The Sergeant reports his strength, bravery and determination on the battlefield, and the King shows him great respect by calling him 'noble' and naming him Thane of Cawdor. Other Thanes speak admiringly of his strength and honour. 2 At the start of the play he battles his conscience, whether it is right or wrong to kill the King. He is plagued by fears, visions and paranoia, emphasising that he is not a simple villain, but a good man turned bad. 3 The act that triggers Macbeth to change from good soldier to tempted murderer is when he is named Thane of Cawdor. Until then he did not prescribe to the witches' prophecies. but upon one of them coming true, his ambition to become King, and belief that it was his fate, began to change his behaviour. 4 He kills the King because he is ambitious, and Lady Macbeth manipulates him into doing it by convincing him it is his to take, and he is not a real man unless he does 5 It becomes more grandiose, and he uses regal pronouns like 'we/our' rather than 'I/my'. A royal or person of high office might refer to themselves as 'we' in a formal and hierarchical fashion 6 Banquo knows about the witches so may suspect Macbeth; the witches prophecy said that Banquo would be the father of Kings so Macbeth fears Fleance will somehow succeed him. 7 The witches' apparitions tell him he cannot be hurt by any man born from a woman and he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Castle. He thinks neither of these possible, and hence that he is invincible. 8 Alliteration is used to link the words 'forget' and 'fear' and highlight their significance and the metaphor 'taste of fear' highlights how the witches have made him feel over-confident and how fear is not something he can sense or relate to. 9 Macbeth is mocking the idea that MacDuff could scare him in any way, especially as he is born from a woman, as Macbeth believes the witches' prophecies indicate he cannot be hurt by anyone born of a woman - which is everyone. 10 The Thanes start to distrust Macbeth following his strange and suspicious behaviour at the banquet, and grow to fear and hate him for his tyrannical rule

Shakespeare shows Macbeth to be a good man through the viewpoints of other characters in Act 1, scene 2. The Sergeant reports his strength, bravery and determination on the battlefield, and the King shows him great respect by calling him 'noble' and naming him Thane of Cawdor. Other Thanes speak admiringly of his strength and honour.

At the start of the play he battles his conscience, whether it is right or wrong to kill the King. He is plagued by fears, visions and paranoia, emphasising that he is not a simple villain, but a good man turned bad.

The act that triggers Macbeth to change from good soldier to tempted murderer is when he is named Thane of Cawdor. Until then he did not prescribe to the witches' prophecies. but upon one of them coming true, his ambition to become King, and belief that it was his fate, began to change his behaviour.

He kills the King because he is ambitious, and Lady Macbeth manipulates him into doing it by convincing him it is his to take, and he is not a real man unless he does

It becomes more grandiose, and he uses regal pronouns like 'we/our' rather than 'I/my'. A royal or person of high office might refer to themselves as 'we' in a formal and hierarchical fashion

Banquo knows about the witches so may suspect Macbeth; the witches prophecy said that Banquo would be the father of Kings so Macbeth fears Fleance will somehow succeed him.

The witches' apparitions tell him he cannot be hurt by any man born from a woman and he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Castle. He thinks neither of these possible, and hence that he is invincible.

Alliteration is used to link the words 'forget' and 'fear' and highlight their significance and the metaphor 'taste of fear' highlights how the witches have made him feel over-confident and how fear is not something he can sense or relate to.

Macbeth is mocking the idea that MacDuff could scare him in any way, especially as he is born from a woman, as Macbeth believes the witches' prophecies indicate he cannot be hurt by anyone born of a woman - which is everyone.

The Thanes start to distrust Macbeth following his strange and suspicious behaviour at the banquet, and grow to fear and hate him for his tyrannical rule
