1. Macbeth Presentation
By Mia Parco
Period 3

2. Theme
In the play The Tragedy of Macbeth
written by William Shakespeare, The
continuous theme of “fair is foul” is
woven throughout the story, delivering
the point that with everything good that
comes, something bad arrives as well.

3. Thou Shall Get
Kings
•Macbeth and Banquo run
into the 3 witches who give
the men prophecies.
Macbeth was to be the
Thane of Cawdor as well as
not
the King. Banquo will
become a king like Macbeth
will.

4. However, He is be
blessed with
descendants
who will be
Kings.

5. “Thou shalt get kings,
though thou shall be
none” (1-3-3-68)

6. So even though
Banquo is not
fortunate enough to
be granted such a
glorious future for
himself as Macbeth
endless
is, his
line of descendants
are destined for
such.

7. Thane of
CAWDO
R
•As war rages on, swords
clash and blood is shed.
The blood of one particular
man is shed. That man was
the Thane of Cawdor.

8. The Thane is
•
killed by none
other than Macbeth,
thus Macbeth earns
the honorable title
as Thane of Cawdor,
Just as the 3 witches prophesized...

9. “No more that Thane of
Cawdor shall deceive our
bosom interest: Go
pronounce his present
death, and with his
former title greet
Macbeth” (1-2-3-63-65)

10. UNSEX ME
HERE!
Lady Macbeth was
never the
traditional female role.
She is neither helpless
nor weak.

11. In fact, She is
more
dominant
Than Macbeth.

12. She may “Look like th' innocent flower,
But [She is]the serpent under ’t” (1-5-3-
56-57)

13. So in reality, Lady Macbeth looks beautiful on the
outside, but is evil deep within.
“…I would while, [the baby] was smiling in my face,
haveplucked the nipple from his boneless
gums and bashed the brains out, had I so
sworn as you have done to this” 1-7-2-56-59

14. The three Characters
mentioned all have
done, or been
blessed with,
something
bad or good.

15. In a bittersweet exchange
to that something, they are
given itsopposite . Be
it direct or indirect, these
exchanges cause the
characters’ downfall
in the end.

16. THE END
