    18:30 PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY
    Macbeth as a Tragic Hero
    1. Tragic Hero - Greek tragedy, takes action to avoid fate, but no free will
    2. Free will - Macbeth is the antithesis, takes action to meet his fate
    3. Banquo - taking no action to allow fate to happen
    4. Fate - King James 1 is king - linked to Banquo’s fate - let it happen, is Shakespeare’s message to the nobility. Great Chain of Being determines everyone’s status.
    5. Shakespeare - son of a glovemaker in Stratford, a backwater, now playwright to the king at court - a whole life built on free will.
    6. The witches - never tell Macbeth what to do, they are the fates of Greek tragedy
    7. Macbeth - loves killing - “Which ne’er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,
    Till he unseam’d him from the nave to the chops”
    8. Immediately thinks of murder and bloodshed - “why do I yield to that suggestion/ Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair” His fate is his addiction to violence and bloodlust. He immediately rejects doing nothing: “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me/ Without my stir.”
    9. Writes to Lady Macbeth to call her “my dearest partner of greatness”, so that she can plan how he can become king.
    10. Realises his ambition is not enough - “I have no spur/ To prick the sides of my intent, but only/ Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself/ And falls on th’ other” - a line only completed by Lady Macbeth. She is the rider of his intent, he is only the spur.
    11. Patriarchal suppression of women’s free will - Lady Macbeth fights against this fate, but rushes towards her husband’s.
    12. Macbeth follows his “dagger of the mind”, covered in “gouts of blood” - love of killing drives him. But free will also attacks his own mind.
    13. Love of killing means he loses control and kills the grooms, then Banquo. Knows that fate must equally work for Banquo, but ignores this truth.
    14. Love of violence and bloodlust has trapped him - why he sees Banquo’s ghost with his “gory locks”. Fate uses this irony, “thou canst not say I did it” so the nobles think this is a confession about killing Duncan.
    15. Implies that perhaps he could have remained king had he only killed Duncan.
    16. Similar irony in giving into bloodlust and violence when he chooses to kill Macduff’s family, “I am in blood/ Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,/ Returning were as tedious as go o’er.” Fate uses this as it gives Macduff the motive to kill Macbeth.
    17. Lady Macbeth’s act of free will has also driven her to madness, with “a mind diseas’d” and suicide - she too fixes on blood which no one else can see - “out damned spot”.
    18. Her death leads to him realising that he has only thought he acted out of free will, but actually was fated to act out a “tale” already written: “it is a tale/
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing.” Nihilistic view of life, and god as the “idiot” who has made life meaningless. Life is “petty”.
    19. Now he looks for the man who is going to kill him, “Such a one
    Am I to fear, or none.”
    20. Because of their transgressions against society, Fate has not just killed them off, but robbed them of any joy in their success, and of their sanity. Warning of how Fate will deal with any challenge to King James.
    21. But Shakespeare himself tries to influence James, in his portrayal of Malcolm, to stop any “watchful tyranny” in reprisals against Catholics noble families. He still writes his own “tale” and tries to shape the future through free will.
    Supernatural
    1. If the question is on the supernatural - go through the witches promises and show how they never ask Macbeth to do anything.
    2. Lady Macbeth seeks them out - “come…you murd’ring ministers.”
    3. Use the same evidence as above to show how the tragedy is not the supernatural influence, but their own desires.
    4. Show how these desires are produced by society, which oppresses women, and sets everyone’s rank at birth - violence is the only way for Macbeth to succeed.
    5. So Shakespeare thinks society will always be at war like this - hence James’s fascination with witch trials - Fate acting against free will. Witches given ridiculous, childlike rhyme, trochaic tetrameter, undermining the idea that they have supernatural power - and of course they never control what any character does - they only foretell the future.
    6. They are based on the Fates of Greek myth - acting on behalf of the gods, not against them as evil.

    Thanks so much. I've attempted to summarise the key points from this vid (using quite a lot of the same wording as you as, after all, it is the best!) and thought it may help some of you...
    Also, please please please could u do one of these for love and relationships poetry... ive seen the one a few years ago but could u do an updated one? There's really no good vids on the L+R cluster and even just one comparison prediction would help so much!! Thanks :))
    Macbeth is presented as the archetype of a tragic hero. However, the genius of Shakespeare is that he takes the original Greek model, which is a tragic hero who does everything they can to avoid their fate, and he flips that completely, by allowing Macbeth to find out his fate that he will become King (through the witches’ prophecies). The tragedy is that Macbeth exercises his free will, and rushes towards that fate, committing sacrilegious acts along the way (through his own free will), such as that of regicide.
    This is significant, as this is a propaganda play: it is a political manifesto for how the nobles should behave. Shakespeare has not written Macbeth to be performed at the globe, as most of his plays were, but rather in the court of King James, in front of all the nobles, and King James was paying Shakespeare to do so. Written specifically for the King, Shakespeare recognises that free will is James’ enemy: all the nobles in the audience likely believe they have more right to claim the throne than James does, as he was Scottish, and they had been in England for many generations. This threat of revolution has been recently dramatized in the 1605 Gunpowder plot so, in order to stop this threat of revolution, Shakespeare constructs the character ‘Macbeth’ who will meet his tragedy because of his free will, which allows his violence to take over. Therefore, he discredits free will, as it creates Macbeth’s hamartia, which is likely his bloodlust and other flaws that come as a result of his free will.
    We know this from his soliloquy, which tells us thoughts directly from his head, where there can be no lie, and we see that Macbeth’s hamartia cannot be his ambition alone. It must instead be the love he has for his wife, and his desire to give her the greatness she desires, by letting her control him, therefore giving her free will - as a woman in a patriarchal society, Lady Macbeth would not have had the opportunity to shape their own destinies, and their entire fate depends on the males in their families, or their husbands. Therefore, she could only exercise her free will by controlling her husband. Shakespeare annihilates her moment of free will here by marking it as evil: he has to portray free will in such a way in order to discourage the nobles from exercising their free will and attempting to overthrow King James.
    However, a more perceptive audience may notice that this creates a subplot. Shakespeare himself is the epitome of free will, born the son of a glovemaker in the provincial town of Stratford-upon-Avon, and inventing himself by coming to London, and exerting his volition. Moreover, this defies the Great Chain of Being where everyone is allocated an invariable position in society, as he has risen to become the top playwright in England, as his company - The King’s Men - is under the patronage of the King. By exercising his own free will, Shakespeare has made it in society: the paradox is that in his play ‘Macbeth’, he presents free will as the enemy. This creates tension between his own impulse to express himself, while concurrently appealing to King James.
    Arguably, this tension is what leads to the great contrast and conflict within characters themselves, and therefore creates the great violence within the play. Macbeths’ obsession with blood and killing produces madness within himself and with his wife. As a consequence of exercising his own free will, Macbeth is driven mad: he hallucinates an imaginary dagger covered with ‘gouts of blood’ (the motif of blood here is also created as a result of his bloodlust, which has manifested himself through the witches’ inspiring him to exercise his free will - previously, before his encounter with them, all his killings were glorified and considered noble acts, as his role as a soldier was praised in the martial society, as we saw in Act 1 Scene 2). Lady Macbeth picks up on this motif of blood, as she hallucinates a ‘damned spot’ of blood on her hand. Likewise, her acts of free will, becoming Macbeth’s ‘rider’ and encouraging him to kill Duncan, have driven her mad. This picks up on the idea of divine retribution, where the Macbeths’ are receiving a supernatural punishment, through the form of hallucinations, for having followed their own free will, again creating a didactic warning for any possible rebels amongst the nobility at court.
    The refined and educated Jacobean audience of nobles would also be familiar with Greek tragedy, where fate happens no matter what: Macbeth recognises this, deliberating that ‘chance may crown me without my stir’, and he could just wait to become King. However, he chooses not to wait and instead exercises his free will, in an attempt to achieve the prophecies that the witches’ have told to him faster: his bloodlust and atheism which come as a result of these attempts to accelerate that fate therefore form key elements of his hamartia, as they disturb the natural order of events.
    This idea also relates to the theme of the supernatural, as although the witches’ do not advise Macbeth to endeavour to seek his fate, the prophecies that they tell him do all end up being entirely true. The foil of Macbeth is Banquo, who crucially understands the witches’ notion that he doesn’t have to purposefully exercise his free will and can allow his own fate to come about naturally. He continues to just let events take their natural course as when he suspects Macbeth has ‘played most foully’ and killed Duncan, he remains ‘hush’. By not going out of his way to exercise his free will (for example, unlike Macduff, he doesn’t flee Scotland), he accepts that ultimately, even if it involves his own death, Fleance will become king. This reinforces the powerful political message because people believed that King James was descended from Banquo: therefore, this plot device suggests that James is the righteous King as a result of fate. The audience fear that any attempts to overthrow him will not only result in them being eternally punished by God, driven to insanity, and derived of any pleasure in their kingship (as happens to Macbeth), but will also ultimately result in their failure, since fate has already decided that it is inevitable that King James will be King.

    based on this video alone, i feel like the question could be, how far do you agree with the statement 'the witches prophesies lead to macbeth's downfall', or something along those lines as you ,mentioned in this video about disrupting the natural order of things,the witches inspiring him to excercise his free will, and macbeth letting his wife control him in hopes to give her the greatness she desires.
    This could potentially be right, but we'll see in the exam🤞

    @adamjohnson8341 2 года назад +22

    Hello again, Mr Salles,
    I've written an essay on Macbeth and the Supernatural. The question was this: 'How does Shakespeare present witchcraft and the supernatural.' The passage was from 'That, trusted home, might yet enkindle you...' to 'Two truths are told, as happy prologues to the swelling act'. Could you perhaps give any feedback for improvement:
    Shakespeare presents the supernatural to be an unsettling force, as well as perhaps playing a significant role in Macbeth's ascent to the "golden crown", followed by his imment demise as a "hellhound". In Macbeth, Shakespeare presents witchcraft in a condemning manner, conforming to the medieval attitudes that witches were scheming old hags and had all formed a pact with the devil himself (believed and emphasised by James I in his book 'Daemonologie').
    In their first entrance, The witches established a foreboding, mysterious atmosphere, where "fair is foul" and "foul is fair". The fricatives perhaps highlight the paradoxical statement by the witches, who suggest a moral confusion which will dominate the characters' decisions throughout the play. Perhaps the "fog" and "filthy air" act as a metaphor. The literal lack of clarity caused by the fog and filthy air reflects the moral ambiguity which becomes obvious in some characters as the play proceeds, mainly in Macbeth. To reinforce this link of moral ambiguity to Macbeth and his eventual demise, Shakespeare echoes this paradox with Macbeth's remark as he first appears to the audience. Perhaps the obvious echoing is structured at this very moment to contrast the valour and praise that Macbeth has been so far associated with, immediately forcing the audience to associate Macbeth's innate nature with a lack of moral direction essentially for building his eventual crime of regicide.
    Alternatively, perhaps Shakespeare constructs Macbeth's words as a direct echo of the supernatural to reflect the dominating role the witches will play in Macbeth's eventual destruction.
    Shakespeare, in many ways, conforms to the Jacobean attitudes under King James I, including his portrayal of the three "weird sisters" as an unsettling presence. The three witches speak in 'trochaic tetrameter', a deliberate shift away from the 'iambic pentameter' deployed within the rest of the play.
    The noticeable shift away from a metre resembling everyday speech helps to present the witches as otherworldly and unsettling, further emphasised by their "fantastical appearance".
    Perhaps Shakespeare presents the witches to be so unsettling in appearance to reflect the distrustful nature of their prophecies, as well as to conform to James I's perception of the witches in the Jacobean era. In his 1601 book called 'Daemonologie', James I explicitly stated the witche to be in allegiance with the Devil and having 'familiars' (something that the three 'weird sisters' also possess). By connecting the witches in Macbeth with the witches described in Daemonologie, Shakespeare immediately shows the credibility of James I's views that witches were not to be trusted.
    Shakespeare further emphasises witchcraft to be a deceiving notion, with the prophetic greeting structured to be an event that fuels Macbeth's ambition and catalyses his demise as a tyrant, breaking the natural order of life. The phrase "All hail Macbeth, hail to thee" is characterised by its anaphora, making the three proclamations seem connected in nature. The triadic phrase in which the prophecy is constructed perhaps further emphasises the sequential link to the three titles. This is very important since the news of Macbeth's new title as Thane of Cawdor ignites his desire to be "king hereafter". Perhaps the persuasive construction of the prophetic greeting shifts some blame onto the witches, who are portrayed as the entertainers of regicide, which further shows their distrustful nature.
    The moral dilemma in Macbeth is caused by the witches, whose soliciting "cannot be ill, cannot be good". The parallelism of these two phrases perhaps suggests a moral confusion in Macbeth, due to how interchangeable the two phrases seem. This moral confusion occurs directly after supernatural involvement, but Shakespeare structures the prophecy to be heard by Banquo too, who now acts as a direct antithesis to Macbeth.
    Claiming the witches to be "instruments of darkness", Banquo contrasts Macbeth due to his indifference in regards to the prophecy. The noun "instruments" connotes slavery, perhaps suggesting that Banquo sees the witches as insignificant due to their lack of identity and their enslavement to the notion of greed and evil. Shakespeare seemingly presents Banquo as suspicious throughout, recognising the temptations of the witches and the consequences of being subservient to them, to show how Banquo is saved from moral and religious disgrace due to his suspicion of the witches, a quality that Macbeth abandons.
    Banquo is constructed to be morally untarnished since James I viewed himself as a distant ancestor of Banquo. Shakespeare is perhaps using Banquo's response to the witches and the notion of witchcraft itself to emphasise how James I has a legitimate ancestry, and his claim to the throne is legitimised with this portrayal of Banquo. Shakespeare further uses this noble image of Banquo to encourage the cessation of further planned assassinations against the king.

    Could you say that Macbeth's "Out out brief candle speech" is also and existentialist crisis and argue the idea that he experieces nihilism but realises that he must act and so turns to existentialism which leads him to fighting until he eventually dies?

    Hi Mr Salles - After the GCSE today where they used Eric for AIC which was really weird as he was 2018 please could you revisit your Macbeth predictions as, you start the intro with you don't think they want to damage students mental health so they'll choose Macbeth himself. However after that I really don't think they care about students mental health, playing a trick like that?? Thank you
