Making the green one red" (2.2.78/81). karunanamala https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/972963028 Blood serves as a constant reminder of the sins that Macbeth has committed and how the murder he committed had forever tainted his life. When he sees blood on his hands and on Lady Macbeth he reminded himself of the life he stole and understood that his life had now permanently changed and could not ever go back.

Macbeth leaves if he becomes king up to fate. When he learns he will become king, he trusts fate. Macbeth's trust in fate could lead to his downfall if his fate is not necessarily good. https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/972982506 Sadie O'Dowd]]> 2020-11-30 19:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/972982506 axelmartin3 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/973070138 " But 'tis strange; and oftentimes, to win us to our harm, the instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray us in deepest consequence" ( 2.1.68/72). The supernatural is showed here when the witches use the phrase "instruments of darkness"because they are using a none physical object in a form of a physical such as a weapon , like a supernatural item.

Macbeth does murder sleep'-The innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the raveled  sleave of care, the death of each day's life, sore labor bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast" (2.2.36-40). Shakespeare uses the motif of sleep as a way to represent reprieve and recuperation. Through this passage and the events leading up to it, one can see that Macbeth feels a lot guilt about his actions and that is why he murdered this sleep. He can no longer feel this calming recuperation because of his heinous actions.

Sleep shall neither nor day hang upon his penthouse lid. He shall live a man forbid. Weary sev' nights, nine times, Shall he dwindle, peak and pine. Though his bark cannot be lost, Yet it shall be tempest-tost. Look what I have" (1.3.18-26) In this, the witches talk to Macbeth and Banquo and telling them what had happened with the woman's husband. She controlled the winds as well as keeping his eyes from closing.

Where we lay, our chimneys were blown down...heard I' th' air, strange screams of death" (2.3.28-35). Lennox said that it was like an earthquake. The disruption of the Earth is a way to show that Duncan has died and what disruption that will cause in the future. She also mentioned that there were screams of death in the sky that night which was the same night the king had died. https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/973163647 2020-11-30 19:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/973163647 "The heavens are being stingy with their light. Take this, too. I’m tired and feeling heavy, but I can’t sleep. Merciful powers, keep away the nightmares that plague me when I rest!"(2.1.8). https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/973193902 Banquo says that he does not want to sleep, because his sleep inspires cursed thoughts, so he is fine with being tired. I think that he does not want to show weakness, but if he does not sleep then overall, he will not be dominate and will show weakness.

All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor
All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" (Shakespeare 1.3.64-67)
It could be argued that because the three witches declared it, the rank of Macbeth was triggered by the witches. The three witches are controlling Macbeth's life in a way. Meaning that there is only so much he can control. His fate is not up to him or his actions now.

(4.1.83-84) karunanamala https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/995754905 Macbeth ensures that he is in the right by consulting the witches. Although he is aware of the fact that the three witches are immoral he continues to rely on their confirmation, which helps him reassure himself that what he is doing is just and has reason. Deep down Macbeth is most likely aware that he is sinful and bigoted but by consulting the witches he is masking that from himself in order to feel worthy.]]> 2020-12-07 19:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/995754905 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/4qofhkr706f7wz6y/wish/1004726690 “I conjure you by that which you profess— Howe'er you come to know it—answer me”(4.1.50).
We can see now that Macbeth is not concerned with anyone else but himself. The only things that he thinks about are his power and fate. Macbeth speaks to the three witches with an arrogant tone even though we can see that he is not as secure with the power he holds as he may seem. The demand of the use of supernatural power for his own benefit connects to the motif of the supernatural.
