From the Paper
"Character Analysis: MacDuff William Shakespeare's character MacDuff, from the play, MacBeth, is a character that is introduced into the script with a certainty about his world that is soon shaken. He is a man that has firmly placed his beliefs in the traditions of Scotland, and inwardly longs for the days of loyalty to kings, and honor among men. These inner beliefs are thus, tested throughout the play, and culminate in a moment of ignorance to knowledge in which the character must decide if these traditional values bear the significance that he had long sense bestowed upon them. In Act 2, Scene 3 MacDuff has begun his day with an assurance about his place beside the king that is filled with confidence. "

Abstract
This paper studies the tragic character of Macbeth in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth". The paper discusses how, true to Shakespearean tragedy, the character's downfall stems from his own actions. The paper examines Macbeth's murder of King Duncan and his role in instigating the demise of both Banquo and Fleance, as well as eventually engineering the deaths of Lady Macduff and her son. The paper also discusses the play's atypical elements in Shakespeare's tragedy formula -- such as the fact that Macbeth is more villain than hero in comparison to other well-known tragic characters. However, the paper concludes that since there is resolution for the survivors after Macbeth's death, the reader is truly able to see him as a tragic character.
From the Paper
"The reader detects a sense of urgency as the murders evolve - another characteristic of the tragic play. Macbeth is desperate to realize his ambition of becoming and remaining king. But his obsession drives him even further as he attempts to exterminate all those who might challenge or succeed him. Even as he proceeds down this ever-darkening course, Macbeth is aware that his flaw may prove fatal."

Abstract
This paper examines how insanity is a predominant element in William Shakespeare's play, "Macbeth". It discusses how insanity, or madness, is represented on three different levels through Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and Macduff, and how each character illustrates varying degrees of insanity and the possible solutions for dealing with it. It looks at how Shakespeare uses insanity in the play to heighten tension, as well as to convey a dark and sinister mood, and how, by gradually leading up to the insanity of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, we are able to witness its devastating effects. It examines how insanity develops in the play and serves as a dramatic function to reinforce the theme of "evil begets evil".
From the Paper
"Lady Macbeth begins to exhibit signs of madness with her strange trances. Her insanity is more significant than Macbeth?s insanity because of her state of mind in the beginning of the play. By making Lady Macbeth?s character despicable, her madness seems more fitting. In other words, she gets what she deserves. This is not to make light of Macbeth?s actions, for he certainly deserves what he has coming to him as well. However, with Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare is more able to reinforce the theme that evil begets evil. Shakespeare delivers this message with unforgettable irony."
