How is Macbeth presented as a flawed hero in Act One of Macbeth?

This essay needs to be 600-900 words In Act One of the play, Shakespeare presents Macbeth as a flawed hero. To what extent do you agree with this view? · Begin your essay by offering a brief overview which answers the question through making a claim that the rest of your essay will test. · Write 2-4 paragraphs in which you look very closely at key episodes from the first act, analysing them in detail to support/develop your argument. · Consider Shakespeare’s use of language, of the stage (as you imagine it), and of the structure of sentences, speeches and lines. · Briefly conclude your argument – don’t just recap your key points, though.

I can't write your essay for you but I can give you some ideas. Consider that Macbeth was considered a "noble" servant and soldier for King Duncan. The Sergeant had given Duncan a glowing review of Macbeth's exploits in the battlefield. Macbeth however is not content in his role as hero figure. We see this when the witches exploit his insecurities. The mere suggestion of being king stirs Macbeth's imagination and sets him off into the tragic hero we have come to know.
