Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I need help writing a essay on Macbeth....plz give me some tips!

Yes

I don't know what your essay is on but if the topic is fairly general a good beginning would be on the duality of human nature and how Shakespear has managed to explore these concepts in his play. Mary Wollencraft said that "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seek" Is this Macbeth?

Then give a break down of the play.

Another concept to explore is the relationship between metaphysics and the nature of evil. The author Joseph Conrad said that " The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness". This is core theme of Macbeth. Who is reponsible for this tradegy - the witches, who may or may not be supernatural beings, Lady Macbeth or Macbeth himself?
