Macbeth is a play filled with murders and lies, but it is not the murderer who is responsible for the most evil in the play. The main character Macbeth kills two important characters in the play, and is responsible for the death of a third. Macbeth is still only the instrument carrying out these evil actions. Other main characters in the play are the three Weird sisters, or the three witches. They are supernatural creatures that prophesize that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and eventually king. They stir Macbeth’s ambition to ascend the throne. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s strategic wife that plans the murder of King Duncan. She uses Macbeth’s ambition to acquire more power.

One would say that being bipolar in today’s society isn’t that bad of a mental disease, but when you throw that mental disease into the power of a potential king, you live on a day to day basis and never know what could happen in the blink of an eye. Bipolar Disorder is one of the oldest mental disorders and its symptoms have been molded by differing theories over time until it actually had its own classification. For many years, Bipolar Disorder was linked to Schizophrenia. The founder of this disorder, Francois Baillarger, was finally successful in separating the two disorders and Emeril Krapelin finally acclaimed the title "manic depression" in 1913.…

In our wordle we used a white background that represents Lady Macbeths appearance and how society views Lady Macbeth as a woman, innocent as a white dove. We make the words a dark theme along witht the color red for it represents lady Macbeths true nature and the contrast in the colors represent how her character breaks the female sterotypes. The first trait i identified she had is megalomania. The quote I chose for her megalomania personality is: “And fill me from head to toe, top full of direst cruely” (1.5.45-46) This quote shows how Lady Macbeth is willing to give up the gentleness of humankind to achieve to achieve power to make her dream sound more dramatic in terms of de she said desires.

These two quotes indicate Lady macbeth’s greed for power even if she has to lose herself to gain more .…
