She is draining Macbeth so much and manipulating him so he will do what she says and go along with her plan. She is telling him over and over again that if he doesn't kill the King he is a coward and barely a man. At one point even she says she wishes she could be a man to do it herself. She is taking that heart out of him, not the other way around.

In the scene you see Lady Macbeth, asleep, so terrified and out of her mind. I don't think interpreting Lady Macbeth's character in that scene as putting heart into her husband is way off. She is speaking out loud her internal conflict she has been feeling this whole time which is when we get to realize that she is not mentally stable after the murder.

I think that Lady Macbeth always had a very complex side, even when you couldn't see it. Freud says that "Beforehand there is no hesitation, no sign of any internal conflict in her (Lady Macbeth." There were no clear signs but I do believe we could infer that she has some issues because of the way she acts. For example, normally people don't have such violent intentions and that I think is a sign of internal conflict in itself.

I think that when you have doubts about something, like the cake vs friends example I gave before, you had doubts about making your moms birthday cake because you want to hang out with your friends so they dont get mad at you. It seems like a pretty easy issue but this conflict could lead to the realization of many other issues such as anxiety and paranoia. It takes a strong person to see an issue such as this, but to figure out where its rooted from is even harder and often shocking.

When you want to do something, whether for you, someone else or the world as a whole, you can doubt yourself and the decision you want to make. For example, its your moms birthday and you want to make her a cake but instead you go out with your friends, because you know they will be mad if you dont, and forget about the cake. You knew making the cake was the right thing but you would rather spend time with your friends and not get in a fight with them. Your conscience can make you doubt everything.

It can become meaningless because people say its a load of bs and they deny it.

I didnt know you could group all of these ideas into one topic so this is interesting to me to hear about this.

She is sleepwalking and hallucinating.

This is what I think really makes Macbeth give up on life. He feels really bad after this happens, within good reason, his wife died. This moment is very important.

I wonder what kind of rhyme scheme this is? I also wonder what the autors intention in making them speak this way? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:55:53 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504753 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504753 There is something off about Macbeths enthusiasm about Banquo being the guest of honor. Its as if Macbeth is trying to butter him up or something. Its all just a little suspicious. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:57:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504737 I think Banquo is afraid of what Macbeth has already done. He is afraid that Macbeth has killed the king, which he did. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:57:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504704 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1504704 Macbeth needs to be more careful with who he talks to the murder about and when he talks about it because eventually he will get caught talking about it if he isnt careful.

Its like his past actions are coming back to haunt him and torture him. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:57:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501148 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501148 Macbeth gets so so afraid of this that he ends up killing Banquo out of spite. Macbeth is so focused on being King and having his success that he will do anything for it even kill his best friend. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:57:09 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501113 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501113 I feel like Macbeth can sense/feel Banquos suspicion here so he is inviting him to a big feast/dinner to butter him up and try to get him to keep it to himself. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:57:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501006 https://nowcomment.com/documents/157213?scroll_to=1501006 After hearing Banquo says this it makes me think that he is starting to get some suspicions about Macbeth and what happened with King Duncan. He is beginning to actually be smart and get ideas that Macbeth was the murderer of Duncan.

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:58:27 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1498418 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1498418 Right in this moment is a crucial moment. This is when Macduff discovers the kings body, cold and dead. I wonder what is going through Macbeths head during this, how is he feeling. He doesnt seem to be panicking.

He makes many satanic references here for example, Beelzebub, equivocate to heaven, and devil-porter. Does this mean anything about his character? Is he a demonic presence in the story? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:58:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488734 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:58:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488730 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:58:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488721 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488721 I agree with this because when Macbeth sees the dagger, he realizes what power he has with it. He knows that with this dagger, he can do whatever he wants and get whatever he wants. Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:58:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488702 https://nowcomment.com/documents/155840?scroll_to=1488702 Macbeth doesnt want Banquo to think that Macbeth has any tie to the murder of King Duncan. He cant make it seem like hes a suspect.

War is a traumatizing thing for anyone and now Banquo is suffering from flashbacks.

He discovered that he will become king and the thane of cawdor, but he wont just get there.

I have heard so many things about Macbeth and now I really get to read it. I am struggling with understanding the language and what everything means.
