Does Macbeth make a wise decision in killing King Duncan in the play Macbeth?

he made the decision on impulse with the greed for power and control. and after that it actually haunted him so for him it wasn't a really well thought out decision which partly led to his own downfall. so nope... not wise.

whether or not Hamlet should be king. Since claudius took the throne, Hamlet should be the king- not claudius!

1. At the end of which Act...? Act III? Romeo of course does not wish to leave Verona, but he must in order to survive. Both are miserably unhappy. As Juliet learns she must be wed to Paris, she becomes angry and rebels against her father. In the end, she feels like everyone has turned on her--even the Nurse. She goes to seek help from the only person she trusts--Friar Lawrence. Not sure that this answers your question, though.\n\n2. Romeo feels responsible for Mercutio's death because Mercutio was stabbed under his arm (Act III, Scene i). He was trying to prevent Mercutio and Tybalt from fighting, as he has recently married Juliet (Tybalt's cousin). His guilt and rage over this accident lead him to attack and kill Tybalt, which ultimately leads to his banishment from Verona.\n\n3. Shakespeare uses the images of darkness and light quite frequently. When Romeo first meets Juliet, he compares her to a star in the sky or a jewel in the ear of an African (Act I, Scene v). He also compares her to a dove amidst crows. Later, on the balcony, he compares her to the sun (Act II, Scene ii). Juliet hopes that when Romeo dies, he will become the stars in the sky, so that "all the world will fall in love with night." (not sure of the exact spot but I think it's Act III, Scene ii).

You have to be specific about the part you're not understanding. The most important part of this scene is Hal's soliloquy at the very end. It's written in blank verse showing us that Hal is capable of kingly qualities. (In the entire play, the royalty etc. talk in blank verse while the tavern people talk in prose. Hal had also been talking in prose with his friends right before this soliloquy). The soliloquy shows us his Machiavellian traits - he's capable of manipulation and knows exactly what he wants to achieve by hanging out with Falstaff etc. In the soliloquy, he also uses metaphors like sun and clouds which further show us that he is capable of becoming the king. I can give further explanations if you tell me what exactly you are having trouble with.

Since this is based on Shakespear's "Julius Caesar," I am guessing, talk about the development on how Brutus changed from trusting Caesar to eventually stabbing him in the back. It would be important to talk about Cassius in the sense that he persuaded Brutus slowly but successfully. Go over the importance of the relationship between Brutus, Cassius, and Caesar and how they changed throughout the play.\n\nThat's what I get from it at least.

There may or may not be objects connected to Macduff as leitmotifs. However, he is crucial to Macbeth's downfall. The Weird Sisters foretell Macbeth that he will not be defeated by anyone born by woman. This makes Macbeth overconfident and feel invincible. When in the final showdown the two protagonists meet and Macbeth tells his adversary that he cannot be defeated, Macduff tauntingly tells him that he has been born through Caeserean section. Hence, the witches have given Macbeth a piece of ambiguity meant to lead him towards his downfall.

Well I honsetly think that you should read Romeo and Juilet. It is one of the best from Shakespear. I know that sometimes Shakespear is hard to read because it is in old english, but I have become good at deicphering Shakespear so...\n1. In act 3, the tension between the 2 familes comes to a climax. Romeo and Tybalt fight and Tybalt and Mercutio die. \n2. Romeo tires to ignore Tybalt because he doesnt want to be in trouble. Ironically, thats what happens. Also he doesnt want to disgrace Juliet. \n3. Romeo is angry about the fight because first, he killed Tyablt and he is banished from the city. That means he will never see his beloved Juliet again. \n4. The nurse is cruel to Juliet because she wants her to get over Romeo and his departure. The nurse always knew what would happen if Romeo and Juliet were to marry.\n5. Well the nurse and the friar arrange to have Romeo sneak into Juliets room for one last night together. \n6. Juliet believes that Romeo will die\n7. Lady Capulet says that she needs to continue to mourn her cousins death, although that is not what she is really mourning. Lady Capulet also thinks that Juliet needs to move on with life.\n8. Romeos departure\n9. I dont know that reason. \n10. Juliet is devistated and does not want to marry. She refuses to and her father disowns her. \n11. To go to Friar Lawernce and figure out a plan\n12. To drink potion that would make her sleep deelpy and long enough to convince people that she is dead. Once she is placed in the tomb, she will run to whereever Romeo is staying.

No, as far as I know, but I haven't read the entire Bible yet.  It does say; however, that David used to play his harp for King Saul, and that it often soothed him and calmed him down.  Later, Saul became jealous of David and tried to kill him on numerous occasions.  How's that for gratitude?

Thank you! I totally agree! I am all for it. If you kill someone you have already ruined a families lives forever, the least they can get is to know that you can't hurt another family. Wait, is this Paul or the Italian friend that asked?

he's the only thane who doubted macbeth from the very beginning.\nhe showed courage and loyalty to his country because he did not live behind any pretenses.\nhe had a feeling that macbeth "played most fouly" [banquo] for the title of king, and acted to correct it.\nhe went to england to call on malcolm and for help though he knew that this would bring him further into macbeth's bad side.\nhe did not wish to settle for a virtue-less malcolm when the rightful heir was testing him.\nhe was not afraid to show his emotions when ross informed him of the murder of his family.\nhe was also the one who was eventually able to kill macbeth [because he was delivered prematurely into the world through c-section, and was therefore not born of a woman].\n\none mistake i think he made, however, was that he left his family without protection and without telling them where he was going or the purpose behind it. i don't get why he did this.

in this play,the mob were prbably fickle minded.they cud be easily instigated by anyone at any moment like brutus jusified    killing caesar.they easily believed him & the very next moment they were aroused against brutus by antony.it was the mob who were ultimately responsible 4 the downfall of brutus and cassius and hence is there significance.

rat poison can take a long time to kill if you are planning to have your character suffer for a while... especially if the dosing is not quite right. it is also readily available.

It's about the greater good and it could be applied to most things. Would it better to kill one person or let many more die? Would you then be responsible for their others death if you did nothing? And would you be able to live with the guilt thereafter if you did nothing? But if it came to a choice of killing one person of them killing my loved ones then i would certainly kill that one person. However, i could not hoestly answer if it was unknown people about to be killed. I would like to think i could but, in reality, would I and would anyone else?
