- People who are not evil usually go down a path of evil because the reward will outweigh the risk. In our society, people steal things or sell drugs or do drugs because what they get from it is more rewarding than the risk of getting caught. When going down this road to evil the guilt builds up in a person mind . Take for example when Macbeth was told by the murder that Banquo was killed the guilt instantly went to work. The evidence is in the text when Macbeth "sees" the ghost of Banquo sit in his chair.
This manifestation of Macbeth's guilt comes out as he is trying to place blame on other people for the death of Banquo, not himself. His guilt is so much that he has an outburst and starts yelling at something that no one else can see."This is the very painting of your fear: This is the air-drawn dagger which, you said, Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts, Impostors to true fear would well become A woman's story at a winter's fire, Authorized by her grandam. Shame itself! Why do you make such faces? When all's done, You look but on a stool."
QUESTION 2
Shakespeare would agree to a major extent with that statement that I'm too lazy to restate. Seeing that during the time period that Shaky lived King James was using his power to start his own religion and corrupting him and allowing to benefit his own goals. But it's very evident in his play "Macbeth" when Macbeth is crowned king he fears only one thing, the prophecy from the weird sisters. He fears Banquo and his son Fleance because of what the prophecy foretold. He takes his absolute power and uses to kill his best friend. He has corrupted absolutely to the point where killing his best friend seemed reasonable to do and beneficial to him.
QUESTION 3
In my own life, I feel that everything is done is by chance or choice. I do everything to myself and it usually never works out the way I want it to but ya know you just gotta take it as it comes because you won't stay long. Never once have I believed some supernatural force is dictating my life, it would be great if they were because then I could blame them for all the terrible things that happen to me on a daily basis. But my life is based on my choices. In Macbeth, I think he's going for the same idea that everything that is happening to Macbeth is because of his choices and sometimes things happen coincidentally that make it appear to be supernatural, the dichotomy of appearance vs reality. Take for example when the witches said he would be the Thane of Cawdor and Macbeth was like what no way I can't that dude is alive but it turned out we were a traitor. Macbeth did not think or know that he was a traitor and thought what the weird sisters had said was true beans.
QUESTION 4
Ok well its dinner time in like 5 mins and my moms made chicken parmesan and she makes a mean chicken parmesan so imma have to go in sec sorry... so this answer might seem short
Ok, this question seems really of topics but imma give it my best shot. So in modern times men aren't as hilarious and nice I guess because nice guys finish last is what the toolbags say these days. Manhood today is something that people also consider bad, being a man is bad being a man makes you sexist and you objectify women and you're a horrible person no matter what. But in Macbeth manhood is regarded as honest and proud of what you have done. ITS DINNER TIME,
