These questions are based on the novel Macbeth by William Shakespeare. These answers need to be completely high level answers. Make sure to use actual textual evidence with citations. I prefer about half a page typed ( Times New Roman, Font 12) for every question. Also make sure it has lots of supporting evidence with structure. This must be turned-in in 3 hours.

1. In the end who is most responsible for Macbeth’s demise? The witches? Lady Macbeth? Macduff? Himself?

2. Since the definition of a “tragedy” is that the main character/protagonist dies because of a tragic flaw, what would that tragic flaw be and how is it acquired?

3. What does Banquo symbolize?

4. Was Lady Macbeth justified in making the decisions she did? What reasons were there besides greed that drove her to become so power-hungry? Was her madness believable to you?
