Explore Shakespeare’s use of language effects and dramatic devices and how they reveal the action of ambition on the character Macbeth
Macbeth as a longing and mostly interesting play during 1606, the genius William Shakespeare behind the scenes writing up such creative and desire to entertain Elizabeth the 1st who was a Wicked Queen because of her ruthless acts of execution, Shakespeare’s Tragedy Of Macbeth was a play that impressed the Queen and to soften King James who was but a new King to Scotland.
Paragraph One: Soliloquy is a crystal clear idea in the Tragedy Of Macbeth, it is an idea that captures the character’s thoughts and what they plan to do during their existence as a living being. This idea played a major part during this Tragedy Of Macbeth by this one Soliloquy during Macbeth’s crazed state of mind to debate on if he must do the evil deed to become the Wicked King, or play the Loyal soldier and let Malcolm lead on. By this “Is this a dagger I see before me, the handle towards my hand? come, let me clutch thee,” This might be only one part of the soliloquy but this one part can have such meaning that you couldn’t even think of if you read it over and over again, Shakespeare uses these words to give us an exact meaning of what Macbeth plans to do in his mind and physical state.
Paragraph Two: Treason or an Evil Intention is also a important key idea in William Shakespeare’s Tragedy Of Macbeth because it gives off a very instinctive aura of pain and suffering from the makeshift Dagger Macbeth sees before him, besides this the eternal crime Macbeth had create could not be washed from his hands even though Macbeth had washed them in reality, but within his mind he cannot wash his hands from the filthy murder Macbeth had created a monster out of himself by a simple massacre of King Duncan. With just a typical murder can lead to a wide spread of fear and chaos among the royal court and Macbeth’s sanity. By doing this one evil intention makes Macbeth the Wicked Evil King.
Paragraph Three: As an Evil Intention, Macbeth would have to commit to a psychotic way of living, by murdering King Duncan it creates more ambition, it would feel like demons were whispering lies and dark desires into Macbeth’s ears. This shows us (Audience) that anyone can become on such an evil array of sins.
But as the two were talking, Macduff had said something interesting that caught my attention. “No, cousin, I’ll to Fife.” Every sentence, every word always has a meaning to it, this one means that Macduff distrusts Macbeth: He smells out that Macbeth may have had inside help to commit this murder, he also has the feeling that he was connected to the murder of Duncan and does NOT support the New King which is Macbeth.
As Macbeth’s reign continues sinful and without any happiness left inside, Macbeth continues to rule with a Darkened Hand, a cursed way to live with especially with no soul or heart, it just becomes unnatural for someone as loyal as Macbeth to become as Wicked as the Devil himself.
You’re working towards a clear structure in your piece, and you make some interesting and valid observations.
Advice for development:
1) Your intro contains some very strong ideas about Shakespeare’s purpose in writing Macbeth. The formality of your language is moving in the right direction, however there are times when the sentence structure lapses, and there are times when your ideas don’t make sense. You’re encouraged to read your writing aloud, slowly, to yourself to try to uncover some of these grammatical and semantic inconsistencies.
2) If you can bring your ideas to clarity, the next step is to include some of the more advanced writing effects we’ve discussed, such as the construction of your own metaphors.
The task outline also provides helpful advice, especially via the annotated essay exemplar, which will assist you to see how to put the structure of the essay together as well as to understand the kind of advanced writing effects are helpful in essays such as this one.
3) In your body paragraphs, ensure that you deliberately explain the impact of the language effects that you’re exploring. Name the language effect and explain how Shakespeare’s use of it strengthens his ideas.
4) Sometimes you’re mis-labelling things. Some of the elements that you’re calling ideas are actually devices that Shakespeare uses to convey his ideas. Each paragraph should explore how one device reinforces one idea.
5) Currently you’re offering valid quotes but not always fully exploring the effect of the language feature on bringing Shakespeare’s ideas to the surface.
For more information about how to construct paragraphs that examine language effects, remember you can refer to the exemplars and guides published on the class website
6) Pay close attention to some of your more obscure words, there are a couple of occasions where you’re using an incorrect word to express your ideas. Where you’re in doubt, go with words you’re secure using. Sometimes your sentences are also missing a word or two.
7) Your conclusion will be crucial to this piece. Do what you can both to summarise the main ideas you’ve explained in your essay and also to challenge your reader to think more deeply about the world they live in on the basis of the insights you’ve offered.
Nice going!
