This loss of morality slowly progresses to madness, and ultimately leads to Macbeth’s downfall as a tyrannic ‘hellhound’ and immoral oppressor of the people. By showing Macbeth’s degeneration, Shakespeare warns the audience of the consequences of loss of morality, and madness that results. In order to fulfil his ambition, Macbeth disregards his morality, and concomitantly
[b]" [i] God loves all creatures.[/i] Can you honestly say you believe that?"[/b] If god loved humans as the Priest thought the celestial being did why would he create monsters capable of devouring them? It was a nice theory it really was and who was she to pop his bubble. People regardless of species would always choose the path that got them further in life and that path was littered with violence and corruption especially now that the world's power had gone from human to vampire. Violence and

later cured and not care much about future events, it seems as though this is due to his resignation to the fact that he is going to Hell. He has given up all hope. He believes that he is past the point of no return. Macduff even addresses him as a “hellhound” to which Macbeth does not
Phenix slid between one matte shadow and the next, retracing his steps through the garden, putting distance between him and the cenobite. The wind was in his favor, drifting across his face, his mind on Kalyssandra. He hungered for another taste of her blossom-kissed lips, wanted to sip and bite lips reminding him of the dark-fleshed fruit, planned to do so before this night ended. In truth, he intended tasting every delectable inch of the soul harvester. He froze when a scent wafted toward him and
confines of the narrow corridor gave Andreas the heebie-jeebies. He’d rather walk the foyer of Bossman’s Netherworld pad. With colossal black columns, razor-sharp shards hanging from the ceiling and devil-red eyes in the darkness tracking his steps and Hellhounds lazing in a sulfuric reek. Better than lemon-scented polish, the smell of carpet shampoo and insulated white walls guiding him to a door marked, Private. After a rap of his knuckles on dark wood, Andreas pushed open the door and two newly acquired
The title of a book or play is usually one of the most critical parts of the piece. The term "fences" has different meanings to everyone.

So it comes to this. The English army is in the process of tearing down the ancient woods, preparing to defeat the one whom I despise the most, Macbeth. Oh Macbeth! This tyrant sits behind the walls of Dunsinane while Malcolm and his mighty force prepare to usurp him. Macbeth’s forces will be dashed against the walls of his castle, like waves against the ocean wall. Only then will Scotland be returned to order. And only the death of that accursed Macbeth will avenge my family’s deaths. Some say
Macduff and Macbeth finally come face to face and confront one another. Macbeth’s instinct to slay Macduff may have subconsciously came from Lady Macbeth. Mcduff comes behind Macbeth, demanding the “turn, hellhound turn!” (5.8.3) Macbeth and Macduff being to fight, Macbeth believes nothing can hurt him, that he is simply indestructible. "I bear a charmed life, which must not yield/To one of woman born" (5.8.1203). Macduff exposes that he was ripped from his
