The Importance of the Last Two Scenes in MacbethThe last two scenes are a very important part of the play. These are the last two scenes of the play in which Macbeth is alive. They are also a very effective part of the room; the audience will have already understood that something is going to happen which will decide the end of the play. This awareness that something is about to happen is made possible by the agitation of the two great armies as they prepare to fight and by Macbeth's eagerness and confidence to win. These scenes remind the audience of Macbeth's true character. At the beginning of the play, he was described as a fierce and courageous warrior. However, as the play developed, the audience began to get the impression that Macbeth was not quite what he was supposed to be. He was seen as a selfish man who got what he wanted by murdering his rivals. This was intentional on the playwright's part, as the entire play focuses on how a man as powerful as the King of Scotland can do anything his "leaping ambition" asks of him. These scenes reiterate the original character of Macbeth. All the scenes leading up to these two scenes moved the plot forward in such a way that scenes seven and eight are able to completely surprise the audience. For example, the supernatural plays a large role in this play and the audience knows that it will have something to do with Macbeth's fate and the outcome of the story. It is this prediction that reminds the audience of what the witches said to Macbeth: "The power of man, for none of the births of woman will harm Macbeth." » These sentences confuse the audience and, as the end of the play approaches, they become interested. to find out what they mean. The seventh scene begins with a short monologue from Macbeth, he says "They have tied me to a stake, I cannot fly, but like a bear I must fight." This tells the audience that Macbeth does not want to fight, and he does not, but it is later revealed that he is very confident of winning. The first man Macbeth fights with is Young Siward. Macbeth soon kills him "for none of the women born will harm Macbeth." The eighth scene follows, with the fight between Macbeth and Macduff..
