In act 2, scene 2, Lady Macbeth shows strong commitment towards the marriage, as she is willing to do anything to prevent Macbeth from being caught. For example, she says "I'll gild their faces...for it must seem their guilt." This shows that she is thinking of him, and ways to reassure him while he is in a panicked state. She tells him to give her the daggers, so her dominant side is taking over in the relationship once again, much like in earlier scenes where she tends to break the feminine stereotype and fit in better with the masculine one. She says "the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures" which means she is saying they look the same, which may give them extra time to cover up the fact that they have killed King Duncan.…

Rupert Goold’s cinematic representation of Act 4, Scene 1 of Macbeth captured the setting and meaning of the scene very well. The overall setting of this scene is very dark and based in the 20th century; this helps to separate Goold’s film from other productions of Macbeth. The feeling this setting gives off can make one feel uneasy and trapped, especially with the underground medical room where the Witches perform the “cauldron” part. Along with the closed off room, tarps are placed against the wall with lights from behind to add eerie lighting to the area; however, when Macbeth is shown that Banquo’s sons will rule, all the creepy, white lights are replaced with a dark room and minimal lighting. The beginning of the scene, where the witches…

Macbeth: Deep Thoughts Yes, I believe that one selfish impulse could lead to a chain of decisions that can reflect on you with lots of pain and anguish. All the time I see people making poor, selfish decisions. I see it in movies, in real life, on T.V shows, and I also read about it in books.
