The Best Is Yet To Come Meaning
Act 1- “The Best is Yet to Come” by Frank Sinatra : The jolly, hopeful mood of this song fits Macbeth’s feeling after he won the battle. While the line “The Best is Yet to Come” is true in the mind of Macbeth, it is ironic in the full scale of the play.

Scene (Mcdonwald’s Defeat)- Bellbottoms by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion : The energy and victorious feel of this song emphasizes Macbeth's triumph of Macdonwald.

Act 2- “Dead Wrong” by Notorious B.I.G. : Macbeth is torn between his impure desire and the morality of fulfilling his desires. Mirroring this internal conflict Notorious B.I.G. raps a verse about terrible things he could do then backtracks due to their immorality with the refrain, “Big, you're dead wrong”.

Scene (Bloody Hands) “U” by Kendrick Lamar- After Macbeth has killed duncan he is filled with regret and self hatred. In “U”, Kendrick Lamar criticizes his own shortcomings from a third person point of view, and drowns in the regrets of his own misdoing.

The line, “Look back on my life and my life gone… where did I go wrong?” essentially encapsulates Macbeth’s self reflective

    In act 3 scene 4 I chose the song “I’m Going Slightly Mad” by Queen to represent this scene. In the scene Macbeth is having a dinner party and notices that all the seats are taken. When he sees that his seat is taken by the ghost of Banquo he starts talking to the ghost who is invisible to everyone else. The lyrics “I’m going slightly mad” describe how Macbeth was acting really strange and made the guests question him. The ghost later came back and made Macbeth have an outburst again alarming the guests which sent them home.…

    This song matches the scene because in line 68 Macduff yells “Ring the alarm bell!” Duncan has just been killed so this song would play as soon as Macduff says that. This song also represents what Macbeth is thinking in this scene. Beyonce doesn’t want her man to have another girlfriend, and Macbeth doesn’t want Malcolm or Donalbain to have the throne. Beyonce says ‘she gon’ profit everything I taught if I let you go’. If Macbeth isn’t careful, Duncan’s sons will profit from Macbeth’…

    Lady Macbeth's Guilt

    • 1160 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Macbeth’s guilt shows immediately after he kills Duncan. He starts hearing sprits yelling that he is the killer, that he “shall sleep no more”(Shakespeare, 57). Believing that he will never get peace again, Macbeth says, “will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red”(Shakespeare, 77-81). He is so disturbed by his actions that Lady Macbeth has to finish his business and tell him what to do. When he recovers from his trauma, he orders others to murder Banquo to please Lady Macbeth. He appears calm until the moment he sees Banquo’s ghost covering in blood. His consciousness makes him feel extremely guilty, which drives him crazy. He cannot control himself anymore even he knows he is having a dinner with all the guests who have not found out his unethical actions…

    Theme Of Blood In Macbeth

    Ross explains that the heavens are angry, and that someday, whoever committed the dirty crime of the murders of duncan and Banquo will pay for what he has done. “Thou seest the heavens, as troubled with man’s act, threatens his bloody stage”(2.4.5-6). The turning point of Macbeth’s character begins when the murder of Banquo has been done. “There’s blood upon thy face”(3.4.13) Macbeth goes on to explain to the murderer that is it better to have Banquo’s blood on the outside of the murderer than on the inside of Banquo, when he is still living. Macbeth starts to become numb to the feeling of guilt from murder for his prize of power. After the death of both Duncan and Banquo, Macbeth is obsessed with blood on his hands, and wants to kill everyone in his path trying to stop him of becoming King of…
