Q:13 I think Macduff's family dying is when Macbeth truly went insane. There was no reason for killing them. Those murders are what lead to Macduff killing Macbeth instead of someone else. Macduff wanted revenge on Macbeth. Also the news of his families death made Malcolm convinced that Macduff is being honest.

I think you made a very good note of what the murder of the Macduff family led to with Malcolm and Macduff! It is also important to recognize that the murder was not mentioned to Lady Macbeth. This adds to the significance of the event, because it led to her sanity suffering more because she did not have Macbeth's support. He was too busy thinking he was invincible due to the witches' prophecies.

I agree Myles Macbeth did come off a a real jack wagon but there is some good in him. He was just so blinded by power and would have done anything to stay king even if that means killing his best friend. And I also agree that lady Macbeth just wanted the best for Macbeth that where her good comes in she wants to see her husband succeed.

The only good Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had was that they felt guilt for doing what they did in the end. Although Lady Macbeth felt guilt til the end and killed herself, Macbeth strayed away from guilt and became this person who doesn't feel,so they did have good in the fact that they felt guilt but that is all.

1. I think that Macbeth wasn't born evil. Macbeth kinda became evil because of all the power that went to his head. He killed king Duncan to become king and then he killed his best friend to stay King and so that his kids wouldn't become king. The witches also had a role to play in him becoming evil because they told him his future. Lady Macbeth also had something to do with him becoming evil because she pressured Macbeth into killing the king to become king.

I agree but I think Macbeth had a little evil in him. The witches just told him what could happen but he is the one who acted on it. Killing Banquo was very evil, there are ways he could have gotten around that. He could have had hid child and Banquo's child married.

I agree with you Natalie the killing of lady Macduff and the children. Is the point where we see Macbeth has gone completely mad. And he didn't have an motive to kill them unlike the other murders.

Q:4 I think Lady Macbeth killed herself of free will. The witches had nothing to do with her death. I think she didn't want to be a woman anymore because she says " unsexy me here" to a statue. That's makes me think that she could not stand being feminine and she wanted to be masculine. She was gong crazy because Macbeth was taking over everything.

Question #4: Do you think Lady Macbeth's suicide is freewill, or can we blame the witches influence?

I agree that her death was influenced by the prophecies, and that they caused Macbeth to become cocky in the fact that he "could not be harmed." Adding to this thought, I think that this could also mean it was fate for her to die. She was doing downhill in her sanity, but with Macbeth not consulting her in the murder of Banquo and the Macduff family, she was constantly worrying about the Duncan murder and her involvement. In Act 5, Scene 1, she is trying to wash her bloody hands off while sleep walking. Therefore, it is a possibility that her husband's role fed the fuel for her death, as well.

I agree that lady Macbeth's suicude was freewill and that since the witches told Macbeth his future and him knowing that it made him purse his actions to get that future. This did lead to a chain reaction of negitive events and with these events going on it did influence her commit suicude.

I disagree I think Macbeth was completely insane and there was no reason to kill them. I can understand why that makes sense but right now Macbeth has no common sense. He killed them because he is crazy and has no idea what he is doing,

Question #7: How does greed and the need for power affect Macbeth's actions?

I agree, Macbeth did what he had to in order to make sure his legacy was safe. He killed Duncan, Banquo, and all of Macduff's family. If you kill that many people there is only one reason, greed.

10. Based on your reading of the play, do you think that someone who doesn’t appear to have morality can still feel guilt? Similarly, can guilt be forced onto a person?

I do agree with what you are saying, it was basically his last chance of humanity but he chose to do evil and lose his feelings and like you said shooting himself in the foot.

Question #8: Is ambition Macbeth's tragic flaw? Or is it something else?
Reply
Natalie Linton

I totally agree! Ambition is not the appropriate word that supports Macbeth's drive for the murders. Lady Macbeth's original need for power led to his greed in this aspect. However, I do not think his greed to become King is Mabeth's greatest flaw. It was his initial desire to please his wife that is his flaw, in my opinion. This eventually led to his whole persona changing, with him thinking that murder is the answer to everything.

I completely agree with you and that the witches were the ones that drilled into his head that he needed power and this made him greedy and thus killing those to get ahead.

1: I think that they both become evil due to the hunger for power, all stemming from the witches.

#3 I do think Lady Macbeth killing herself was a sign of she had had enough and this was a rational action. She felt the guilt of all she had done to get where she is and it was all getting to her like Act 5 Scene 1 where she was pretending to wash her hands to clean all the filth she had done. So in my opinion her killing herself was an act of relief of all she had done.

#13 The killing of Macduff's family was very significant to how Macbeth truly is at this moment in the play. I believe this event was the last straw to his innocence and rational thinking. Those murderers were very preventable and were extremely unnecessary, but he only did it to punish Macduff for leaving him.
