MacBeth

I have enjoyed the rather violent and cruel nature of MacBeth through the beggining acts in the play. The violence begins so early in the play that it grabs my attention and surprisingly I have not wanted to remove my eyes from the script. Alongside the violence there is also cruelty to an unexpected level for example the fact that his wife wants to use her husband to get to a level of power beyond what any man or women could dream of at night. Lady Macbeth is the most cruel and above all else in my opinion the least expected to be the "bad guy" in essence but her actions and thoughts through the first act has established as just that. Although this is not the first time this layout has been used for example in the movie for Beowulf the monster's mother uses her beauty to seduce and use Beowulf. The layout I am suggesting is that the vulnerable Hero is seduced be a warry and attractive woman and used for a gain in some way for the female.
