The Tragedy of Macbeth
By: Derek Beauchamp
Who is to Blame?
Foil
Lady Macbeth Wants Macbeth to kill king Duncan, but he disagrees," we will proceed no further in this business." (Shakespeare 43). Macbeth doesn't want to kill Duncan because he hasn't done anything wrong. This is an example of foil because Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are showing character traits that are in contrast of each other.
Dynamic Character
At the beginning of the story Macbeth seem like a cool, non-hostile person, but after his encounter with the witches his personality traits change. When King Duncan came into town, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth finally agreed on killing Duncan," I am settled and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat. "(Shakespeare 45). This shows that Macbeth's Ambitions became too powerful for him to handle.

Song Connection
Lyrics- " I toss and turn keep stressing in my mind, mind. I look for peace but see I don't attain. what I need for keeps this silly game we play, play." (Cudi).
The Lyrics resemble the three witches, because of how they made Macbeth go insane. The witches told Macbeth that he was going to be king and he believed them. Macbeth's ambitions became too powerful leading to the death of Duncan. After Duncan was killed, and Macbeth was the new king, he felt like he had to do everyhing to make sure that he stayed king; even if it required killing as many people as it would take.
