macbeth the monster

Macbeth is no longer the person he used to be. Now he is a murderer and a tyrant. He lives with paranoia ,and tries to fight fate. In the beginning of the book, Macbeth was presented to us as this valiant and praised soldieR he was "brave Macbeth"(p9). Now he is this horrible man, who is close to being a monster. He is ready to destroy anybody and anyone that will get in his way. Many people fell victim to Macbeth ambition. His first victim was Duncan " Duncan have i murdered"(p85) . Macbeth has killed Duncan in his sleep "Macbeth[ he ] has murder sleep"( 57. Macbeth has a hard time dealing with what he has done to Duncan. His state of mind is not stable he is afraid because he could no longer" pronounce amen" and could "sleep no more"(p57). This guilt does not stop his awaken ambition. Now that he has tasted blood he could no longer stop himself from tasting more. We sense that not only Macbeth ambition has been awaken, but also the monster within him. Macbeth reminds us of the creature in Frankenstein. He was seen by the reader as a creature until he killed William . The creature became a monster when he felt for the first time powerful. Macbeth is now feeling that way. He is feeling powerful: therefor, nothing could stop him not even fate. In order to stop fate he goes as far as having his best friend Banquo killed. Macbeth hits rock bottom when he orders the Macduff family killed. He plans to destroy Macduff's" wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line"(p131). At this stage of the play, the reader feels no sympathy for Macbeth ,but instead sees him as a monster. Macbeth is a monster that is blinded by his ambition and will go as far as bring chaos upon the world.
