MacBeth Act 2

Human vs. Human would be the primary conflicts in the play, as Macbeth seeks to become king by assassinating Duncan, the previous king.

Person vs. self would be a secondary struggle as a result of Macbeth's extreme reluctance to interact with the witches following their prophecy.

Act 1's central topic is fate since the play's events are initiated by the witches' prophecy, and the three witches are symbolic of the three fates found in Greek mythology. (provide a fresh theme based on SC 7)

Act 1's morality of ambition is one of the key themes when, in scene 7, Macbeth considers killing Duncan after evaluating him and coming to the conclusion that he is a great and honorable man, yet he still decides to kill him rather than follow his desire to become king.

The play takes place in Scotland during the Middle Ages. Scene 2 takes place in the night time in Macbeth's Castle in Inverness.

We can tell it is the middle ages due to the language of the characters.

The main character, Macbeth, is described as a very skilled warrior but also tremendously ambitious, which would drive him to assassinate Duncan in order to succeed him as King of Scotland.

Lady Macbeth is shown as being extremely cunning and ambitious because she allays his fears of being discovered and shows Duncan kindness even while she is hatching a murderous scheme.

Act 1 portrays Banquo as a good friend who has Macbeth's "best interests" in mind by warning him about the witches, and as someone who is very restrained in his ambition due to his curiosity in the witches' prophecy.
