In our world today, bad things happen to good people everyday. For example: in Somalia those ships captain and crew, that are taken hostage and in some cases killed. These people didn't do anything to deserve getting hurt. They are just ordinary people trying to make an honest living. Good people can also have bad things happen to them not only by people but also by disease. People can die from cancers, birth defects, or other disabilities. Some people might wonder why could something bad happen to a good person. Like the situation in Macbeth where Macbeth kills Macduffs family because Macduff is trying to impeach Macbeth and get Malcolm in his right full place as king. Macbeth is trying to intimidate Macduff by killing innocent people and two of those people being his kid and wife. A situation that could relate to this is if a modern day country like Russia wants an American to spy on America. But if he wanted him and his family to live he would have to supply helpful information. I don't think this is the right or even a good thing to do, but if you are in the place of a leader trying to stay alive, all that is going through your mind is to do what ever is necessary.

Then and now
G:
Then (Act III, Scene IV)
Lady Macbeth says "Why do you make such faces? when all's done, You look but on a stool.
Lady M, is saying why are you acting weird, there is nothing here. (Macbeth sees Banquos Ghost)
Now Act V
Lady M says " i tell you yet again, Banquo's buried; he cannot come out on's grave.
I think lady M in this scene is re-living the moment in Act III when she was at dinner with Macbeth and he went crazy.
H:
Then (Act II, Scene II)
I hear a knocking at the south entry. Retire we to our chamber.
Lady Macbeth heres a knocking and feels like someone might have found the body.
Now Act V
To bed, to bed. There's a knocking at the gate.
When Lady M is saying this in her sleep she now feels scared she will get caught.

The hand Act III
Some holy angel
Fly to the court of England and unfold
His message ere he come, that a swift blessing
May soon return to this our suffering country
Under a hand accursed!
Act III, Scene VI- Lennox
Summary: Lennox is saying to Lord, go to england and give the message that he can come home, and that he has gotten to have the chance to come home to his suffering country.
Comment: In this line, "Hand" most nearly means under the person is under someone else who has been accused. And i think hand means blame.

The hand Act II
My hands are of your colour; but I shame
To wear a heart so white.
Act II, scene I- lady Macbeth
Summary: Lady Macbeth says to Macbeth that they look the same but she does not have to carry the guilt that he must.
Comment: In this case she is referring to "Hands" as an example of what she looks like in the eye of guilt.

MacBeth's Word Web
The 2 characters i will compare will be MacBeth and lady macbeth. While on my chart the three words i will use are murder, slaughter, and family. Even though lady MacBeth is a woman she has more balls the MacBeth and wants to kill the king by murdering him. I used family because she is married to MacBeth.
An ambitious man who fights for what he believes in. slaughters anything that gets in his way, and has the blood of his enemies heard drip from his saber. Leaving nothing but death in his path on the battlefield. You know he is a fighter when Duncan says "what bloody man is that" to his sergeant.
