How has ambition affected different characters in different ways? Take Macbeth and Macduff for example. Are there other examples like these in literature? 

2. Did Macduff enact justice or act on vengeance? Are the two notions mutually exclusive? 

3. Think back to a time where you felt extreme guilt. Maybe a memory of something you regret. Recall the actions prior. Did you know that you might regret your actions before hand? What brought about those feelings of guilt/regret and how might you warn your past self if given the chance?]]> 2021-03-28 03:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1360704195 jbolio1188 https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1360734092 Blood continues to be a symbol for guilt as Lady Macbeth sees the same illusions that Macbeth once saw. "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!" (Act 5 Scene 1 Line 25). Though Macbeth's ambition over came his guilt and illusions, Lady Macbeth was not so lucky. Ambition was overcome by the resulted guilt in Lady Macbeth's case despite her initial confidence. "What need we / fear who knows it, when none can call our / power to account?—Yet who would have / thought the old man to have had so much / blood in him." (Act 5 Scene 1 Lines 27-31). Lady Macbeth refers to guilt as blood as if to say that the guilt is overwhelming and unexpected. It is as though Macbeth gained the ambition that Lady Macbeth had lost. She found that her ambitions brought guilt before she could reach her goal and could not handle what her ambitions would bring. "What, will these hands ne'er be clean?" (Act 5 Scene 1 Line31). Where Macbeth found a drive to achieve his goals, Lady Macbeth would succumb to the guilt and decide that she has no chance for redemption after her failed attempts at washing her hands. Her ambition did not give her power like it did Macbeth. Ambition destroyed Lady Macbeth as she became wracked with guilt. ]]> 2021-03-28 04:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1360734092 cstriegel4514 https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1363695099  In Macbeth, there is a clear presentation of the fight to decide what is right or wrong. "“The time approaches that will due decision make us know what we shall say.” (Act V) Macbeth made decisions for his own personal gain, doing what he believes is right. He wanted the best for himself and his wife, showing his care for Lady Macbeth, albeit perhaps in a wrongful way, as he searches for a cure for her. “The devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear.” (Act V) Macbeth is seen by others as a source of evil, even referring to the man as the devil itself. Macbeth in the beginning of the play could be considered a loyal, brave man. He is transformed, however, by the decisions he makes throughout the narrative. Macbeth struggles to decide what choices he should make, and clearly did not consider his repercussions enough until it was too late.  Act V produces a judgement day for Macbeth, and he receives punishment from the bad choices that he made.  “I will not yield, To kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet,” (Act V) The ground symbolizes surrender, to which Macbeth does not succumb to even at the end. It becomes obvious that Macbeth lost the fight between Good and Evil, and fell victim to desire and blind ambition. He became the evil in the story, and ambition was his source of destruction and also causation of evil. ]]> 2021-03-29 12:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1363695099 jworley6580 https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1363925491 Macbeth is the story of a coup, and then a counter coup. Act 5 is the counter coup, which as an event, is not usually very successful. After the first coup is successful its difficult to undo their power because they immediately entrench themselves in their positions, like Macbeth tried to do when he attempted to kill everyone who he thought might overthrow him. 
Coup attempts tend to lead to more coup attempts. The new king might have more to worry about than just Macbeth. You can see modern day Macbeth's in a lot of modern coups, The 1960 Angolan coup had a lot of political killings, and then after a counter coup, the next government put a stop to the political killings of the previous. It can turn into a vicious cycle like Thailand with its ten successful coups. Hopefully for Malcolm and Siward the citizens of Macbeth's kingdom didn't have any hardcore loyalists.

With Malcolm being encouraged to continue fighting from beyond the grave. "Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done" Once Malcolm has completed his journey and regained the crown for his family and for his father's legacy, he can find peace. With his father's death avenged Malcolm can carry on his father's legacy. "On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune" This line represents Malcolm having to overcome the grief of his father's death and continue his mission of the war.]]> 2021-03-29 13:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cstriegel4514/ruwt2e61edbo85pz/wish/1364058695
