I thought I heard a voice say “you can sleep no more, Macbeth is murdering sleep”

As Scene 1 opens, Banquo is fearful and suspicious of Macbeth. He suspects him of killing Duncan. Since the witches’ prophecy has come true, Banquo feels that Macbeth has been rotten in his pursuits to be king. The quote, “Thou hast it now---King, Cawdor, Glamis, all/As the Weird Women promised, and I fear/Thou played’st most foully for‘t’” (Shakespeare, 81) is said by Banquo. He comes to the realization that Macbeth is power hungry and his ambitions are unchecked. He is also suspicious that since Macbeth’s prophecy came true, Macbeth will want to make certain that his prophecy won’t be fulfilled.

In spite of this they decide to play create a false sense of security with Macbeth, “security is mortals’ chiefest enemy”. To do this they made the aspirations that Macbeth sees, sound like nothing can hurt, kill or dethrone him, “none of woman born can harm Macbeth”. The witches are responsible for Macbeth’s downfall because they make it seem that he cannot be killed by anything, thus enhancing his sense of security. This heightened sense of invincibility causes Macbeth to kill MacDuff’s family, and then fight with the thought that no one can hurt him. Macbeth is not totally responsible for his downfall, the witches twisting of words cause Macbeth to misinterpret the message, which causes his eventual death.

Fleance does not return back to Macbeth’s castle shows that he has control over his own fate by opposing to the future that the witches had seen in their prophecy. “Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none” (act1 scene3 line 70) In the beginning of the play the witches had foretell Banquo that his sons will become the king. Macbeth strongly believes in the witches prophecy. He commits murder against Banquo and Fleance in order to fight against the destiny that the witches had prophesied. “Thou may ’st revenge —O slave!”(act scene line) Banquo urges Fleance to escape and someday to take revenge of this gory tragedy. The reader expects Fleance to return to Macbeth’s castle to take revenge by murdering Macbeth similarly like he had done to his father. Though, the reader loses where he had fled in the story after he had escaped from that scene. This may show that he would not become the king. As the witches recite in the beginning of the play. “Fair is foul, foul is fair”(act scene line), Macbeth acts as what the witches had said. He is brainwashed by the evil spirits, he has no more control over himself. He believes that he is doing the right thing but he is actually trapping himself in a difficult situation. Although, both Banquo and Fleance opposes to this

Visualize being in MacBeth’s place, you are announced Thane of Cawdor after your heroic leadership on the battlefield, why would you thirst for a higher rank? Although you may be content with your position, there are many reasons why you would want more power. Your rank becomes very close to that of a king, so you decide to go for it, after all, all you have to do to be king is to kill Duncan. As your sight of kingship would become realistic, your rapacity grows, and you start making nefarious decisions that would affect your disposition. As an effect of your changed mindset, your nobles start to become suspicious that you are deranged. Little do they know they are all pawns in your game of life and your scheme to become king is going impeccably

Have you ever been tempted to do something you know is wrong by the fear that you won't be good enough if you don't? Like when you and your bestfriend take your moms car without a driver's license, just to feel the adrenaline run through your veins. This is similar to the decisions that Lady Macbeth and her husband make throughout the play. Lady Macbeth is bored in her life, and desires something to fill up the empty hole left from losing her baby. When people are living in a world of doubt and temptation, they project their own fears on others, which causes them to make regretful decisions.

The Tragedy of Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare during the early 1600s. The play is set in Scotland. The main character, Macbeth, is influenced by the witches’ prophecies and decides to kill Duncan, the current king, to become king. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a loyal and trustworthy thane. After encountering the witches, he became a traitor who would kill anyone to be king. The witches practice witchcraft, which is the practice of magic that uses spells and calls spirits. It well known during this period. Many people associate witchcraft with evil and demons because of their satanic rituals. They also believed that witches worshipped the Devil. Throughout the play, witchcraft is portrayed as evil from the chaos created by the witches and is shown through Macbeth.

In scene 4 of act 2 Macduff reveals to the Thane of Ross that king Duncan’s death, during the middle of a crazy storm. Before knowing about the king’s death an old man says that “[h]ours dreadful and thing strange” (2.4.3-4). This quote allows the audience to understand that the world is acting crazy, where it is dark during the day and that animals’ behaviors are changing. This is why I have a picture of a storm in my slide. In addition,

The theme “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” means that everything is not alway what it seems.

This quote triggers the inquisition in my mind -are valiant acts ever committed alone? Has a person ever made a decision based off of their own opinion, or do others’ opinions happen to factor in. Over the course of House of Cards and Macbeth, the majority of key decisions formulated required two peoples’ contribution in order to come up with the most compelling vision. This idea is shown in both House of Cards and Macbeth, and manifested through the dynamic of husband and wife.

Mario, Fanous Pd:1 2/16/16 During the first act of this play blood takes after honor, dignity, and perhaps triumphs. Macbeth's bloody sword after the war depicts him as a fearless legend on account of the solider he murdered. He is known as "Brave Macbeth" to everybody including Duncan, the King. His fame is compensated by the title of Thane of Cawdor, I feel that the word blood toward the start of this play gains Macbeth's appreciation from the characters, as well as the reader.

Throughout Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy, there is a very ominous and dark tone developed through the author’s use of metaphors. In her murderous thoughts, Lady Macbeth echoes Macbeth, calling “come, thick night,/and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,/that my keen knife see not the wound it makes” (1.5.40-43). In this quote, similar to how Macbeth was looking towards the next step of becoming king, Lady Macbeth is plotting to do whatever is necessary to make him king; knowing the immorality and reprehensibility of these murderous actions she plotted, Lady Macbeth called upon the darkness to cover the world so that she wouldn’t have to face the repercussions nor witness these actions herself. With her calling upon the darkness and even the “dunnest

I have loved you since the moment my eyes first looked upon your humble and handsome face. We have gone through most everything together, such as losing a child and being crowned King & Queen of Scotland. You have always been supportive of my ideas, even if it takes a bit of coaxing in the beginning…

Macbeth had the dagger in his hand ready to kill the King but he just could not do it until the King started waking up, it was then he knew he had no choice. He regrets his actions afterwards, "But where fore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? / I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' / Stuck in my throat" which is proof that he never was willing to kill the King but Lady Macbeth assures him “a little water will wash away their guilt”. Macbeth having killed the King eventually kills several others to cover his tracks. This proves Lady Macbeth transformed her husband by saying things such as “Are you a man?” She made him feel at fault so things could be done her way. If it weren’t for Lady Macbeth, Macbeth would have never have killed anyone. This story of Lady
