In What Ways Does Macbeth Attempt To Control The Future And Bury The Past?

In what ways does Macbeth attempt to control the future and bury the past?

In the play Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, Macbeth is talked to by three witches. The witches tell Macbeth that if he does certain things he will become king. Mabeth and the other general, Banquo, come across these three witches, they tell the generals that Macbeth will become thane of cowdor, king of scotland, and banquos’ descendants will become kings. The generals want to hear more but the witches disappear. Macbeth is soon promoted to thane of cowdor Lady Macbeth hears about this and vows to assist Macbeth become king by any means necessary. Little does Macbeth know he will have to do things he is not willing to do in order to become king of scotland. He does this because he listens to other people and doesn’t take any time to think about what he is doing and how it might affect his opportunity to be king.

When macbeth is promoted, he goes back to the castle to talk with Lady Macbeth. They make a plan to kill the king. To do so the have to wait for it to be night. Right before Macbeth kills the king he sees a floating dagger that is covered in blood, “Is this a dagger which I see before me” (act 2 scene 1).

Think about it, he gets promoted by king duncan, then kills him. Then he becomes king and kills more people because he feels insecrue and becvause he doesnt want his throne to be threatend. He then goes into battle to protect his thrown but gets killed because of his selfishness. This is one theory on why macbeth tries to foget about the people he has killed and the things that he has done, but him being easily manipulated into things that he does not want to do makes more sense on why he wants to bury the past and control hius
