“Macbeth's deed is done in horror, and without the faintest desire or sense of glory- done, one may almost say, as if it were an appalling duty; the instant it is finished, its futility is revealed to Macbeth as clearly as its vileness had been revealed beforehand” IfsMayDoneDesireDutyHorrorGloryDeedsFinishedInstantFutility Author:A.

“If we are to include the outer and the inner struggle in a conception more definite than that of conflict in general, we must employ some such phrase as 'spiritual force.' This will mean whatever forces act in the human spirit, whether good or evil, whether personal passion or impersonal principle; doubts, desires, scruples, ideas-whatever can animate, shake, possess, and drive a man's soul. [19]In a Shakespearean tragedy some such forces are shown in conflict.” IfsMenHumansMeanIdeasSoulSpiritualSpiritDesirePassionEvilForcePrinciplesStruggleDoubtConflictTragedyPhrasesShakesConceptionDefiniteHuman SpiritScruplesInner StruggleShakespearean Tragedy Book:Shakespearean Tragedy Source: Shakespearean Tragedy
