 * Question :** What role do women play in the play Macbeth?


 * Thesis :** In literature, women are often described frail and vulnerable. In Macbeth, however, Shakespeare portrays women as powerful as men, if not more. The women characters in Macbeth, play a significant role in the story of Macbeth. The**y**


 * Support / Theme :**

1. MANIPULATIVE POWER OF WOMEN -LADY MACBETH IS ABLE TO CONTROL MACBETH BY TAUNTING HIM (EX. CALLING HIM COWARD) -WHEN MURDERING DUNCAN -LADY MACBETH ALSO QUESTIONS HIS GENDER -WHEN MACBETH SEES THE GHOST

2. SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES -THE WITCHES MAKE PROPHECIES WHICH BECAME THE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES -MACBETH WILL BECOME THE KING (KILLED DUNCAN) -BANQUO WILL BECOME THE FATHER OF THE KINGS (KILLED BANQUO) -MACDUFF WILL BE AN OBSTACLE TO MACBETH'S THRONE ( KILLED MACDUFF'S FAMILY )

3. REFLECTION OF MEN -LADY MACBETH BASICALLY SOMETIMES REVEALS MACBETH'S TRUE FEELINGS -LADY MACBETH DIRECTLY WANTS MACBETH TO BECOME THE KING, BUT MACBETH IS AMBIVALENT, WHETHER IT IS MORAL OR NOT.
