Macbeth Main Ideas- Last Post and reading times

At the beginning of Macbeth we talked a lot about ambition and loyalty (or loyalty that would be shattered), anyway I decided to do a mix between ambition and loyalty because both are extremely important throughout the play as a whole.

I chose ambition as one because Macbeth had a lot of ambition to kill others to get where he wanted to be, which was on the throne as King. He killed Duncan to become king, but soon realized that Banquo's kids would have the throne there after him, so his craziness decided to kill Banquo, his best friend, and Macduff's family. He had such a strong ambition to become king, he did the worst things that would come to anyone's mind. Soon after he killed Banquo, Banquo's ghost started stalking him around and freaking him out a lot, Macbeth becomes paranoid and when he starts talking about things like his killings he's unable to stop and Lady Macbeth tries to get him to calm down.

Secondly, I think loyalty is just as important as ambition because Macbeth put a lot of trust into people and they put it into him as well, as time went on people couldn't trust Macbeth as much. Macbeth has a lot to over come and I think Lady Macbeth is very loyal towards Macbeth through all his struggles he goes through. I feel like when Macbeth thought that people were finally understanding that it was Macbeth that was killing the people around him, they got a little worried and concerned, making them not trust him anymore.

Quotation and Reading Times

At the very beginning of the play on the first page, the witches were all together and they were being super creepy and chanting "fair is foul, and foul is fair," I think this means that something always has something else to it, like there is always a second story to every story. I also think that the witches are foreshadowing that bad things happen to good people, like Banquo, a nice generous friend of Macbeth, but Macbeth finds him as a threat so he kills him. So when it says "fair is foul," I think it means that if something is fair to someone it could be the complete opposite than everyone else thinks.
