  • Essay / Impairment of Judgment in William Shakespeare's Macbet

    Macbeth's judgment is not only impaired by the prophecies of the three witches, but also by the corrupt ambition of his wife. As time progressed before Duncan's murder, the idea of ​​senselessly killing his own king persisted in Macbeth's mind. The only logical solution in his mind is to wait for the prophecies to come true instead of rushing them unnaturally; Lady Macbeth shoots down this idea of ​​patience. She questions Macbeth's manhood and makes him think that the only way to achieve dominance is to murder his royal leader, Duncan. After killing Duncan, Macbeth believes that the only way to secure the throne is to eliminate Banquo, Macbeth's right-hand man. Macbeth then ignores Lady Macbeth and begins making rash and psychotic decisions of his own that ultimately bring him down. Lady Macbeth walks in her sleep and confesses all her crimes.
