Macbeth Analysis

Thesis - Macbeth by William Shakespeare is a good example on how you should choose a good path when you have great power so you don't have to worry about the bad actions that can come back to you as karma


In life everyone should have there own self power, but for some people theres time where they want to take away other peoples power. By having great power over all people. Having great power over people can be good sometimes but can also be bad. The word power can affect the way people treat you. When you hold power to your advantage and take the wrong path, wrong and harsh things can come right back to you because of karma. "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill: So, prithee, go with me" (3.2.50-55) 

Macbeth was a well respected man and everyone treated him with a high honor respect more than anyone could ever get. "Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth, i care not if thou dost for me as much. I pull in resolution, and begin to doubt h'equivocation  of the fiend that lies like truth : fear not till birnam wood. (5.5.40-43). This tells us that Macbeth is treated with high respect than other people. Now near enough your leavy screens throw down and like those you are. You, worthy uncle, Shall with my cousin your noble son lead our first battle. Macbeth had all the respect that Macbeth sees witches and visions Banquo's  analyzers and is not satisfied. Macbeth comes across many obstacles that he had to break through but he chose to stick with it and build more barriers to make it harder where peace will never come your way. "be innocent of the knoledge, dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night, scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand, cancel and tear to pieces that great bond. (3.2. 45-50) This quote briefly explains how everything will swell up during the ending of the book because he tells us a different side of the perspective that he wanted to have no peace and he knew that one day he will be sending out messengers and murders to kill whoever he isn't pleased with.


"we have scotched the snake, not killed it: Shell close and be herself, whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth. But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds suffer, ere awe will eat our meal in fear." This tells us that Macbeth doesn't rely on his thoughts but he only relies on who he is gonna fear. He tells us that not many people will live under disobeying his rules. Karma in this book really comes to part because when he treats other people he gets treated the same way as how he treated other people. Macbeth isn't a true person who can make his own decisions and his mentality can change the way he acts.


Macbeth comes to a point where he ends up getting killed and how he treated other people with disrespect he gets karma and is treated with evil. Macbeth talked to evil people and maybe even turned people into evil people. In life we cant just go by what we are entitled to, we need to show why we are entitled to be a king. Anyone could say they have great power but if you can't even respect your own personal rules not many people will like you, and your power just turns into ashes. We have to take what we have in to our humble hearts and not show who we are titled to but show how we should be treated the right way and not the way where karma will get to us.

mach beth pre discussion Monico & Ramones

Once you are done with first anticipation discussion, with a partner look at the following questions and answer them together. Your answers need to be in complete sentences and you need to provide what you and your partner discussed. PROVIDE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH PER ANSWER. Please list who your partner is. Each person needs to be post on their own website/blog to recieve credit. Title the post "Partner Macbeth Pre-Discussion (names)"

1. Is evil ingrained in human nature? That is, are some people just “born evil,” or is evil caused by circumstance or environment? 
2. Are our lives determined by fate, or by the acts of our free will? 
3. Is redemption truly possible? That is, is it possible to commit an act of genuine evil and truly recover from it? 
4. Is it possible to admire or respect a person whom you know has committed acts of genuine evil? 
5. Do “the ends justify the means”? That is, if one uses morally evil methods to acquire a goal, is that goal forever tainted or polluted by the actions one has taken to achieve it? 

1.   Evil comes from what choices you make. Evil is not causes upon birth it is about how we treat other people and how we get treated. The way we make our choices defines how our personality will be. For example if i choose to steal from the store that would consider of me being evil. Or making other people think of me as someone who steals

2. Yes whatever we do in our lives we have the full responsibility of taking control of it. What we do by the acts of our free will can determine what kind of character you are. Helping the homeless, helping the ill, helping the elderly, and respect.

3. Yes there can be a possibility of recovery but it can take a lot of work to get your self back on your feet. You are going to have to go through a lot of good deeds and prayers to help. I believe it can be possible because i've seen a lot of people start from being bad to changing there lives around to become successful and much nicer people

4. I really think you should respect anyone upon there personality but you might still have that feeling that this guy has killed someone or did something bad. I wouldn't admire anyone who has killed someone unless there actions have changed. Someone who is evil should have admiration and respect upon changes in life.

5. The goal is polluted because we shouldn't make evil methods to acquire a goal. Our goals should be off of what we try to be when it comes to our future. Our goals shouldn't be about our evil choices, goals are for what you try to do to become  successful

_________________________________________________________________________________

1. agree because a man is always supported by a woman to help him gain the respect and the knowledge on how to treat people. For example my mom helps me push my self to the best i can be to support me family and life style

2. agree because if we believe that God exist and he talks about demons in the bible i surely believe that they exist. My experience was that when i was in church the priest's homily was on how jesus confronts a demon

3. Disagree. I don't think its necessary to get what you want by doing something wrong. It will lead you into bad things into your life until you finally realize that everything comes from what you earn in your future life. 

4. Disagree because it will only come around if you let it come around. It wont always come around. Like when I never do my homework i never got a bad grade

5. Agree. But I try to stay away with all the bad things like drugs or stealing. It is very easy to tempt a human being because my neighbor would always tempt me to steal things but I just say no.

6. Yes because that ruler is gong to destroy the country so you minus well do something about it.

7. Disagree there shouldn't be any circumstances of murder! 

8. Agree. Success is always worth it because being successful is the whole definition of life.

9. Disagree. God and our believes is our own representatives on earth. Nothing rules us but the kings in heaven not on earth

10. Disagree. Your personality is the definition on how your day will be. You can change your whole day around by what you do. My personal experience is that if your happy from the start and try to carry it on for the whole day then you more than likely might have a good day

11. Disagree traitors should be forgiven. Someone who is a traitor should be punished but at the same time forgiven and should not be with you anymore. Because why trust someone who has said they'd be there for you but leaves to help someone else.

4. '' Theres always a reason to be mad, The holocaust gives every reason to be mad"

Second Assignment

1. Critical Stance


1. The definition of dehumanization is the process of depriving a person or group of positive human qualities.

2.  The behavior of the various jews changed as they come from The Jews of Sighet, to Auschwitz because not knowing whats going on, they find out that they are being separated from their families. They are treated like animals and are discriminated because of the kind of people the Jews are.

3 .What Eliezer thinks about his behavior is that he is changing and becoming a more different person because he can't be with his mother he is separated from half of his family. He experiences prisoners who help him and also prisoners who are like lost devils."


2. Dialectical Journal Entries


1.  I felt the sweat run down my back. "A-7713!" " I came forward." "a Box lie down on it! on your stomach". 1 to 25 he counts as he feels like he is round as a bucket of cold water.

Quiz questions

1. What process do the prisoners go through as they enter the camp?
2. What is one thing that remains the same among those living at Birkenau even though treatment harshens as time goes on?
3. Uncertainty or the unknown is one of the greatest burdens on the mental state of the prisoners.  Describe at least two of the uncertainties that they face.
4. The various guards that Eliezer and his father meet do not treat the prisoners the same way.  Contrast their treatment at the hands of different guards?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

1. They go through seeing bodies being thrown everywhere, kids being burned, people being separated from there families. They go through pain and it feels like to them that they have nothing worth for their lives. Dreams are crushed,valuable items are taken and sold to other people. Germans hit jews with batons bats and most people in the area they see are shot and killed.

2. What remains the same among those that live in Birkenau is the fact that they all are knowing they are either selected to a labor camp or a chamber to either your handicap, old, or really young, and where your strong wealthy and healthy to work for your freedom.

3.  They are uncertain because they don't really know what is going on until they are separated by their families and their friends. They are really uncertain that they have to face how they need to keep their bowls and how they have to experience "roll calls" and "selections" to where your going to be placed.

4. Different guards treat prisoners differently because some prisoners have the ability to work and some just do not.  You are treated differently because of they way your body posture was. Just like the father where he was beaten because of the fact that he wasn't moving at a certain pace as the other prisoners. Others were treated with a little more kindness because they had more worthiness others were "killed on the spot".
