I feel when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth he meant it

    Fair is foul and foul is fair Hover through the fog and filthy air” One of the main themes rampant in Macbeth is that of deception. There is a disconnect between appearance and reality. Hypocrisy is everywhere and what is good for one person may be bad for others in the play. The first scene of the play highlights this. We are introduced to the witches‚ who speak in ambiguous equivocations. The quote “Fair is foul…filthy air” portrays that what is ‘fair’ or good or wholesome for humans is ‘foul’

He had full control of what happened through his actions‚ if he hadn’t been so morally weak and ambitious none of the problems that occurred would have. For Macbeth to have lasted a lot longer being king his head need not be so full with jealousy‚ selfishness‚ pride and other evil traits. This is why I believe Macbeth deserved his fate.
