3) Pick one character from the first act and write a "Character Profile" of that character. Tell us what you know about them, what you think will be their role in the play, and what you think about them as a character. Do you like them? Identify with them? Do they teach us a anything?

In the first Act of Macbeth we aren’t introduced to many characters. But one that stood out to me was Macbeth himself. He stood out to me for many reasons. One of being he is the main character. Macbeth comes off as someone who will believe anything. I think this because of what the witches had told him, he believed right away without having to even hear that much from them. From what I know of Macbeth, he plays a huge role in the play. Matter a fact he is the main role, along with his wife. Macbeth kind of comes off as into himself kind of guy because when he’s told he will become King of Scotland he gets really into it and asks them more about it. As a character, I also don’t like him that much because he does seem like a jerk and will do anything that requires him becoming better than anyone else. From experience of reading the book, I learn that Macbeth teaches us to never trust anyone. Even if they are close to you and if you consider them to be your best friend or something like that, that you never know when someone might turn on you because Macbeth does something like that later on in the book to someone he is considered to be very close with. He also teaches us that people can be easily seduced by greed and selfishness. But again, we learn that later on in the book.
