“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

    The most thought-provoking quotation from Shakespeare’s Macbeth could arguably be “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” (V.v.21-30). It is perhaps one of the most chilling and disturbing quotations; possibly because it, for some, is an echo of our own thoughts.…

    One would say that being bipolar in today’s society isn’t that bad of a mental disease, but when you throw that mental disease into the power of a potential king, you live on a day to day basis and never know what could happen in the blink of an eye. Bipolar Disorder is one of the oldest mental disorders and its symptoms have been molded by differing theories over time until it actually had its own classification. For many years, Bipolar Disorder was linked to Schizophrenia. The founder of this disorder, Francois Baillarger, was finally successful in separating the two disorders and Emeril Krapelin finally acclaimed the title "manic depression" in 1913.…

    William Shakespeare in The Tragedy of Macbeth written in the 17th century dramatizes the tragic hero and Macbeth’s tragic flaw of ambition, which ultimately results in his downfall. Shakespeare wrote this play to show how too much ambition can have adverse consequences on the human condition. This tragedy follows the true story of a historical Macbeth, an eleventh century king of Scotland who usurped the throne after killing his predecessor. In The Tragedy of Macbeth, ambition is Macbeth’s tragic flaw that permeates the dramatic structure. The tragic flaw serves to develop him as a character over the course of the play. Macbeth begins the play as a very strong and well respected and honored man and develops into a very evil person and ends the play meeting his death with courage and bravery. His ambition causes these developments. Shakespeare used Macbeth’s tragic flaw and his development over the course of the play to portray the theme of too much ambition can cause someone to do awful things they wouldn’t do otherwise.…

    This theme was established in the beginning of the play when the three witches said, “Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” It says that good is bad and bad is good. Macbeth was shown as a noble and honorable man, but he is actually a ruthless murderer. Macbeth, a courageous man that serves his king, changes his feelings after he heard the three witches’ prophecies. The prophecies sounded really pleasant to Macbeth except these prophecies are what lead to Macbeth’s downfall. These prophecies made Macbeth from a respected nobleman to a ruthless murderer killing anyone to secure his seat as king. Macbeth uses his deceiving looks to plot the murders. When Duncan was staying in Macbeth’s home, Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth,” False face must hide what the false heart doth know”, which meant that they will pretend to welcoming while also planning on murdering Duncan. Macbeth also used this method to kill Banquo. Macbeth invites Banquo to his home while sending three murderers to kill him.…

    Guilt is a major emotion. It can affect many parts of one’s life or body. Most of the time people, who have the guilt, deserve it for something they’ve done wrong. It can lead to hallucinations or death. “Kings are not born: they are made by universal hallucination.” Hallucinations are a sensory experience of something that does not exist outside the mind, caused by various physical and mental disorders. In the tragedy Macbeth, there are many hallucinations and visions that affect the characters and change the play. Macbeth was written in 1606 by William Shakespeare. It’s about a man named Macbeth who is the tragic hero of the play. Macbeth and Banquo are walking and they are stopped by some witches who reveal a prophecy that Macbeth will one day be thane of Cawdor and king, and that Banquo’s son will one day be a king as well. So the first two prophecies come true, and the rest of the play is about how Macbeth will make sure the Banquo’s son will not be king, and how Macbeth will stay in power.…

    Shakespeare invites alternate readings with supernatural effects and Macbeth is one of his most powerful plays because he includes evil witches that make it hard to control your destiny and unnatural settings lead to Macbeth’s own mind disease. No literary work is wreathed in superstition more than Macbeth. Shakespeare is famous for contrasting imagery within his plays to develop characterization, make a point, or establish an atmosphere. Shakespeare makes the point of Macbeth invocating evil spirits because he is possessed by the witches by contrasting natural and supernatural events. He also leaves the reader to decide if his actions are provoked by his fear and wishes to be king or is it the supernatural forces troubling him. The supernatural occurrences play a huge part in Macbeth.…
