Power presents itself in many ways throughout the play Macbeth. It is seen through the three witches when they tell Macbeth his fate knowing that his ambition would lead to his downfall. Power is also shown when Macbeth has already killed Duncan and is telling Lady Macbeth all the other murderous acts that he must commit in order to remain in power. Power can manifests itself in various ways but in Macbeth, power is being in an authoritative position. Overall, power is presented as being more dominant over other people whether it be psychological or physical.

This quote helps show how in Macbeth, the heavens are right because they were trying to punish the town for the death of Duncan, the natural born king. Every time Macbeth killed someone strange things would happen, things that only the gods could control. It showed how the gods were not okay with what Macbeth did by killing good people. Showing that higher power is the only one that really knew what was right from wrong.

"Thou seest the heavens, as troubled with man’s act,

Threatens his bloody stage. By th' clock ’tis day,

And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp.

Is ’t night’s predominance or the day’s shame

That darkness does the face of Earth entomb.''
(ll, iv, 5-9)

The higher power is correct because they help guide people through their faith. The gods truly invest their time in helping the people make correct decisions.

Someone who should have power must have qualities that their society believes are fit for a ruler.

This quote describes the way that power is shown psychologically through the witches because they play games with Macbeth's mind, which cause conflicted ideas within himself. Power is also interpreted as being a king. With this saying from the witches, Macbeth is thinking that he will have to kill Duncan to retrieve the power that would be his. When he is about to kill Duncan, the dagger is what represents power because it shows Macbeth's will to kill. The dagger gives Macbeth the power to choose whether he lives or not, and whether he would want to be king or not.

This quote helps represent  who should have power because it relates to how Macbeth was told to act while he  still had power. He was told to act merciless so that he would "not" be defeated. This helps show how we all have a different idea of who should have power, in this example Macbeth was to be merciless and brave to have power. There are qualities to who should have power, not a specific person.

This quote shows that the witches gain power because they have gained Macbeth's trust from their strange prophecy. They have the power to control and manipulate his mind . Macbeth loses power here as he puts his trust in something supernatural and could possibly lead him astray. He has no control over what is real or just a mind game.

"Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scorn

The power of man, for none of woman born

Shall harm Macbeth."
