Every society has certain ideas attached to what it means to be “manly” or “womanly.” Shakespeare’s great tragedy Macbeth, the story of a Scottish lord who kills the king in order to become king himself, is no exception. Throughout this play, characters constantly make reference to manhood and the idea of “being a man.”  In Macbeth, manhood is always associated with physical courage and sometimes even with cruelty.

Introduction: Options for Hook Introductions should catch the reader's attention with a hook. Three options below: Begin with something engaging about the topic. Focus on something that would interest readers in reading your essay Begin with a provocative quotation from the play that would connect to the topic of your essay

Writing a Developed and Detailed Conclusion Conclusions are just as important as introductions. The conclusion closes the essay and tries to close the issue. The aim is to convince the reader that your thesis is the best one and the only one that makes sense.

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Shakespeare presents the idea that manliness isn’t limited to men. Throughout the play, both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth demonstrate that manliness clearly reflects physical courage and cruelty. Macbeth’s bold and surreptitious actions in hiring murderers and even fighting to his own death illustrate the manly courage and strength required to be a man as defined by his own society. In the end, Macbeth’s desire to kill and avenge destroys himself leaving the audience to wonder whether or not being a real man has tragic consequences.
