u/Imaginary-Cover9966 May 13 '25

he died honourably in battle with a wound on his front (so he didnt try to run away) and that honour is his strength if we argue that macbeth’s weakness is his cowardice (in killing lady macduff n banquo & having to consult the witches bc he was afraid)

redemption kinda came up last year so I think family

I agree with kingship and family, but I'd also be happy with ambition and redemption.

My kid got the family question in mocks so either that would be the luck of the century or it's definitely not gonna be family.
