Quotes

The quote that sticks out to me the most in Macbeth is, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (Act 1 Scene 1 Line 12). It isn't that long and it seems like something stupid, but it has a lot of meaning. Fair means like it acceptable to do; then foul is disgusting, revolting, and not acceptable to do. So it is kind of  a paradox. 

"First Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! 

Second Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cowdor! 

Third Witch: All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter!"

This quote changed the mood of the book. It was a big driving force into Macbeth's drive for power. It is basically saying Macbeth will be the king so he is going to do anything to get his way and he succeeds.

Big Idea: Power

Throughout the book Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both express obsession with power. Macbeth especially loves the power. Power drove him to become the physicopath he is. The power was a result of King Duncan's murder. When ever the witches gave him the prophesy, that he may be king, he wanted to be in power so bad he killed many innocent people. 

Lady Macbeth loved power as well. She wanted Macbeth to be in power so she can also be in control. She arranged all of the murder and told many lies. She told the lies to cover up the deaths of innocent people. While achieving the power she also felt guilt and that lead her to killing herself.
