... worry. Macbeth tries to snap out of it and act normal so that nobody will suspect anything, but he gets worse. “Methought I heard a voice cry, ‘Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep'” (II.ii.35-36). Macbeth's sleeplessness means the more sleep he loses, the more he is exposed to night, which is evil. The witches play a key role in turning Macbeth into the paranoid, dangerous person that he his. They basically ignite the tragedy as well as Macbeth's fate when they tell him he will be Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth was not aware of the problems that the prophecy would soon create, nor was he aware that it would bring him to his end. The witches themselves are a symbol of evil. They're hid ...

... of Scotland, a man whom trusted and loved Macbeth. With Duncan dead and the two princes fleeing, Macbeth was crowned king of Scotland.

... agents (Hankins 127). The train of events from the death of his father to the revelation of the ghost has profoundly disturbed Hamlet. He realizes it himself and fears that the excitement within him may betray his secret. He knows well that it is beyond his power to suppress it altogether, and so he pretends to be mad. Any slip of the tongue about his secrets will seem like the uttering of a mad man, and his real thoughts will be unknown to those around him. Hamlet must have time to think, time to perfect a plan of action, and in the meanwhile he must protect himself from any involuntary betrayal of the inner workings of his mind. He needs time to ensure that the king is truly gu ...

... would start to pity her again. By the end on the play, Helen starts to understand what words mean (ex: water). Everyone is very excited for Helen, but Kate learns that real love also means losing the one you love. Meaning that once Helen learned everything, Kate will no longer have to do everything and be right beside her all the time. It is like when your baby learns to walk and talk, in a way you are “losing the one you love” or you feel like you aren’t going to be as close as you were. Your child will learn to do more and more things by themselves and they will not need someone to help them. Helen will not need her mother to help her communicate anymore; she is starting to develop ...

... the witches’ prophecy become true. Lady Macbeth mutters about Duncan’s murder while sleepwalking. This confession could lead to her and Macbeth’s death.

... them in conversation. The witches greet Macbeth with, "Thane of Glamis" (his present title), "Thane of Cawdor" (his soon-to-be announced title), and the prophesy that he will be "King hereafter." They also greet Banquo with, "lesser than Macbeth, and greater," as "not so happy, yet much happier," and tell him "thou shalt get kings, though thou be none." How would the witches know of their future? Perhaps they were trying to plant an idea in Macbeth's head that would later lead to certain calamity. After Macbeth discovers the witches' first prediction came true, he begins to aspire to realize the next prediction of becoming king. Already, because of the women, Macbeth begins to e ...

... for killing the king is legitimate, then Claudius should die at about Act 3. Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior. In doing so, one will come to the conclusion that Hamlet is driven by forces other than what is obvious to the reader, as well as Hamlet himself. Given this example, one must denounce the assumption that Hamlet is aware of the forces that motivate him, and understand that Hamlet’s true motivation is unconscious This unconscious force is the true reason behind Hamlet’s mysterious behavior. In naming this force, one must look beneath the surface of Hamlet’s own level of consc ...

... foul and most unnatural murder" through killing Claudius, the murderer "with traitorous gifts" who killed King Hamlet. Claudius became aware that Hamlet knew the truth and that he was conspiring against him. As a result, he devised a fight in which Hamlet was slain by Laertes. However, before Hamlet died he managed to kill Claudius. Hamlet's determination to avenge his father's death is what led to his own death.
