    1. Nobility, in a sense, means anyone who is from a noble family or has a character that possesses noble traits. Although he becomes mad later, Macbeth was a fine noble.
    2. I'd say that he is more of a flawed character. Not only did he let his ambition get to him, but he allowed himself to doubt his actions leading him to experience the hallucinations. He also trusted shady witches and was easily persuaded by his wife to commit murder.

  2. 1You have Nobility if u come from a royal family. Say if your dad is the king the your noble because your the son and your a prince.

    2Macbeth is more of a tragic hero. We read about Macbeth's rise of power and then downfall which was death.

  3. 1. Nobility is greedy. Mostly they want to gain more power and wealth instead of insisting kindness. Because they keep long time in superior, they don't want to lost it even willing to do everything for it. Like the Macbeth obey witches anticipation, kill the king for clown.
    2. Personally, I think his character is flawed. Over-want for power make him across the line which control by kindness. Even he gain his clown, his hands are dropped by blood.

  4. 1. Nobility means a person who is from a noble family or someone who posses noble traits. Macbeth is a noble character from a noble family.
    2. Tragic hero because Macbeth wanted to be king, he was rising up to have so much power, but he has cheated his way to become king which isn't the right thing to do, and he's being destroyed slowly in the inside.
