I forgot to include these last statements. Thank you.

1) Macduff confesses to Macbeth that he was torn from his mother's womb by a surgeon before he was due to be born.
2) Macbeth believes that the witches played (have played?) with him since their messages were intended to deceive him into having false hopes.
3) However, he refused to surrender because he didn't want to be mocked by everyone.
4) Macduff kills Macbeth, carrying Macbeth's head and proclaiming Malcolm king of Scotland.
5) The first castles in Scotland were introduced by King David I of Scotland (1083-1153), who was the youngest son of Malcolm III, the son of Duncan in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There were no castles in Scotland at the time of the historical Macbeth.

They look ok.

You still need to develop some self-confidence in your writing.

What are your SPECIFIC questions about any of these sentences??

No problem! Here are the revised statements you provided:

1) Macduff confesses to Macbeth that he was torn from his mother's womb by a surgeon before he was due to be born.

To verify this statement, you can refer to Act 5, Scene 8 of Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." In this scene, Macduff and Macbeth engage in a tense confrontation, during which Macduff reveals that he was "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb. This implies that he was born via caesarean section rather than through the natural birth process.

2) Macbeth believes that the witches played (have played?) with him since their messages were intended to deceive him into having false hopes.

To confirm this statement, you can look at Act 5, Scene 8 of "Macbeth." In this scene, Macbeth realizes that the witches' prophecies have been misleading and deceptive. He expresses his distrust of their predictions and acknowledges that they have manipulated him by giving him false hope.

3) However, he refused to surrender because he didn't want to be mocked by everyone.

To support this statement, you can refer to Act 5, Scene 8 of "Macbeth." In this scene, Macbeth declares that he will not surrender even though he knows his death is imminent. He refuses to surrender because he doesn't want to be humiliated or mocked by his enemies and desires to maintain his dignity until the very end.

4) Macduff kills Macbeth, carrying Macbeth's head and proclaiming Malcolm king of Scotland.

To confirm this statement, you can look at Act 5, Scene 8 of "Macbeth." In this final scene, Macduff confronts and kills Macbeth, who has been the play's tragic protagonist. Afterward, Macduff carries Macbeth's severed head and presents it to Malcolm, proclaiming him the new king of Scotland.

5) The first castles in Scotland were introduced by King David I of Scotland (1083-1153), who was the youngest son of Malcolm III, the son of Duncan in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There were no castles in Scotland at the time of the historical Macbeth.

To verify this statement, you can consult historical records and sources about Scottish history. It is well-documented that King David I of Scotland played a significant role in introducing the concept of castles to Scotland during his reign. Prior to his rule, Scotland did not have any stone fortifications resembling what we commonly associate with castles. This historical fact stands in contrast to the depiction of castles in Shakespeare's play, "Macbeth," which takes place during the 11th century.
