Hello aspirant

Critics praise Macbeth as a tragedy for its unsurpassed insight into human nature and aesthetic excellence. The character of Macbeth confronts us with a unique level of intricacy. Among all of Shakespeare's plays, Macbeth stands out as the one that combines both good and evil at the same time. His goodness comes naturally to him, but so does his terrible yearning to become King. He also receives more evil from other sources and internalises it, ostensibly to fulfil the prophecy but more importantly to satisfy his dream of becoming King. However, as the play develops, we are introduced to the world that Macbeth imagines and constructs for himself depending on what he encounters. He'll be secure for the rest of his life because it's written that he can't be slain by 'any male born of woman,' but fate has a solution in the person of Macduff. The display of enormous courage by Macbeth has been scrutinised by commentators, who consider it both a personal trait and something induced by the circumstances while evaluating the persona of this great Shakespearean anti-hero.
