Meet Macbeth

1. Macbeth was  introduced through indirect characterization by this quote, " for brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name-- disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, which smoked with bloody execution."
2. "Fair is foul and foul is fair"- the quote sets the story in a dark and evil mood and foreshadows something bad to happen
3. Shakespeare gives hints through exposition of who the the characters are, he uses indirect characterization to give an idea of how to expect a character. Along with that idea that Macbeth will have a rise to power.
4. In the beginning Macbeth was praised by those around him so we get this idea of how our protagonist is going to be, yet with lady Macbeth  always seems to be downcasting. Shift in power and maybe some disappointment because Macbeth doesn't protect himself from last Macbeth.
5. I feel that a theme that will be carried out throughout the story will be the struggle for power, and not only am I referring to Macbeth becoming king, but also with the relationship between lady Macbeth and Macbeth.
