Macbeth press release (continued)

Macbeth Characters:

Macbeth: Macbeth is a Scottish general and the thane of Glamis who is led to wicked thoughts. Because he lacks the skills necessary to rule without being a tyrant, his response to every problem is violence and murder. Deeply in love with Lady Macbeth despite her ruthless nature.

The Three Witches: they resemble the mythological Fates, who impersonally weave the threads of human destiny. They clearly take a perverse delight in using their knowledge of the future to toy with and destroy human beings.

 Banquo: brave, noble general.  Like Macbeth, Banquo thinks ambitious thoughts, but he does not translate those thoughts into action.

King Duncan: the model of a virtuous, benevolent, and farsighted ruler.

Macduff: A Scottish nobleman hostile to Macbeth’s kingship from the start.

 Malcolm: son of Duncan, Malcolm becomes a serious challenge to Macbeth Prior to this, he appears weak and uncertain of his own power,

Hecate -  The goddess of witchcraft, who helps the three witches work their mischief on Macbeth.

Fleance -  Banquo’s son, who survives Macbeth’s attempt to murder him. At the end of the play, Fleance’s whereabouts are unknown. Presumably, he may come to rule Scotland, fulfilling the witches’ prophecy that Banquo’s sons will sit on the Scottish throne.

 Lennox -  A Scottish nobleman.

 Ross -  A Scottish nobleman.

 Porter -  The drunken doorman of Macbeth’s castle.

Lady Macduff -  Macduff’s wife.. She and her home serve as contrasts to Lady Macbeth and the hellish world of Inverness.
