They both wish for children yet they are childless which is where a lot of their motivation comes from. Macbeth wants children so that his blood is his successor and possibly for more reasons. And one thing we talked about is is that LM may want to be Queen so bad so she can avoid the fact that she doesn't have a child. Children motivate both of them and I think it is clear that children have a major role in the lives of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Macbeth killed Duncan for her, and she then became queen. But after she got all of this she felt so much regret for what she did and as you said got swallowed by her fears. And eventually she lost touch with reality and killed herself.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1542418 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1542418 Maybe it is simply just because he wants his bloodline in the royal family to last a long time so that he can be remembered, but I think there is more to it. Maybe Macbeth has a fear of death and after killing Duncan and the death of his child he realized how death is inevitable. And maybe because of that he feels like if he has children his name will live forever so it is like he will live forever. Or possibly maybe he is in denial of his first child's death so now he wants another child so he can avoid the truth of what happened to his first child. There could be a lot going on but I definitely think it is more than just his family being royal forever.

But maybe Macbeth has something going on in his unconscious that caused him to act like this and the murder and becoming king were triggers for him. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1542403 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1542403 In the beginning of the play LM was ruthless and unstoppable because she was so desperate to kill the king. Even though LM was like that at the start, Macbeth had sympathy for Duncan and was not as eager to kill Duncan. However at the end of the play LM was not as ruthless, she had regret. But when LM became changed Macbeth also changed. At the end of the play as Freud said Macbeth "has become as inexorable as she had been in the beginning" This shows that in the beginning LM was ruthless but Macbeth was not but then at the end it is like they switched places because Macbeth was ruthless while LM had regret for the things she did and was not ruthless.

And that probably made him want to study psychoanalysis even more so he could understand it and show others how our minds work.

Characters also behave certain ways because of things they go through which is exactly what happens to real people. Characters can be analyzed based on their story and actions which can further the research of psychoanalysis. In other words analyzing characters can help to analyze people.

Saying it defines us is much different than saying it is part of us. A person's sexuality is part of their identity but it does not define who they are. Freud is saying that sexuality is a part of our identity and is related to the amount of pleasure a person feels in ways that aren't generally considered sexual. So yes our sexuality can be related to how we act, it does not define our identity.

Additionally some people think it is wrong for people to have sex if it isn't a male and female. While there are many people who just say that people should make their own choices there will always be the people that tell us what to do and what not to do which affects the choices people make. And even if we say don't listen to others everyone is always listening to what others have to say about them.

And for some people this may be a big deal because they just like having sex and then not having sex may affect them. Or maybe that person likes sex because of a core issue they have so not having sex could affect them. But there are also people that don't need sex all the time so it isn't really a punishment.

This is clearly showing that she is going through something. A woman with no problems wouldn't ask spirits to take her milk for gall.

I feel like everyone has everyone has an internal conflict. Even someone in a perfect relationship, with a perfect job, and loving friends and family, even those people who we view as having the perfect life are going through something. And maybe they themselves don't realize it yet which is why they don't show any signs but everyone has an internal conflict.

Like the author said people feel neglected when they miss out on something. And it could be that my friends actually feel neglection from someone else because they were invited to hang out with us, but in my case I think she just felt like she would miss everything because she wasn't there, and that she won't be part of a conversation because she wasn't there. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529829 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529829 I think that a fear of one thing can lead to the fear of something else. For example, the fear of abandonment and betrayal can lead to the fear of intimacy. Because if a perosn feels abondoned, or betrayed that person may be to scared to opn up to anyone else and then have the fear of intimacy.

And I feel this way because I feel like I need to be enough for my parents. And I think that a lot of children feel this way. That they need to be enough for their parents, and even their friends.

So I uderstand that people have this fear because they feel like they can't trust their friends.

And now that person may be to scared to get close with someone again because they don't want to hurt themselves again. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529765 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529765 As we go through friendships and relationships people get hurt.And, sometimes everntually that relationship may reach an end causing people to seperate themselves so that they can't get hurt anymore. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529764 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529764 Many people suffer through horrible experiences but eventually get through it. As an example if an adult suffered a horrible childhood what if they return to those horrible experiences. Meaning that revisiting those memories actually harms a person. If that happend how would thta help someone. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529762 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529762 Additionally it isn't just that we don't know how to change. I think it is that unconsciously we know what we are doing and how to change but we fear that change and what it will do so we stay the same. Because we have formed these identities around our destructive behavior which is related to our unconscious self, so I think everyone knows how to change they we just all fear change without admitting it.

If the unconscious is free in dreams and makes us dream what we do which can be scary how is that safe. Shouldn't our unconscious realize what objects symbolize in our dream and realize how scary our dreams can be. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529545 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529545 Since our dreams are part of our unconscious when we dream about something from our conscious it may be some form of communication. If something happens to us and we think we have healed, later in life we may have a dream (controlled by our unconscious) trying to remind us that we still need to heal. So while the unconscious and conscious work at different times they can communicate, and that can be through dreams.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529496 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529496 The author is giving these example through the perspective of an adult, but what if it was a child. Especially if it is a child dreaming this. The author says that the child represents it's wounds from childhood. But what if a child is dreaming this, is it just the wounds that the child is feeling at the moment. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529489 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529489 Many times I wake up and can't remember anything so I wonder whether or not I dreamed. People will always tell me I did dream because we always dream but I sometimes think that I never dreamed some nights. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529487 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529487 This is talking a lot about analyzing dreams and the symbols they hold. But what if when we dream we don't realize that there is something symbolic, and we just let it go, and it continues to harm unconsciously , but we can't do anything about it because we don't realize it's happening. Additionally it says that we must understand what people represent in our dreams, but would first understanding what is happening to us in the real world help understand our dreams. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529474 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529474 But that means that unconsciously we know the truth to something happening in our life but we let ourselves know because we are scared for what will happen when our conscious knows. Something else that this makes me wonder is why do we sometimes forget we dreamt at all. Or why is it that when we dream, and then wake up we remember dreaming but we can't put the pieces together and can't really remember what happened but do remember what happened. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529468 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529468 But if we are being protected then why do we have nightmares. If we are supposed to be protected from frightening insights then why when we dream we have nightmares and see frightening insights. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518468 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518468 I think the brief candle is life. And LM's candle has been blown out because she is dead. And soon Macbeth's candle will be out as well. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518467 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518467 The army from England is coming to his castle and Macbeth is saying that if so many of his troops didn't betray him that his army could have made England surrender. He is probably doing this to make himself feel better because he knows he has no chance. It is possible that if his troops didn't betray him Macbeth's army could have had a chance but now Macbeth has no chance. That is why is saying these things to make him feel like he still have some power. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518464 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518464 The gentlewoman is the only one who has seen Lady Macbeth sleepwalking. This probably makes the docor believe her any less. If someone was told something this crazy it is hard to believ them if the person saying it is the only witness. Just like in real life. If someone told me someone else was doing something crazy but the person telling me is the oly witness it would be hard to believe them. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518463 Lady Macbeth started sleepwalking when Macbeth left. This is probably for a reason. Maybe it's that Lady Macbeth is to scared to admit her feeling to Macbeth in person so she has been sleeptalking to him and telling him these things. Or maybe the witches are controling her. And since Macbeth isn't there it is the perfect chance for the witches to control her and cloud her mind with these thoughts. Or maybe it is something else. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1518462 The doctor says he perceives no truth in the gentlewoman's report. This means the doctor doesn't believe her. I think this is because as the doctor said he watched Lady Macbeth the past two night but didn't dee anything happen. And now that the gentlewoman is saying this he has no reason to believe her. But tonight Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking, the doctor just has to wait to see it in person. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515281 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515281 When Macduff was king many people ran away in fear. But now that Malcolm is king the thanes, kinsemen, noblemen, and Malcolm are going to start a new era in Scotalnd. And one of their first steps is going to be letting poepl know that they can return home.

And since Macbeth is dead Malcolm is king of Scotland.

Macbeth won't surrender because he doesn't want Malcolm to be his king. But I think it is more than that I think that Macbeth wants to die a man not a coward.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515275 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515275 Macduff was ripped out of his mothers stomach so he wasn't technically born of a woman. But since Macbeth doesn't know this he still thinks he can defeat Macduff because only someone who was not born of a woman can hurt him. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515259 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515259 Macbeth knows that because of the prophecies that no matter what he will die. But Macbeth is still preparing for war, this is probably because he wants to die as much of a man as he can. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515258 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515258 Macbeth yelled at the messenger because of what the messenger saw. The messenger saw the Burnam Wood moving and one of the witches prophecies was that when Birnam Wood comes against Macbeth is when Macbeth would die. The Birnam Wood is moving because an army created by Macduff and Malcolm is arriving to overthrow Macbeth. This frightens Macbeth because he knows that the witches tell the truth so now Macbeth is scared that it is his time to die. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515257 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1515257 Macbeth is saying she should have dies hereafter. Does that mean that Macbeth is saying she would have died later? I think Macbeth knew that LM was in an unstable place so he knew that she was going to do something soon. And this also makes me think that Macbeth doesn't really care that she is dead. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514771 That cry is the cry of a woman and that woman is LM. LM screams because she killed herself. It is unclear what Shakespeare thought Lady Macbeth did to kill herself because it done offstage and all is heard if her scream. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514751 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514751 The doctor is calling the things LM is doing "Unnatural", and "infected". So that is probably why at the end of the scene the doctor says to the Gentlewoman that they should not speak of what they witnessed LM do and say. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514740 LM probably also feels guilt for the deaths of Macduff's family. Did LM know that Macbeth killed Macduff's family which is why she feels guilt for their deaths? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514720 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514720 While Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking and sleep talking she is admitting to killing Duncan. Lady Macbeth is talking about the blood of an old man which is the blood she sees on her hands. And now the gentlewoman and doctor know that she helped kill Duncan. And she is also talking about the Thane of Thife and his Wife, who are Macduff and Lady Macduff. And LM is saying "Where is she now?" which makes the gentlewoman and doctor think that LM and Macbeth are responsible for the deaths of Macduff's family. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514694 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514694 Lady Macbeth is seeing Duncan's blood on her hands. In the beginning of the play when Lady Macbeth and Macbeth killed Duncan, LM returned the daggers, and she smeared Duncan's blood all over the grooms. And that blood that was on her hands washed off but only the literal blood. Now her guilty conscious is making her see the blood. She is seeing it because she feels bad for what she did. And the blood is not coming out because she can't just wash out her guilt. So the blood on her hands represents her guilt for killing Duncan. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514671 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514671 This means that Lady Macbeth has her eyes open but she isn't really seeing anything. Lady Macbeth is seeing what her mind is making her see. And in her case her mind is making her see spots. I think that LM's senses being shut doesn't just mean that she can't see but also that isn't in control of what she sees. Similar to like how you can't control what you dream LM does't have control when she is sleepwalking.

I would imagine that the gentlewoman is scared because LM is sleepwalking and acting weird which is why she got the doctor Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507211 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507211 Ross knows that a war is coming because Ross saw Macbeth's army on the move and heard rumors of a rebellion. So now Ross is asking for Macduff's help so that they can have an army to defeat Macbeth.

Ross is saying that Scotland is not the same as it was when they were born but that it is now their grave. Saying it is their grave could mean different things. One is that it is their grave because it is a dark place that has an unfit king. But it is also their grave because Macduff is a traitor so if Macduff goes back to Scotland and is found by Macbeth he will be killed.

So does Malcolm no long support Macbeth and now wants to follow Macduff.

He mentions this to Malcolm to show that he is nothing like his father because of everything that Malcolm stands for by saying that Macbeth is a good king. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507154 As Macduff talks about how evil Macbeth is Malcolm is saying that Macbeth is a good king. Malcolm even admits that he knows Macbeth is murderous and has done awful things but Malcolm is saying that Macbeth is a better king than he could ever be.

This shows how much anger Macduff has towards Macbeth which is why Macduff wants to kill Macbeth so bad.

Losing hope, and finding doubt. And then Malcolm brings up that Macduff is a bad person for leaving his family in Scotland where Macbeth is king therefore making it a dangerous place for the family of someone who is a traitor. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507131 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507131 Malcolm is talking about finding doubts and Macduff is talking about losing hope. This makes me wonder if Macduff isn't talking about losing hope in Scotland but actually in Malcolm. Maybe Macduff is losing hope in Malcolm because I noticed that during their conversation it seemed that Malcolm was hinting to not wanting to kill Macbeth. So maybe that is why Macduff is losing hope. And when Macduff lost hope in Malcolm that is when Malcolm found doubt in Macduff.

But he is also saying that Macbeth was once a good, honest, and loyal man. This makes me wonder if Malcolm wants to kill Macbeth.

But since Macduff ran away the Murderers killed Macduff's son. And then they continued and chased down Lady Macduff to then kill her and the rest of Macduff's family.

Since Macduff ran away to join forces with another country Lady Macduff is saying he is a traitor. But she doesn't know the reason that Macduff ran away which was to get an army to defeat Macbeth because Macbeth is a tyrant. And since Lady Macduff doesn't know this she is mad at Macduff for leaving them and therefore telling her son that his father is a traitor and that traitors should be hanged.

But since Macduff ran away and left them she considers her son fatherless because no father should run away from their family.

She probably thinks he is a selfish man for only caring about keeping himself safe and leave her and their family in a dangerous place.

Maybe Macbeth decided to kill Macduff's family as a way to possibly get macduff to fear him and then surrender.

And because of this prophecy Macbeth believes he has no reason to fear Macduff. But actually when Macduff's mother gave birth she had a c section so technically Macduff was not born of a woman and can harm Macbeth. But Macbeth does't know this.

He probably wants to be given more prophecies because he is scared of someone killing him and taking his power and he wants to be prepared.

I think this because Banquo was Macbeth's friend and then he killed him because he wants to stay king. And now he is seeing Banquos ghost but doesn't want to see him and think it is because he feels guilty.

But Lady Macbeth knows that Macbeth is going crazy but she wants to have this banquet so she lies to the guests to keep them there.

But Macbeth is the only one who sees the ghost and none of the guests see him but Macbeth doesn't know this. And since we know something that Macbeth does not this is dramatic irony.

He is threatened by Banquo's son because of the prophecies which said Banquo would be father to a king. This shows why they have not killed the snake because something still stands in the way of Macbeth to be king with nothing in his way.
