Big Idea of Macbeth (Last Post of the Year)

I think that the main idea in Macbeth is guilt. In the book we see that the main characters often go through big guilt trips, especially Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, but first is the character Macduff. Although he starts his big lines later on in the book he has a feeling of guilt when he leaves his family to retrieve Malcom. When he returns he learns Macbeth sent murderers to his home and that his family is dead. He feels guilty for not being there to protect them.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth go through the most extreme guilt events. After Macbeth sends murders to kill his best friend Banquo he gets a little crazy. He eventually starts to see him as a ghost in a party. It scared many of his other friends and gave them and idea he might have killed Duncan. Lady Macbeth also gets so guilty she goes crazy. She starts sleep walking and eventually goes so insane she ends up killing herself.

Macbeth Quotes

If chance will have me king, why, chance may
   crown me
Without my stir.

Macbeth says this to Banquo right after the witches tell hime his prophecy. That he will become thane of Cawdor and that he will become king. What this quote means is that if by fate he will become the king then it will happen without him having to do anything. This is important because

Foul is fair and fair is foul

This quote is important because its the theme for most of the book. Things are going opposite when King Duncan dies. Owls eating Hawks and in the day its nighttime. Macbeth is murdering at if someone wants to do right and accuse him of murder, its wrong to Macbeth and that person dies.

My easter holiday was a blast! I had been waiting all year for it, because of the Orlando band trip. There are two trips every 4 years, one to Orlando and one that is out of the country. The trip over easter was awesome. I was roommates with Kazuki Niwano, Aadil Moosa, and Jacob Dewitt. We had selected those groups months before the trip even started! 

Every day was packed with somethings. The first full day there the band went to the Magic Kingdom. It was so cool, we went strait to space mountain and got to ride on it twice in a row. Then we walked around and watched the parades. The next day we went to Epcot. After a few hours of doing some rides we went and played a concert, and there was actually a crowd. The next day we went to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Everest was a crazy ride, and Hollywood has some really cool performances. The last day we went to Universal studios that had some awesome rides.

If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

I neither disagree nor agree with this statement. A power position to me isn't something that I want very badly. So if there is someone who wants that position, I would be more than happy taking the follower position. In the play Macbeth I think that the way the witches are saying it to Macbeth and Banquo it sounds like it will all come easily, without much confrontation, and that once Macbeth achieves these statuses he will be happy. 

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.

I disagree with this because being ambitious isn't always good. For example, if someone was ambitious and they were doing something wrong then why would you want a person working hard at something bad. In Macbeth, Macbeth is ambitious at achieving what the witches said would happen. And he ends up killing many many people.

Im Pretty Awesome

I am the coolest of the cool,
Cooler than ice
Cooler than Antarctica
Cooler than cold storage
I am cool.

I am the hottest of the hot,
Hotter than the sun
Hotter than fire
Hotter than the inside of a microwave
I am hot.

I am awesome,
Don't be jealous
Don't be mad,
But be happy
Because I am awesome.
