Macbeth addresses the themes of ambition and the effects of guilt. There are a pair of main things that stand determined the viewer's eye that effects of guilt. Macduff's heart was full of the feeling of love, hate, guilt,. almost the same as Lady Macbeth, this gave Macduff the (desire to do something/reason for doing something) to kill king he felt stress and guilt by the stains of the inexperienced water, red with king's blood he would never get eliminate the guilt of the (extremely competitive) act towards Macbeth .william Shakespeare uses techniques to show the audience how ambition and effects of guilt impact the play.
Lady macbeth is one of the key characters in shakespeares play macbeth is a clear representation of what guilt can do to a person. Lady mac beth had committed suicide in Act 5 scene 5. She had committed suicide due to the fact that she had killed an innocent human being and she could not unsee the blood on her hands. Therefore shakespeare foreshadows the fact that when killing another human being there will always be their blood on your hand not matter how many times you wash your hands. Lady macbeth ended up killing her self due to the fact that she could not stop seeing the blood and the guilt go to her.
The most significant effect of ambition “Two truths are told
As happy prologues to the swelling act Of th’imperial theme”
Macbeth speaks these lines as he (understands/makes real/achieves) that the witches' prediction (that he will be Thane of Cawdor) has come true. He immediately starts to wonder whether this means that their third prediction (that he will become king) will also be true. The eagerness with which he turns to this idea hints that he finds the possibility appealing, even though he also (understands/makes real/achieves) he would have to commit a terrible and violent act in order to (accomplish or gain with effort) the position. These lines hint at Macbeth's desire to do great things and predict (the future) his later actions even though, at this point in the play, he seems to refuse to think about acting upon it. Macbeth later on during the play goes through and the guilt leads to him losing his mind because of how ambitious he was it made him lose his mind
Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine
Macbeth speaks this line when he meets his wife right after murdering Duncan. He refers to each the literal blood on his hand however additionally to his sense of guilt. He uses grand and dramatic language to suggest that the blood could stain all the world's oceans red. His language hints that the results of his action will not be easily hidden, even though his wife hints that blood can be simply washed away. He can forever be a modified man as a results of what he has done. Interestingly, later in the play, Lady Macbeth will also see or hear things that aren't there that she has blood on her hands and is unable to get them clean, showing (by using a physical object to represent an idea or emotion) her sense of guilt.
