A friend brought to my attention that their facts page has the climax of the story in an unexpected place. The plot structure listings are odd to me. What do you think? So the climax of the play is in Act II… and then there are three acts of falling action?
Macbeth has thus not fully gained what he was striving for. Distracted by fears and hallucinations, he loses III, iv his self-control; and at this point we know he is doomed.
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. The falling action runs with little interruption from the banquet to the end of the play. Characters that in the first scenes were kept in the background, now come to the front, — Malcolm and Macduff, in whom is embodied the retribution. One of the most noticeable things about the falling action in Macbeth is Shakespeare's careful preparation for it.
Many a drama and many a novel have been utterly spoiled by improbable or impossible occurrences. But says Schiller, "A dexterous use of accident in art, as well as in life, often brings about what is excellent. Macbeth murders Duncan. What more natural than that Malcolm should flee to England for protection and aid? Banquo is killed. What more natural than that one of the murderers in his fright should put out the torch, and that Fleance, from whom is to proceed a line of kings, should conceal himself in the darkness?
The first accident prepares the way for the English invasion; the second frustrates all of Macbeth's plans for holding the throne. The one works outwardly: the other inwardly and psychologically; and both together make for Macbeth's ruin. The catastrophe is the tragic end. Macbeth , like Romeo and Juliet , has a double catastrophe, — the death of Lady Macbeth and the fall of Macbeth. In the former case there is no violence. The woman who planned the murder of Duncan, breaks down under the strain of remorse, walks in her sleep, and dies.
Macbeth falls in mortal combat with Macduff, the man whom he has most nearly wronged. The drama has now played itself nearly out. Malcolm is proclaimed king, and Scotland is once more in repose. The structure thus outlined may be represented by diagram : — Notes 1 And yet this is not true of every detail.
What scenes or parts of scenes contribute nothing to the action? Why, then, are they introduced? They will also appear in Google search results.
