In this essay will be talking about act 1-5 and how they relate to the five song that I chose. Some of these songs I have heard of before but the last two I have never heard of before. This concludes my introduction.
Act I/ Song I
To represent act 1 in Macbeth I chose the song “I Want It All” by Queen. The reason why I chose this song is because in Act I, Scene/ iii, Macbeth says” Two truths are told, as happy prologues to the swelling.” (Line128, P. 330) Macbeth is saying that two of the three prophecies for him have come true. He is beginning to become greedy for power. In the song the singer says” I want it all…it ain’t much I’m asking.” This is stating that they want it all.

This is the same with Macduff because Macbeth sent people to kill the family of Macduff he showed no mercy to them. Inn return Macduff will show no mercy to Macbeth. In the same act and scene, Macduff kills Macbeth ending the tyranny that plagued the land (Line 34,
