For example Lady Macbeth says “Who was it that thus cried? Why, worthy thane, you do unbend your noble strength to think so brainsickly things. Go get some water, and wash this filthy witness from your hand. Why did you bring these daggers from the place? They must lie there: go carry them, and smear the sleepy grooms with blood.”(Scene 2. Act 2, Page 27). Macbeth was essentially telling her husband to man up, and to go wash his hands of the king's blood, she equated forgiving herself to killing a man, to washing her hands. Lady Macbeth continues to try and convince her husband that what she had done was right, but in the end Macbeth says. “Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant there’s nothing serious in mortality: All is but toys.

In act V they are preparing for big fight between Macbeth’s and Macduff’s men. This is the act where it all comes together and we see who wins the big battle. Since Macbeth’s confidence reached an all time high, he goes into the fight between him and Macduff, confident that he will win. Macduff then throws him the curveball, that he was not women born, but he was a C section. “Then yield thee coward, and live to be the show and gaze o’ th’ time: we’ll have thee, as our rarer monsters are, painted upon a pole, and underwrit, here may you see the tyrant”(Act V, Scene 8, Page 85). In the end the prophecy the witches gave game true, Fleance eventually became king, Macbeth made the mistake of flying to close to the sun and he got his wings burnt and he
