This statement refers to the fact that even the people closely related to you could cause harm. This relates to the sons' decisions by them fearing that they would be the next to be killed. By using the words "daggers" and "smiles, this creates a negative connotation in order to show how people can represent a fake smile, and get stabbed in the back.Their action is interpreted by Duncan's nobles by them thinking that Duncan's sons' were guilty of their father's murder. In act 2, scene 4, it says,"...the king's two sons, Are stol'n away and fled,which puts upon them Suspicion of the deed." This quote helps to support the fact that Duncan's nobles believed that his sons' were the cause of his death.

The image of sleep symbolizes innocence, rest, and peacefulness. Shakespeare enforces the idea that this is being taken away by Macbeth through the repetition of phrases such as "murdering sleep" and "sleep no more." This shows that Macbeth will no longer be at peace. The image of blood symbolizes death and violence and the image of darkness symbolizes mystery and uncertainty.  Shakespeare uses repetition of blood to develop the various vengeful and suspenseful moods in the play and repetition of darkness to create an ominous mood. He repeatedly shows how death and violence will play a major part in the story.

Examples~
-Act 2 Scene 2
"Whence is that knocking? How is't with me when every noise appals me? What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes,"
This is ominous because Macbeth is terrified of what the knocking is, and he is starting to regret what he did, so the reader can see how grim he is.
-Act 2 Scene 1
"Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee,"
This part of the scene is ominous because Macbeth is not only getting worried about the murder, but he is even starting to hallucinate about it, giving it an unnatural feel.
-Act 2 Scene 1
"I go, and it is done. The bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or hell,"
This is probably one of the most ominous parts in the act. It is Macbeth's final decision that he really is going to kill Duncan, which builds up a lot of suspense in the reader.
-Act 2 Scene 2
"Still it cried 'Sleep no more!" to all the house. 'Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor Shall sleep no more. Macbeth shall sleep more,'"
This is ominous because Macbeth is once again hallucinating. The reader realizes that he is hallucinating and can see that he is clearly going insane and is very, very guilty.

The images suggest that the act of killing the king was unnatural. The earth entombed in darkness shows how unnatural it was for the sky to be so dark when it is daytime and supposed to be light out. The sky represents the kingdom falling into a sadness and depression.The owl killing the falcon shows that someone in a lower class killed someone in a higher class. The owl has its place below the falcon, and it is unnatural that it would try to rise above it. The horses becoming wild and disobedient after the king's death shows how the kingdom will become disorganized and chaotic without him. It was unnatural for the once behave obedient to shift into disobedience in one night. This all foreshadows how the kingdom will not be the same under Macbeth's  rule and how unnatural the circumstances of him becoming king was.

His actions are significant because he is acting horrified at the news of the murder, even though he was the person who killed Duncan. He is giving an excuse for killing the guard in order to cover up the murder. We know it was Macbeth that killed Duncan, not the guards, but the characters in the play do not.
ex: "For in ruin's wasteful entrance; there, the murderers, / Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers / Unmannerly breeched with gore."

Macduff's attitude towards Macbeth is different from what he showed the last king. He didn't show up to Macbeth's coronation but he showed extreme loyalty to Duncan. In act 2, scene 3 the text states 'I'll make so bold to call,/For 'tis my limited service" This is an example of Macduff  following an order the king gave and sticking to what the king told him witch shows his loyalty. He stayed true to his word and did what he was asked witch shows his loyalty in his character. Another example of his loyalty is in Act 2, Scene 3 it states "(Banquo) Fears and scruples shake us. In the great hand of god i stand, and thence Against the undivulged pretense I fight of treasonous malice. (Macduff) And so will I."
This shows his loyalty because he is the first person to answer banquo after he is done talking.

The desire for power can drive people to do something they normally would not.

There are many different characters who experience internal conflict at different times. One if these characters is MacBeth after he is given the title of Thane of Cawdor. He questions whether or not the witches' prophecy is a good thing or a bad thing. He asks himself, "This supernatural soliciting/Cannot be ill, cannot be good./If ill,'Why hath it given me earnest of success,/Commencing in a truth?... If good, why do I yield to that suggestion/Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair... (Act I, Scene III)."

When lady Macbeth calls upon spirits and demons, not only does it show the cruelty and violence lady Macbeth is capable of but it creates the theme that supernatural is often evil and is looked at dreadfully. Of course its mostly used in Macbeth for its popularity back then and it draws more attention. She says "And fill me from crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood." This strong horrid connotation shows how badly the supernatural was looked upon and lady Macbeth is using it to her advantage.

First Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!
Second Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!
Third Witch: All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!

The witches say this to Macbeth in the woods. He believes they are telling lies, until what they say starts to come true. This shows that the witches have a supernatural ability, which ties into the theme of supernatural, or the unnatural.

The witches were explaining to Macbeth how his fate for the future is to become king. In Act 1, Scene 3, the third witch says," All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter." Since everything that the witches told Macbeth in the past was true, he believed that his fate at becoming king had to be true as well. Also, in act 1, scene 3, Macbeth says," Two truths are told, as happy prologues to the swelling act..." After this occurs, his free will takes complete control over him, resulting in him deciding to kill King Duncan in order for him to become king, but it takes a lot courage. In act 1, scene 7, Macbeth says," I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat." This quote helps to show how Macbeth had to get over his fear, and just kill the king as his wife told him to do.

Macbeth faces many internal conflicts throughout the story but there was one major one. Before he killed the king he started hallucinating daggers. " Is this a dagger witch i see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee... A dagger of the mind. a false creation proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?" Through this quote we can see that Macbeth is hallucinating a dagger before he goes to kill the king. This shows he is strongly deciding weather or not he should go through with it. He has one side telling him that he should do it while another side is telling him that its a bad choice and that he should not do it.

"I'll go no more:
I am afraid to think what I have done;
Look on 't again I dare not."

"I am settled, and bend up Each corporal agent to this terrible feat. Away, and mock the time with fairest show. False face must hide what the false heat doth know"

Starting off the scene, Macbeth dwells on his growing guilt towards murdering Duncan, and states that he is morally obligated to protect Duncan as "his kinsman and his subject / Strong both against the deed; then, as his host / Who should against his murderer shut the door, / Not bear the knife myself." In such effort as to ease his guilt, although harshly, Lady Macbeth later states that his cowardice reflects how she views their marriage, "From this time / Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard / To be the same in thine own act and valor / As thou art in desire?" By stating this, Lady Macbeth is manipulating her husband to do as she desires. Although his predetermined fate of becoming King is set, the actions he may take, or in this case, the actions his wife may take aware of this prophecy, will affect that fate. So, fate is already destined, but free will may change that.

In this scene Macbeth is hallucinating which is a form of supernatural experiences. He is imagining things that have not even happened yet, which shows the reader how uneasy Macbeth is feeling about the murder. The knocking that is mocking him isnt really happening, which shows how he cant even tell the difference between reality and supernatural.

In this scene, Macbeth is having a hallucination and sees a dagger in front of him that appears to have blood splotches on it. Starting on line 40, Macbeth says, "I see thee yet, in form as palpable as this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going, and such an instrument I was to use." He then realizes there is no real dagger in front of him and that his guilty conscience about his pan to murder the king is making him see things.This is an example of free will because Macbeth is taking action in becoming king. Him seeing a dagger with blood on it, which symbolizes death, lets the reader know about the murder that Macbeth is choosing to participate in.

But I worry about whether or not you have what it takes to seize the crown.You are too full of the milk of human kindness to strike aggressively at your first opportunity. You want to be powerful, and you don't lack ambition, but you don't have the mean streak that these things call for."
