Topic > Macbeth by William Shakespeare - 985

People everywhere are often in disguise, making it difficult for anyone to identify their true motivations. Therefore, since a person's perspective changes continuously, it can lead to suffering many consequences, such as death. Appearance versus reality is a clever way of playing with one person's point of view on another. In the play Macbeth, William Shakespeare demonstrates the recurring theme that what one thinks is not always obvious at first glance and, as a result, leads one to be deceived by the appearance of others. The characters in the play can experience, cause, and avoid the effects of trusting someone's identity. Appearance constantly hides the reality of things through these important characters. The effects of trust in appearance are seen when King Duncan naively trusts Macbeth. Furthermore, Lady Macbeth shows false images to others around her causing the effect of trusting the identity. Therefore, this is demonstrated by Macduff's suspicion towards Macbeth that the effects of trusting appearance can be avoided. The first situation that shows the effect of reliance on appearance is through King Duncan's insurance of Macbeth. Duncan treats Macbeth with great respect and values ​​him based on his appearance. For example, Duncan says to Macbeth, “O most worthy cousin, the sin of my ingratitude lay upon me even now” (1.4.15-16). This shows how proud Duncan is of Macbeth's accomplishments in the battle, so much so that he even calls him his cousin. He is deceived by venerating Macbeth as a hero. This foreshadows how their relationship will essentially become stronger and stronger because of the way Macbeth presents himself to Duncan. However, by stating this, Duncan does not know that it is already Macbeth who thinks... in the middle of the paper... what is authentic. In conclusion, many of the effects of appearance confidence are caused by the perspectives a person has towards others. When characters judge based on what others show on the outside, without them knowing, the result is to experience the deception they create for themselves. Therefore, it really blinds them to what is happening in reality. In the play, Shakespeare demonstrates that determining a person by what you see can lead to ruin and can lead to making risky choices that could jeopardize what lies ahead in life. Furthermore, they can also create the effect of depending on someone's identity by being someone they are not just for their own benefit. Despite all this, people should not evaluate others based on their outward characteristics, but rather look at their true motivations and intentions so they can prevent repercussions..
