The 12 Stages of Macbeth
visiting the witches; facing his greatest threat (himself)
approaching the innermost cave
killing Duncan; the point of no return
crossing the first threshold
inner conflict (guilt); killing guards, Banquo, Lady Macduff and her son
tests, allies, and enemies
meeting the witches who tell Macbeth a prophecy; they change his thinking, sparking his quest for the crown
the call to adventure
Lady Macbeth presents her bulletproof plan to kill Duncan; she trains Macbeth to be a killer
the meeting w the mentor
determining his course of action
the ordeal
Macbeth during the battle; he's just a regular soldier
the ordinary world
Lady Macbeth pressures Macbeth into killing Duncan; he dismisses the thought and refuses to go along with her plan
the refusal of the call
learns the truth about the witches; he fights even though he knows he will be defeated- showing that he's still courageous like in the ordinary world
the resurrection
accepting his flaws and the fact that he'll die; moment of clarity
the return w the elixir
the crown; "invincibility"
the reward
going in to battle with Malcolm and Macduff
the road back
