisions. He was the one who decided to kill Banquo on his own. I think Macbeth should be at fault for the tragedy of the book.

I agree that it was Macbeth's fault. It was his choice to take the course of action that he did. He could have done what Banquo had insisted with the witches advice, but he bailed the plan and took a selfish course of action. Leave a Reply. |
