Starting with this speech, explore how far Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a violent character. Write about: • how Shakespeare presents Macbeth in this extract • how far Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a violent character in the play as a whole. [30 Marks] In this extract from Act 1 Scene 2 of Macbeth, Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a violent character through the Captain’s description of his actions in battle. The Captain describes Macbeth’s ruthlessness and bravery, highlighting his willingness to engage in violence and his skill in executing his enemies. Shakespeare effectively conveys Macbeth’s violent nature through the use of vivid imagery, powerful language choices, and the development of his character throughout the play. In this extract, Macbeth is depicted as a merciless and skilled warrior. The Captain describes Macbeth as “disdaining Fortune” and brandishing his steel with “bloody execution.” The use of the word “disdaining” suggests that Macbeth has a contemptuous disregard for his opponents and is willing to engage in violent acts without hesitation. The imagery of his sword “smoking” with bloody execution emphasizes the intensity and brutality of Macbeth’s actions. Furthermore, the description of Macbeth carving out his passage and beheading his enemy demonstrates his proficiency in violence and his ability to achieve his goals through force. Throughout the play, Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a character who becomes increasingly consumed by violence. Initially, Macbeth is portrayed as a loyal and honourable warrior, as seen in his victory over Macdonald. However, his encounter with the witches and the prophecies they deliver ignite a desire for power that leads him down a dark path. Macbeth’s ambition and the influence of Lady Macbeth drive him to commit heinous acts, including the murder of… For more go to our GLA Tutors’ blog page https://lnkd.in/eP47twxi Link in the bio. #Tutoring #Education #Learning #OnlineLearning #TutorLife #Study #StudyTips #AcademicSupport #HomeworkHelp #ExamPreparation #TestPreparation

"To add note to a connection request or note to add note, that is the question..." Shakespeare's book "Othell-no: Overcoming Rejection in Sales" Answer: Don't do it Without note wins hands down! 🏆 For those not familiar with Shakespeare's lesser known work, this has been a debate for as long as I've been using Linkedin. After reading his work I was inspired to test his theory, should I not send a note with a connection request? Here are the stats: With note.... Sent: 300 Connected: 182 Conversion: 60.6% Side note(This took an absolute age to do) Without note: Sent: 1879 Connected: 1322 Conversion: 70.3% Side note(A lot less effort) These stats are from the last 6 months on my account, I haven't withdrawn the invites, the with note experiment happened first(sending roughly 100 a month).

Here’s why successful authors will continue winning. (At least in my opinion) It’s because… They know who they are writing for. Including: -Their age -Their interests -Their challenges -Their emotions -Their dreams By understanding these details, they come up with stories their audience can truly relate to.

3 Things I Learned from Shakespeare’s Novels I am huge fan of Shakespearean novels (especially Othello) As a professional constantly seeking inspiration, here are five invaluable lessons I've gleaned from “The Bard of Avon” himself - "Brevity is the soul of wit"  - Communication is key "To thine own self be true"  - Genuine leadership and personal branding resonate more than following trends "All the world's a stage"  - Like actors changing roles, you must adapt to new challenges Shakespeare's works shows that there's always more to discover. Stay curious and keep growing. That’s all for now. See you tomorrow! P.S - Which Shakespeare novel you love reading? #30dayshustlechallenge
