Soliloquies in Macbeth ShakespeareEven though people in retributive justice feel satisfaction, the author may also suffer. William Shakespeare's mighty Macbeth shows the deterioration of an honorable and respectable general, Macbeth, who becomes a tragic hero after the temptations of witches and his wife to commit murder. Macbeth's soliloquies allow the audience to experience the conflict within Macbeth and thus understand the reasons for his behavior and decisions. As a result, Macbeth's enormous reversal of fortune ultimately leaves the audience filled not with pity, but also with respect, realizing that people can suffer greatly. Macbeth's soliloquies before the murder of Duncan show the vigorous inner struggle of himself, as his conscience is fighting against his evil spirits. They also show that Macbeth brought about his own downfall. The audience will then pity Macbeth's self-induced deterioration by witnessing his choice to follow evil. Macbeth is a brave and honorable general in Scotland. His success in the battle against the invaders of Scotland earned him the respect of King Duncan and his comrades in arms. However, demonic forces, symbolized by three witches, tempt Macbeth. The witches greet Macbeth as the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor who will be king and greet Banquo, who is a nobleman from Scotland and Macbeth's friend, as one who will become the father of a line of kings. Macbeth's ambition deep in his heart begins to grow at this moment. In Act I, scene iii, when Macbeth reflects on the fulfillment of the two prophecies previously given by the witches, "My thought, whose murder is still only fantastic, shakes my unique state of man" (I, iii, 139-140). In this monologue, Macbeth reflects his idea about the “two truths” told by the witches. He has ambitions to become king, because he reacts nervously when the witches mention his fate. The very idea of ​​murder “shakes his unique state as a man”. However, at this point, he is loyal to the king and he rejects the idea of ​​murder: “If chance wants me to be king, well, chance can crown me, without me moving. » (I, iii, 143-144). The witches' predictions may have reinforced the criminal intentions that he had probably never dared to express clearly, even to himself. He is not allied to crime, he is neutral, but clearly temptation is exerted on him..
