Act 3 Conclusion
1/ In Act 3 the heart represents that a person truly feels about someone or something else. The heart is where Lady Macbeth feels that her guests are welcome, it is where Macbeth and Lady Macbeth hide their true intentions of murdering Banquo and it is also where the Lords get their feelings for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
2/ The heart is where Macbeth hides his true intentions and uses a mask on his face to cover them

2a/ Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers, Unmannerly breeched with gore. Who could refrain,That had a heart to love, and in that heart, Courage to make ’s love known? (2.3.95-99) b/ Then right next to him I saw the murderers, dripping with blood, their daggers rudely covered in gore. Who could have restrained himself, who loved Duncan and had the courage to act on it? c/ Here Macbeth is talking to Macduff and Donalbain and is trying to explain to them why he killed the two suspects in the King’s murder.
Act 2 (Scene 3-4) Conclusion
In these two scenes the word heart is, again, a place to find true emotions. The heart is where Macbeth and the other characters of this play access their true self and find out what they truly want out of a certain situation.

Young maidens together unawares that marriage and love in you never discloses a path of lilies and of roses. She, in either cheek, or else so lovely born. Conquering hearts all other beauties longed, she converted love’s infidels beyond her strength. And to tie herself to such a character, Macbeth. Maybe she was in love? Though knowing her I doubt she ever felt herself in danger from ’the whim of some man’. Oh old friend, you are a formidable besmirched woman. You who no doubt gets your own way in all matters, raising your single-minded husband to the highest of men with you dark hand and ambiguous head. What is wrong is right in Scotland now and it’s all your doing. Why must you cause so much pain and rule with the hatred of a beast? The townspeople starve in the streets. The farmers no longer cultivate the crops, too sickly to serve us alone. So much to be ended, to be fixed. They say “What’s done cannot be undone.” (Page. 85,…

Despite Macbeth seeming noble and courageous towards the court, I, as a reader, am knowledgeable of his true feelings and do not feel sympathetic towards him. He does not fulfill the definitions of a sympathetic literary character that I carry in my mind, as he is aware and in control of his evil intentions and actions. In Act I, Macbeth’s initial reaction to the prophecy is murder, and his eventual commitment to the act showcases his true character as a murderous but independent…

When the witches tell Banquo that his children will be kings, Macbeth was also present. In which case Macbeth should have realized that Banquo 's sons would be a threat to him. But Macbeth was unable to see the larger image and only focused on what would happen to king Duncan, he did not expand his imagination but simply kept to the right side. Ofcourse later on Macbeth begins to see this, but it is too late and people have already begun suspecting him of killing King Duncan. If we look at the situation from another angle we might also find a paradox, would Macbeth have become king if the witches had not told him about his future in which case, Lady Macbeth would have never received the letter and couldn 't have persuaded Macbeth into murdering King Duncan. This also links back to belief and religion where if you believe something you would most likely strive for it and succeed.…

Macbeth’s new position as king, gives him the power to delegate his needs to other people which he uses to hire murderers to slaughter Banquo. This proves that Banquo’s life means nothing to him anymore now that Banquo’s knows about Macbeth’s involvement in Duncan’s death. Banquo’s statement of “thou hast it now-king, Cawdor, Glamis, as the Weïrd women promised, and I fear thou played’st most foully for ‘t” shows Banquo’s realization of Macbeth’s involvement in Duncan’s murder but by the time he does it is too late for salvation. This worries Macbeth because his lies are catching up to him and they threaten to take his crown. The thought of killing Banquo once a never come to plight now seems as the only solution to an ever growing problem. Banquo’s ending set forth Macbeth’s notion of the crown leading to happiness. This murderous action, even though not directly taken by Macbeth, even more so painted Macbeth in a murderous light that will follow him on his path to…

Macbeth, a dark and gruesome tragic play written by William Shakespeare primarily discusses the concept of greed for more authority. Emasculation and the Great Chain of Being are some core components of this play that are discussed through gothic poetry. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are the main characters in the play.
