Meet Macbeth
Macbeth is introduced through indirect characterization. The witches provide foreshadowing of the whole play with the quote "Fair is foul, and foul is fair." Shakespeare's approach to exposition give the reader background information about the setting and characters and a sense of what's to come without spoiling the play by the witches saying Macbeth is going to move up and the people who positions he is taking are going to die as the play develops. Shakespeare writes Macbeth like a highly liked important person but will hit a downfall and become disliked. Violence is a clear theme in the story through Macbeth's character and conflict. I predict a lot of blood shed and death. Everyone is going to die, similar to Hamlet.
