IKR all they talk about is ambition

My notes if it helps anyone :) Gunpowder plot - After queen elizabeth 1 died she left no heirs to the throne allowing James the king of scotland to assume power. Macbeth uses regicide to how ambition will always result in downfall like the failure of the gunpowder plot or the death of Macbeth because divine justice will always punish arrogance due to the divine right of kings and the great chain of being. Banquo was supposedly an ancestor of James and characterizes him as honorable and good hearted to confirm the nobility of James bloodline. The witches prophecy Banquo’s descendants will be kings, some carrying ‘double scepters’ (rule two countries). Shakespear is alluding to James’ accession to the throne by asserting him into the play he positions James as part of the force of good that triumphs Macbeth's tyranny. Great chain of being - influential renaissance idea that believed in a sacred order of hierarchy in which God at the top and the king below serving as his lieutenant and below the people who had to serve the king. This maintains order and without this the world plunged into chaos until the forces of good can restore the hierarchy. Shakespeare was writing in two paradigms (societies way of thinking) religion had dominated the middle ages but the renaissance brought new ideas such as humanism which taught to embrace the power of the individuel. So Shakespeare explores both the religious paradigm characterised by superstition and determinism (everyone's life was determined by fate) and the renaissance with humanism (people can control their life to create their own destinies). Witches prophecies, heaven and hell and witchcraft and that Macbeth's fate is locked in were all key themes of the religious middle ages. King James was obsessed with witches so his inclusion of symbols of old world superstition was used to indulge his fascinations. Shakespeare leaves it open to interpretation if the hallucinations who's hiding from the fact its his own black and deep desires that are driving his actions not a supernatural force reflecting humanists belief in free will and also shown in his apparent loss of faith in an after life at the end reflecting the growing doubt of religious belief during the renaissance period. The thematic exploration between fate and free will reflects the friction between Christian tradition and early renaissance humanism.
