I have always known Lady Macbeth to be ruthless, but I knew the moment I overheard her say, “O, never shall sun that morrow see!" (I.v.60-61). This was her reply to Macbeth when he said the king would be leaving tomorrow. Lady Macbeth wants to take over the presentations because this night will forever be life-changing. When Macbeth tries to go back on the plan to kill the King, Lady Macbeth pressured him into doing the deed and questioned his manhood.
This quote shows that Macbeth trust the witches more than anything else despite reason. Macbeth had a false sense of security because of the visions the witches showed him. Quote. I can relate Macbeth’s irrational trust in the witches. A few weeks ago I was assigned homework
“There is a sufficiency in the world for man 's need but not for man 's greed.” This quote was spoken from a wise Indian activist, what he says is a correlation towards the rising greed aspect of the character Macbeth.

The question “ How much of what happens in our lives do we actually control?” is present throughout the story Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, and the story of Chris McCandless, named Into the Wild. Both stories demonstrate this theme through the choices the main characters make in their lives, Macbeth was told his prophecy from the witches, which set him on his path towards his chosen destiny. In the case of Chris McCandless, he chose to live a very minimal life, which to led the camping trip that caused his death. The choices that these two people made answer the question of “How much in our lives do we actually control?”.
This is important because it shows how desperate Macbeth is to keep the crown, and that he doesn’t trust anyone, worried that he won’t be King much longer. As a result, of his tyranny, his subjects feel wary of him, and feel that he is not the
I remember watching Macbeth taking a knee to get the crown placed upon his messy head. He rejoiced and ordered everyone to feast. I couldn't help but notice how hellish he looked. Lady Macbeth looked a little more dull than usual also. Her eyes were soulless.
This quote, being said after having murdered King Duncan is used to show his paranoia of the judgement to come for the sins he has committed. There are plenty more direct connections between the script and passages in the bible, that I could use to prove that the majority of the language used in this play stems or was formed from a base of Christian beliefs, but those are a few specifically important examples found in the first few scenes of Macbeth that show the foundation of Christian beliefs that the play was set upon.
Another quote is “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” The phrase foreshadowed how appearances could deceive because good is bad and bad is good. We was showed that MacBeth was a gentle nobleman who would hate the thought of killing. But his wife was greedy from the start.

Macbeth is comparable to a child on the night before Christmas who cannot wait till morning so the child opens the presents which is against the parents’ rules. Shakespeare eludes to the fact that humans do not learn and still follow their desires without a care for the consequences.
Hamartia is the fatal flaw of a tragic hero. Macbeth’s hamrita is being too ambitious. One if the time that Macbeth showed his ambition is when he killed Duncan. Macbeth killed Duncan because he wanted to be king, but before that, Duncan, the King of Scotland had just pronounced his son next in line for king. Macbeth says this to himself when he is preparing to kill Duncan.
“Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.” (Act II, Scene II) Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare in the 1600’s, is the shortest of Shakespearian tragedies. The main character, Macbeth, receives a prophecy that he will become King of Scotland. Ambition takes over him and he commits many murders to keep the throne.
Macbeth is the Shakespearean play that features the triumphant uprise and the inevitable downfall of its main character. In this play, Macbeth’s downfall can be considered to be the loss of his moral integrity and this is achieved by ambition, despite this, Lady Macbeth and the witches work through his ambition, furthering to assist his inevitable ruin. Ambition alone is the most significant factor that led to Macbeth’s downfall. The witches are only able to influence his actions through Macbeth’s pre-existing and the three witches see that Macbeth has ambition and uses it to control his action. Ambition alone is displayed throughout the play to be the most significant cause for Macbeth’s downfall.
All Hail Fleance The murderers’ eyes flashed mysteriously in the torchlight. Banquo flinched and begged for mercy not knowing what the next moments would hold. At once the two masked figured carrying daunting daggers revealed their faces and twisted grins. “We won’t kill you, Banquo.” Said the first.
The soliloquy echoes the speech in Act 2 Scene 3 about the futility of life after the lords have discovered the death of Duncan. He says “There’s nothing serious in mortality/ All is but toys; renown and grace is dead” (Act 2 Scene 3, lines 86-87). Although he appears to be pretending to grieve for Duncan by saying “there’s nothing serious in mortality” (Act 2 Scene 3, line 70), he does believe that there is no meaning to life. In addition, Macbeth’s words “grace is dead” (Act 2 Scene 3, line 87) applies not only to Duncan’s death, but also himself.
This quote is nearly foreshadowing the rest of the play. This reveals how situations that may appear to be good in reality could be very evil, or vice versa. This is also present when Macbeth is
