Nevertheless, once the King had been killed and Macbeth had taken his place, Scotland fell into disrepute with Macbeth’s treason the reason that he had completely undermined society. Talk of Macbeth’s treachery and its impact on the society was followed after Banquo’s death, when Ross informed Macduff and Malcolm that “O nation miserable” and that “It cannot / Be call’d our mother”. The great deceit of Macbeth was illustrated as resulting in “sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air” and Scotland was said to be “the dead man’s knell.” At this point in the play, the fear and common place of betrayal was in every characters’ mind and this was exemplified when Macduff’s son says that “there are / liars and swears enough to beat the honest men and / hang them up.” Although king, Macbeth still sought advice from the “weird sisters” in order to ascertain his future.

When you think of sleep, you think about great time, bedroom, and rest. But in the act 2 of Macbeth, Shakespeare use the sleep motif to describe Macbeth’s sense of guilt. This motif is also used to create a dark and evil theme.

Lady Macbeth: The night is still young yet… What am I doing on the freezing wooden floor? My feet are beginning to grow weary with calluses.

"Oh, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! / Thou mayest revenge"(III.iii.18-19). "Avaunt! And quit my sight!Let the earth hide thee! / Thy bone are marrowless, thy blood is cold; / thou hass no speculation in those eyes"(III.iv.93-96).

Macbeth- We should be happy, and disguise the thoughts we are actually thinking. Lady Macbeth- You should forget what is on your mind.

Come, spirits that have murderous thoughts, turn me more into a man than a woman, and fill me from head to toe with cruelty. When the servant had gone Lady Macbeth went to the window and looked out over the battlements of the country through which the royal party would ride. Make my blood thick so that I won’t feel remorse and no compassion to make my plan easier and help me accomplish it. Come to my female breast and turn the milk into poison acid and you, murdering demons, wherever you are, come and turn the world into a dark smoke of hell, so that my knife would be sharp enough and so no one can say

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff! Beware the Than of Fife!…Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Be bloody, bold and resolute. Laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth…Be lion-mettled, proud and take no care who chafes, who frets or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.

Behind him, Macbeth’s castle cast light on the horizon. “I don’t believe in spirits much, but a night like this could bring out the foulest of creatures.” Macduff thought to himself. The storm spooked his horse, but they trudged along. Macduff had fought harder battles against real enemies, no storm, no matter how harsh, was going to stop his progress. There were rumors whispered in eager ears, suspicions, that Macbeth had murdered men, including Duncan, to claim the throne.
