Last post of the year....Holy

cow.

The problem is that Macbeth will do anything, I mean ANYTHING to get that throne. He went from Thane of Cawdor to King of Scotland in a matter of da- wait. I can't do this.

I can't believe this my last post ever in Dr. D's class. I am tearing up just thinking about it. To everyone reading this, I hope these words along with my posts throughout the year have brought happiness at times, other times sadness. I thank you graciously for all the comments and hope that everyone had as great of a time blogging as me. Thank you.

Anyway,
Macbeth has all this power, and oh boy does he take advantage of it. I think this is the most central theme of Macbeth because everything that happens in the play is because of Macbeth's hunger for power. The issue begins when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth kill Duncan so he can assume the throne, just as the prophecy said. This goes along with one of the play's themes: power corrupts. The power is the knowledge that Macbeth can do anything and he will still be king. That power corrupts Macbeth.

Macbeth Quotes

"I am in blood

Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more

Returning were as tedious as go over" 

This is Macbeth speaking with lady Macbeth, and he is basically saying that he has done so much harm that it would be just as hard to try and fix them as it would be to keep killing. This foreshadows that more killing is to come, and also that something untoward may happen to Macbeth.

"Fair is foul and foul is fair"

This is the chant that the three witches sing while they make their potions, and it seems to be a central theme of the play. Macbeth blurs the lines of foul and fair many a time, and it shows us that Macbeth is willing to do anything for power.
