The yin yang circle resembles two complete opposites and shows that they connect and support each other, in the same way that Macbeth's actions showed both the virtuous and combined villains in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. . Although Macbeth is presented as greedy, wicked, and cold-blooded, none of his actions should be blamed on him. Many negative factors contribute to creating his bad actions, such as his ambitious wife and his desire for recognition and power in which he is influenced. In the dark room of his guided treacherous deeds, a candlelight shines of his loyalty and the value of friendship, of his rectitude and hesitation to wave to his influentials. Macbeth is surprisingly not the villain he is generally considered to be. Rather, he is the helpless puppet of his masters. Macbeth is initially presented as a rational, well-thought-out man of conscience, believing in the judgment of God. He earned an envious reputation as a courageous and loyal soldier and valued success. Motivated by honor and glory, he fights in the service of King Duncan and is praised: For brave Macbeth, well, he deserves that name, Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, Who smoked with bloody execution, Like a valiant servant who has traced his path. . (1.2, 2) Macbeth thrives on the rewards of success because it satisfies him with new titles, fame, and royal favor. He seeks to please without malicious intent and attracts the attention of many. Although he wishes people to admire him and potentially desires power, his independent self never shows ideas of heinous methods to achieve such desires. He highlights his noble actions to the king: “The service and loyalty that I owe / By doing it, I pay myself. " (1.4, 10) Macbeth, unhindered, finds himself doing this...... middle of paper ...... throughout the house: / 'Glamis murdered sleep, and so Cawdor / Shall sleep no more: Macbeth shall sleep no more.' » (2.2, 23) Although he has killed countless people during the war, horrors fill Macbeth when he kills King Duncan. Macbeth was truly unwilling to kill and only did so in spite of Lady Macbeth. The murder certainly would not have happened without Lady Macbeth. In conclusion, Macbeth was not independently guilty. Rather, he was controlled by Lady Macbeth's emotional manipulations. He is a loyal hero, with high morale, soiled and corrupted by his wife. The scope of Lady Macbeth's goals helps Macbeth's actions, and her goals are achieved through Macbeth's actions, identical to the white and black yin yang symbol. If Lady Macbeth hadn't been convincing, Macbeth would still be a highly respected and loyal soldier instead of ending his life..
