How is power developed,destroyed, and restored in Macbeth?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Power remains one of the crucial themes of Macbeth. The theme of power and ambition to gain it is evident in almost all the characters in the play - but primarily Macbeth himself.

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth has enough power - he is a good, brave soldier. Upon hearing the witches' prophecy, however, he realizes that it is not enough for him to be a soldier. By blindly following the prophecy and his wife's instructions, he becomes less powerful. Both the Three witches, and Macbeth's wife, therefore, have control over his life at this point. It is Lady Macbeth that convinces Macbeth to kill Duncan in order to become a king, even though Macbeth is clearly having second thoughts about it. At this point of the play, Macbeth's wife is more decisive and powerful than him.

When Macbeth kills Duncan and becomes the new king, he does develop power, but not for long. He begins to feel guilty because of the murder he committed. This reduces his power - he becomes weak, he hallucinates, and is unable to think rationally, which leads to his death. Macbeth's character, therefore, undergoes the phases of having enough power as a soldier, having less power when listening to his wife, having more power as a king, and eventually losing all his power and dying.

It might be useful to note that other characters (Macduff and Malcolm, for instance) might not seem that powerful at the beginning of the play, but gradually gain more power. They use their power only when they have to - Macduff uses it to revenge his wife and children, murdered by Macbeth. He is wiser and more modest. At the end of the play, Macbeth dies, and Macduff and Malcolm seize power.

Based on historical context, April 4, 1974, was a day that will always be "remembered" in baseball history.

<h3>The conclusion of the story goes thus:</h3>

At 2:40 P.M. in Cincinnati, Hank (Henry) Aaron of the Atlanta Braves "tied" what had been Babe Ruth’s unbroken record—714 home runs during a major league baseball career.

He "hit" a 3 ball, 1 strike pitch into a home run that "bounced" over the wall.

Four days later, on April 8, Aaron "breaks" history again. The stadium "was fully" packed, and millions were "listening" and "watching" the game in their homes.

The weather was cool and cloudy. The Dodgers were "down" 3 to 1, and the Braves had one player on first base.

The pitcher "threw" a fastball, and Aaron "caught" it over the left-field fence.

The crowd must have been wild with excitement! Aaron had "hit" number 715 and had "broken" Ruth’s record.

The crowd "stood" up at once and "started" clapping to appreciate the new hero.

Aaron was "filled" with joy among his fellows. Then he "moved" to the stage to "receive" the trophy.

He "became" the famous entity. Nobody after him "broke" his record.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that Hank Aaron is one of the greatest Baseball players.
