Soliloquies from Shakespeare's MacbethAlthough people in retributive justice experience satisfaction, the offender may also suffer. William Shakespeare's powerful Macbeth shows the deterioration of an honorable and respectable general, Macbeth, who becomes a tragic hero after the witches and his wife's temptations to commit murder. Macbeth's soliloquies allow the audience to experience the conflict within Macbeth and thus understand the reasons for his behavior and decisions. As a result, Macbeth's tremendous reversal of fortunes ultimately leaves the audience filled not with pity, but with amazement, at the knowledge that people can suffer greatly. Macbeth's soliloquies before Duncan's murder show the vigorous internal struggle of himself, as is his conscience. fighting against his evil minds. Furthermore, they show that Macbeth brought his own downfall upon himself. The audience will therefore feel pity for Macbeth's deterioration brought about by himself when they witness his choice to follow evil. Macbeth is a brave and honorable general in Scotland. His success in the battle against the invaders of Scotland earns him the respect of King Duncan and his fellow soldiers. However, demonic forces, symbolized by three witches, tempt Macbeth. The witches hail Macbeth as the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor who will be king and hail Banquo, who is a Scottish nobleman and friend of Macbeth, as someone who will become the father of a line of kings. Macbeth's ambition deep in his heart begins to grow at that moment. In Act I, scene iii, when Macbeth reflects on the fulfillment of the two prophecies first given by the witches, "My thought, whose murder is yet but fantastic, shakes my only state of man" (I, iii, 139 -140) In this soliloquy Macbeth reflects his idea on the "two truths" told by the witches. He is ambitious to become king, as he reacts nervously when the witches mention his fate. The very idea of ​​murder "shakes the unique condition of man." However, at this point, he is loyal to the king and rejects the idea of ​​murder: "If chance wants me king, well, chance can crown me, without my being accused." (I, iii, 143-144) the witches' predictions may have strengthened criminal intentions that he had probably never dared to express clearly, not even to himself. He is not allied with crime, he is neutral, but obviously temptation is working on him.
