MEET MACBETH

Macbeth was introduced through indirect characterization. They never really outwardly said what Macbeth was like. "For brave Macbeth, well he deserves that name destaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, which smoked with bloody execution. "The witches foreshadowed "fair is foul, foul is fair." I don't know much about Macbeth but from what we've read so far I'm assuming anything is fair play in this... play ha. Shakespeare's use of foreshadowing gives the audience a sense of what's to come by using ulterior characters who can slyly use symbolism and foreshadowing to show the story in a less obvious way. Shakespeare's characterization towards Macbeth shows you his character by indirectly stating qualities that other characters state about him, the witches give clear themes to the story, and the audience is left to try and decipher where the story will go without given to much purpose. Macbeth will clearly be the protagonist and show some type of heroic qualities even if the story ends as a tragedy.
