Fair Is Fair Macbeth

The play Macbeth is jam-packed full of different themes and symbols. Although a number of these themes and symbols are fairly important, the most significant, and the one that is featured the most, is the theme “Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair”.

He was a man that liked to believe that everyone is generally good hearted, and they couldn’t possibly have any hidden bad intentions, but oh was he dead wrong (again, no pun
