Lady Macbeth: reassuring Macbeth

These deeds must not be thought
After these ways; so, it will make us mad."

This quote means that Lady Macbeth's manipulative skills are amazing, she tells Macbeth to calm down and to not act scared, guilty, and to not show fear. She re-assures Macbeth that they wont get caught if he listens to her and just act normal and also to act like their in shocked. It also really shows that Lady Macbeth's ambitions are big. She and Macbeth hide their guilt and do their best not to get caught, so that Macbeth secures the Throne.

The flouting dagger is a way to show how Macbeth knows what he is about to do. The flouting dagger represents Macbeth ambition. This is also great foreshadowing for what to come. This also is tied to the theme fate for Macbeth prophecies.

Macbeth is realizing that he has killed the King of Scotland, but the guilt is starting to get to him. He begins to panic and lose his sense of reason and making reckless choices, for example when he brought the daggers with him needing lady MacBeth to dispose of them for him.

"Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, Are stol'n away and fled: which puts upon them Suspicions of the deed"

This GIF shows a man being suspicious which represents the suspicion that they are getting. Donalbain and Malcolm's flight after King Duncan’s murder makes people suspicious, as it’s commonly believed that those who run away are guilty. This suspicion makes it easier for Macbeth to take the throne, even though he is the real murderer. In this way, Malcolm and Donalbain’s decision to flee actually helps Macbeth gain power.

The GIF represents the guards being framed by Lady Macbeth. She does this by placing the bloody dagger that Macbeth used to kill King Duncan. In order for Macbeth to get away from being accused she does this. This relates to the theme ambition because Lady Macbeth shows that she is willing to do anything to get away from being accused.

MacBeth stabbing the life out those 3 guards:

Macbeth fakes irrational anger to eliminate the two guards of Duncan before they can respond after the murder. Macbeth admits his murder of the guards because of his intense rage although he first declares "O yet I do repent me of my fury, / That I did kill them" (Act 2, Scene 3). His killing of the guards serves to suppress their innocence and prevents them from revealing the truth about the murder. At first most people believe Macbeth but Macduff doubts him and feels there is something wrong.

This GIF represents Macbeth about to murder Duncan in his sleep. Macbeth must do this in order to become king but will soon regret what he has done shortly after he murders Duncan. Before this murder happens Macbeth is questioning himself if he should do this or not. This scene relates to ambition since Macbeth shows what he can do in order to get the crown for himself.

Omens in nature

The murder of Duncan causes natural disturbances to hapoen as signs that the universe has fallen out of equilibrium. During Act 2 Scene 4 the dialogue between Ross and an old man features their account of an owl causing the death of a falcon while Duncan's horses resorted to eating each other. In the same way Macbeth eliminated King Duncan even though he possessed smaller strength. The unusual behavior in nature indicates that Scotland has been thrown into disarray because someone was killed.
