Internal Conflict In Macbeth

The Tragedy of Macbeth is about Macbeth killing Duncan, who is the king, and what happens after Duncan died. Macbeth faces internal struggles throughout the play so much so that it is as if it is his consequence for what he did. “Methought I heard a voice cry, sleep no more!

Furthermore, he uses fate to show that in the end is the corruption of us all. Finally, these all tied together to show that with too much internal processings with the help of paradox, conflict, and fate, that everyone is corrupted to what and how they feel, whether it is sudden or over time in the end we will all
