    Lady Macbeth is married to Macbeth the main character in this play, making her one of the key characters in this play. Lady Macbeth is a woman who lusts for power, authority and control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end.

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    To begin with, in the play Macbeth. It is difficult to avoid fate, because the protagonist Macbeth is directly given the approach of fate by the witches through a seductive mean. This realization was quoted by the witches, they said,"[a]ll hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Glamis/all hail Macbeth Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth Hail to thee, thou shall be King hereafter!" (Shakespeare 1.3.49-51). This quote demonstrates that the witches are helping out Macbeth to give him future information. This quote could have been avoidable if Macbeth was not told that he will become the thane of Glamis and Cawdor, because him knowing the future it allows him to plan events that will allow him to become king faster. Macbeth started…

    Significance: The purpose of this well known quote is to communicate to the audience the witches’ intentions. The witches chant this line all together over a concoction they are preparing and the purpose of this is to increase the dramatic tension and visually portray how purely evil they can be. The translation of this line is to increase the hardships and misfortunes of the mortals (human beings) around them. The witches repeat this line thrice in this scene; the number three associating with evil and the witches clearly intending to want to increase the hardships of mankind for their mere satisfaction and entertainment.…

    “What had he done to make him fly the land?" [repeats, louder with cracked voice] “What had he done to make him fly the land?" (page no.) And what did I do to make him flee this land? [shaking head, is emotional] Fearful of Scotland’s happening and future. Oh, Scotland. Your monarchy so heinous, so damned, so feared that your men are fleeting images of the past. Gone with the wind that was a torrent of darkness among the blustery trees. Gone without a thought of kinship; to family nor duty. I should have known a man so full of human nature would chase the scorpions of suspicion in his mind that sting him to the point of no return. It can’t be. Macduff, this noble passion/ Child of integrity, hath from my soul. (Page 76, 114-115) [Shaking head]…

    In the play Macbeth, one notices many times where one can jump to conclusions about what someone says or their actions. “Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many.” This quote is said by Plato. This quote is very broad and one thing that one can take from it is that one shall not judge a book by its cover. In today’s time period people tend to jump to conclusions about someone or something. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, the theme things are not always as they seem is shown through Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the witches.…
