Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542399 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542399 he describes this as the "death Drive") to his patients Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542396 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542396 it looks like some choose to treat death as a mere abstraction of its actuality. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542381 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542381 the fear of death is apparently a driving factor for humans no matter their life experiences. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542378 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542378 the passage explains how that person's parents encouraged their child's guilt as a way to avoid their own. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542376 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542376 wether it is emotional or physical- if a person becomes traumatized then it will leave a deep scar in their life- and perhaps make them fear the world even more. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542373 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1542373 all fears seem to be linked to and rooted in a fear of death/dying. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540423 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540423 both of them are driven by ambition; but when they are able to get everything they dreamed of, they don't feel content- and instead commit to remorse- and/or get swallowed in their fears and lose touch with reality. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540422 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540422 perhaps he saw the increased stress that Macbeth endured while planning new murders. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540421 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540421 the fear or being replaced by Banquo's child was so powerful it drove Macbeth insane- making schemes and failed assassination attempts to secure the throne for himself. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540420 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540420 it seems like Macbeth is unable to find closure and live contently- even after getting everything he wanted (becoming king). This is most likely the cause of very high expectations that the king projected upon the life of a king and powerful leader. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540419 he sates that they have been pushed to do the things they did by a buildup of tension and stress from their lives. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540418 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540418 is this perhaps because of a build up of stressful events that she had to go through? why didn't she reach her breaking point sooner and stop some of the deaths from occurring? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540417 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1540417 despite being through many psychological stressors, Lady Macbeth remains calm through the banquet where her husband is having a breakdown. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539788 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539788 this also further proves the newfound mental instability of Lady Macbeth. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539787 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539787 perhaps this alludes to the act of avoidance that freud speaks about during his psychoanalytic theories. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539785 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539785 he also notes the emotions that he thinks Lady Macbeth was experiencing during that time- in order to fully understand her point of view Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539783 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539783 she notes that she wouldn't kill her father- and therefore refuses to kill anyone who looks like him by herself; showing that Lady Macbeth feels remorse at least a little bit. A product of this action, however, is the amount of manipulation that insues on Macbeth to convince him to kill. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539782 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539782 Freud says that she seems to be very determined and decisive in order to reach her goals (murder). Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539780 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539780 Freud explains how much Lady Macbeth has also effected Macbeth's own mental state- being the one who convinced him to murder the king. Lady Macbeth also is described as having little remorse for her actions until she begins to feel guilt. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539776 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539776 Freud seems to think that fictional characters can be analyzed by his methods. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:11 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539774 https://nowcomment.com/documents/161758?scroll_to=1539774 the study of human psychology seems pretty difficult however, sine there is a lack of scientific resources on the subject to refer to. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:55:10 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530285 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530285 through methods of dream-interpretation; one can be able to understand all of their internal issues, and help work through them. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530284 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530284 certain issues can be seen in someone's character- and can lead them to do things that maybe others- with their own respective core issues; wouldn't consider doing. These issues can end up governing people's lives- and the way that they perceived reality; all stemming from their subconscious tendencies and past impactful memories. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530283 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530283 self-deprivation, and the act of believing that the subject is not good enough can potentially cause them to create mental blocks for themselves- disabling them from doing certain things (since they'd possibly believe that they shouldn't even attempt due to fear of failure); possibly leading them into an even worse state of mind. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530282 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530282 since they feel like they've been hurt by those around them; the subjects in question would most likely not want to seek out help in fear that those trying to help them will also hurt them in the end in an act of betrayal. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530281 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530281 anxiety for example, can really highlight one's internal struggles with themselves, since it shows what they are most fearful of doing based on past traumatic experiences. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530280 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530280 the act of secluding oneself could be set up by the fear of getting hurt by similar experiences that made them feel lonely in the first place. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530279 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530279 due to all of the repressed memories one can forcibly remember whilst they are sleeping- many may think that dreams can be scary- but in actuality its just the subconscious ' way of working through and rationalizing certain events that have effected us, usually leading to the ability to understand our issues and work through them over time. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530278 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530278 usually when subjects have reoccurring dreams with very similar symbolism- it represents the many struggles that they could be dealing with throughout their lives. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530277 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530277 it seems like memories from a subject's childhood are the most prevalent in the subconscious mind- later governing what they subconsciously perceive in their lives. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530276 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530276 why cant that dream be a representation of something else in this scenario? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530261 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530261 this explains how dreams can seem like projections of past events that we've been effected by in the past- while being completely interpreted by our subconscious. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530246 if a subject were to correctly interpret their dreams they could possibly learn more about the issues that they are facing- and allow them to reflect as well as figure out ways to work things out for themselves. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530245 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530245 even though the subject could believe that the situations that they are seeing are very real- it is important to be able to discern whether certain aspects of the dream are in context or not- since misunderstandings of these dreams could lead to further negative affiliations. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530244 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530244 it seems that dreams have the ability to make the subject manifest content- rather than understanding that it is a matter of interpretation. This usually leads to the subject remembering the dream in a certain way- most likely in order to further protect themselves, by forgetting the parts that they might have deemed as traumatic and tried to repress. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530236 events that might transpire in a subject's dreams can be reflections of deeper and reoccurring issues that the person is being subjected to- as a way to make sense and reflect on those (mainly) traumatic experiences. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530233 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530233 the text states that sometimes subjects will place certain people in their dreams as a "stand-in" for specific emotions; as a part of dream displacement. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530229 this shows that the subconscious still utilizes defense mechanisms that it would regularly use to repress certain things- even though during sleep it has the power to express itself wit very little limitations. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530225 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1530225 the passage notes how during sleep our subconscious feels "free" to do what it wants- expressing itself in subliminal ways that regularly; when the subject is awake, cannot occur. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529555 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529555 aspects of psychoanalytic theorem can be seen in various examples of literature. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529548 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529548 most people behave a certain way due to past experiences that subconsciously govern their minds and lead them to do specific things. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529528 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529528 this issue of incorrect interpretation could allow for misunderstandings and lead to cliches surrounding the subject- pushing people away from getting professional help, and making them continue on hurting themselves with unhealthy behaviors. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529517 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529517 psychoanalytic concepts can help people identify why issues like family problems, complexes, and defense mechanisms; stem from deep-seared and repressed memories and traumatic experiences. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529506 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529506 this shows how even the most mundane of behaviors and thoughts of a subject can be considered reflections of psychoanalytic concepts. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529497 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529497 many concepts can be seen as reflections of our actions- mostly governed by our subconscious. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529491 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529491 this method could end up helping those who seem haunted by their past- by revisiting certain events that might have caused them pain upon remembering, and helping them work through it. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529484 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529484 regression allows for new emotions to be associated with past events that might have been traumatic before- since it allows for subjects to work through past experiences that might have been painful for them. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:48 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529472 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529472 selective memory and perception only allow for only what the subject perceives as "un-painful" to be remembered; and even goes as far as to subconsciously modify memories based off of events that seem "overwhelming" to the subject. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529462 the mind used repression, selective memory, denial, avoidance, displacement and projection to avoid what they do not wish to deal with. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529460 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529460 this shows how human would rather try to run away from their issues- pushing them into the subconscious, rather than facing and overcoming them. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:50 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529459 https://nowcomment.com/documents/160745?scroll_to=1529459 there seem to be destructive side effects to this subconscious behavior. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:53:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517127 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517127 Macduff declares his revenge and kills Macbeth with one sword hit. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517123 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517123 the resilience of Macbeth during this attack might allude to Macbeth not being able to understand the risks that his actions have- perhaps as a side-effect from having mental instability to begin with, and now on top of the loss of his wife; and partner in crime. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517121 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517121 Macduff is finally able to avenge his family- whom was slaughtered by the merciless orders of Macbeth when he was in power over everyone. Now that Macbeth has lost his wife- he seems like he has completely lost touch, adapting this perceived feeling of indestructibleness; that could very well lead to his downfall. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517117 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517117 as mentioned previously, the motif of the knell/bell has been repeated on many different occasions- symbolizing death, and in this scene the death of the protagonist- Macbeth. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517115 they all celebrate the liberation of their country- as well as the defeat of their murderous tyrant. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517110 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517110 Macbeth becomes overconfident in himself- thinking that he is indestructible since the witches said that only someone who is not born of a woman can kill him. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517108 This statement coming from Malcom somewhat mirrors Macbeth's previous comment; however with a more honorable tone- since at this point, Macbeth is more of a villain. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517092 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517092 Malcom seems to trust Macduff, and they exchange words of encouragement to fight their last battle. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517072 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517072 the motif of the bell is yet again prevalent in this scene. Since the bell might most likely represent death- directly matching up with this scene. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517069 Macbeth seems to take his anger out on others- and demonstrates this by threatening to hang the innocent messenger for bringing him news that he disapproved of. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517067 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517067 Macbeth becomes absolutely furious and yells at the messenger who brought him the news about the moving trees- Macbeth has this reaction since he realizes that all of what the witches said was going to happen, is coming true. Macbeth most likely became quite frightened and perhaps lost his grasp on reality even more due to this shock. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517066 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517066 how will this effect Macbeth, and his already deteriorating mental state? Will Macbeth carry on as the confident and ruthless tyrant that he has been up until now? Who will plan everything out for Macbeth now that the queen is gone? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517047 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1517047 Macbeth explains that the screams that he had heard reminds him of his murderous tendencies. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516917 this statement from Macbeth suggests that Macbeth doesn't fear death because he believes that there is n chance of him ever getting beaten (even though the witch's prophesies have not been incorrect this far).

Perhaps now that Macbeth has had time to think about what he has done to deserve what is about to happen- he has finally made up his mind that a life in fear is not worth living (since he was extremely paranoid of those around him- lading to more and more murders) Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516890 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516890 this statement from Macbeth, shows that he is without fear- even though he knows this will be his final day.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516873 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516873 does this mean that the whole kingdom knows of Macbeth's treachery? How was it possible that they found out about him being responsible for all of the murders? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516872 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516872 This situation regarding how the forces will be attacking from the place where the witches directly told Macbeth he would be defeated- shows that the witch's prophesies may stay true until the very end. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516857 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516857 the doctor suggests a priest rather than a physician, like himself- in order to assist the queen. This statement is also a touch ironic, since Lady Macbeth had always been depicted as religious- even after Duncan's murder. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516856 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516856 the way that Lady Macbeth is still trying to command Macbeth to tell him what to do, even though she is completely unconscious- suggests that she is loosing power- regarding all of Macbeth's killings. This also suggests that she cannot move on from the past- since she is repeating lines she had spoken right after the murder of Duncan had succeeded. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516853 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1516853 the way the doctor stated that he could not help Lady Macbeth, probably alludes to not wanting to get caught up with everything the queen just confessed to- and was perhaps frightened that Macbeth would do something- if he told anyone about what was just said. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514769 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514769 This comment from Lady Macbeth, since it shows her decent into madness- much like what Macbeth experienced. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514752 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514752 Lady Macbeth makes a comment about the Macduff's wife- most likely referring to her being dead, while remarking her "unclean hands" some more. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514737 This subconsious slip of information would probably never happen with the fully consious Lady Macbeth - however, the gentle woman and the doctor don'tseem to pay too much mind to it- and were probably too terrified of the royal family to spread the news. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514706 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514706 This could possibly be a reference to how demanding Lady Macbeth was about washing off the blood (from king Duncan's murder). Could she be imagining that there is actual blood on her hand? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514684 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514684 this line regarding the amount of sleep someone has effecting their mental state directly parallels the comment Macbeth made about not being able to sleep, right before he declined into madness. This comparison proves the connection between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in terms of the aftereffects of murdering (or being involved). Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514653 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514653 the gentlewoman seems overall very concerned for Lady Macbeth, and explains how high-functioning the queen was even though she was asleep. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514650 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158075?scroll_to=1514650 initially, the doctor does not seem to believe the gentlewoman's stories about the queen sleepwalking and/or acting strangely. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:54:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507216 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507216 They say that the "night is long that never finds the day", a line that had appeared when Macbeth decided to kill Duncan in the beginning. This repetition might have not been intensional- however it brings the theme of revenge into light, and shows how contradictory it is to its intentions it can be, leading in murder, the very thing that it was iniciated to have payback for (possibly causing even more murder to transpire due to others continuing the cycle of revenge and murder). Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507204 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507204 Macduff formerly challenges Macbeth, in a match to the death; and decides to invade Scotland to get his revenge on Macbeth. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507199 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507199 Ross informs Macduff of what Macbeth had done to his wife, and his children in his absence- revealing that Macbeth was ruthless enough to murder Macduff's entire family in cold-blood. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507194 Malcom tells Macduff that he had to remain in England in order to not be subject to Macbeth's evils- and describes Macbeth as "a good king" ironically. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507183 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507183 He tells Macduff that he isn't just, reliable, stable, have the skills need to preserve a nation (and keep it at peace); he notes not having courage, fortitude bounty, patience, devotion, lowliness, mercy, or a way to act towards a crime in terms of morals. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507159 Malcom describes how the kingdom would be newly plagued with violence and disloyalty due to quarrels regarding wealth and riches between citizens of the kingdom- un regulated by any sort of system with Malcom in rule. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507144 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507144 They both make comments on how not even the worst of the worst, the most evil of all evils compare to Macbeth and the deeds that he has committed. This opinion about their current king, and ex-friend; show that Macbeth seems to have an unpopular and dishonorable front to him- pushing away his subjects, and causing them to be suspicious of his actions. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507127 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507127 Malcom speaks about how he would end up being a more tyrannous leaver if put in power; and describes how his jealousies make him dishonorable and unjust. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507008 Macbeth's treachery apparently made Macduff lose hope of the kingdom staying balanced with Macbeth now in power. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507007 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507007 Malcom and Macduff describe Macbeth as a traitor whom has betrayed them, as well as the rest of the kingdom. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507004 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507004 He described Macbeth as trustworthy and loyal in the beginning until he had taken over as king. The dialogue between Malcom and Macduff also seems to imply that they are suspicious of Macbeth being the one who murdered Duncan. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507003 Malcom and Macduff seem to be together as allies, in hiding from Macbeth and his tyranny. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507001 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1507001 The murderers sent by Macbeth seem to share the same view about Macduff being a traitor, as Lady Macduff had in the beginning; and seem to show to mercy, pay no regard to how Macduff isn't even there, and proceed to kill his entire innocent family. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1506999 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1506999 It seems as if the very same murderers that Macbeth had sent to kill Banquo have returned to eliminate Macduff's family; as Macbeth probably ordered them to. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1506998 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157786?scroll_to=1506998 This statement not only makes Lady Macduff's previous claim about Macduff already being dead a contradiction, but also highlights how she believes that all whom swear and lie should be executed. This exchange of dialogue suggests that perhaps Lady Macduff and her husband had their own issues before he disappeared. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:55:52 -0400
