Abstract

The present article investigates the reasons of general human behaviors accompanied by their nature and characteristics in Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Macbeth. Shakespeare with a mixture of tragic and comic tones tested everybody with the scale of humanism (humanity) in this play. He poses the story of the struggle of the human spirit out of darkness of errors and sin, into the light of truth and wisdom. He uses Macbeth to show that dark thought and unconscious temptations cause a man who lacks strength of character to do terrible actions. Through various soliloquies of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare transforms them into a reflective analysis of human characteristics and identifies the complexity of the human condition. This play is a deep interpretation of realistic view of psychological, social, and divines human personality in the process of life affairs and the interactions among people with their destinies.
