Last Post- 5/12

Blood is a huge symbol showed in this play. It can be interpreted that it represents the guilt that the Macbeth's have. They kill all of these people and when they do they bleed immensely. Their guilt grow heavier after every murder. This begins to haunt Lady Macbeth one night when she has a nightmare when more and more blood begins to get all over her dress and body. Eventually, this freaks her out and the guilt leads her to commit suicide. 

Macbeth on the other hand is so guilty about everything he has done, he begins to lose his mind. He is killing people without thinking twice. He is making these decision impulsively. He ends up going to war and there is more blood that he has seen before and he has to go alone and he knows this is because it is his fault that his wife is dead She could not handle all of the wrongs her husband was doing. Ironically, she was the one who convinced him to kill Duncan in the first place. But, he still feels guilty of this.

5/5 Post

Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way.
This quote is important to Macbeth because Lady Macbeth says this after reading Macbeth's letter about the witches' prophecy and explaining that she doesn't believe her husband is courageous enough to do it. If she would not have not been worried about this, Macbeth would most likely not have killed King Duncan and never have become king. Without Lady Macbeth, he would not have had a enough strength to murder him.

Fair is foul and foul is fair. This second quote is also important to Macbeth because it is the main theme of the play. This was also the witches philosophy of life. It also indicates things about the witches character that they are foul, but give fair advice. The witches also foreshadow what seems like a fair day for Macbeth and Scotland but instead will begin a chain of events that prove to be foul for both.
