Macbeth is a greedy person. When he heard he was going to become the Thane of Cawdor, he instantly thought of becoming king too. Although greedy, he is not evil. He felt great guilt after he murdered the king. I think that Macbeth's story will not end happily because of the intensive guilt he's feeling currently. One question of concern I have is if he felt so guilty about committing the murder, why did he not tell his lady he disagreed prior?

Macbeth is a greedy person but I think the cause of it is lady Macbeth. When she recieved the news that King Duncan was staying at their castle she started plotting the murder of him. She also forced Macbeth to do the dirty deed. What I don't understand is why doesn't Macbeth take the charge annd tell Lady macbeth to stop with the murderous plot.

I think that Macbeth has made a huge mistake in killing King Duncan. First of all it was a last minute plan that wasn't completely thought out and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth did not plan what they would say to people after death was revealed. I also think that by automatically assuming that he would be crowned King when Duncan was dead was a stupid assumtion because his only reasoning comes from what those 3 witches said and they were sketchy. Also not everything they said was of good furtune... fair is foul and foul is fair.. that isn't exactly hinting at something good to happen.

The story of Macbeth will take a bad turn after the killing of King Duncan. I believe that somehow Banquo will find out that Macbeth was the murderer and will fight him over the fact. I then believe that Macbeth will see how wrong he was and eventually turn in Lady Macbeth as well.

So far I am not a fan of Macbeth. The story does not seem to fit together very well at this point. I guess I am confused about why Lady Macbeth and Macbeth felt the need to murder King Duncan so soon after hearing the prophesy from the witches. I think that more background information should have been included in the play to give a better feel as to why Macbeth would go to such lengths to kill his king in a time of war; especially because Macbeth and King Duncan are on the same side.

Lady Macbeth has a great power over Macbeth. If not for Lady Macbeth, I think that King Duncan would still be alive. I think that in the end Lady Macbeth and Macbeth will pay for killing the king and the story will not end happily for these characters. I think that the witches are partly to blame for this because they must have known what Lady Macbeth had planned. I think that the witches may have actually wanted the King dead.
So far, I think that Macbeth is a good story. It was pretty unexpected for Macbeth to kill King Duncan, but after becoming the Thane of Cawdor, I believe he was very jealous. Somehow Lady Macbeth was able to talk Macbeth into killing Duncan, and I think sometime throughout the story they will both have to pay for consequence for this action. I dont think that Macbeths conscience will let him go on knowing he killed one of the most important rulers for the time being.

In my opinion the play of Macbeth is definitely a classic. It represents the social norms of its day. It also provides a look deep into the darkness of the human psyche. The main concern in reading Macbeth is just deciphering the language, which after a small amount of effort can be achieved.
Mandy Smith
I think that after Macbeth realizes that killing king Duncan was a not so good thing to do, he will regret it. I feel like something bad is going to happen now in the story. With Lady Macbeth telling Macbeth what to do, and him doing it, i dont no whats going to happen next.
I think Macbeth made a big mistake by killing King Duncan. I don't get how they were so certain that what the 3 witches were saying was true. I think that Macbeth is greedy, but i think Lady Macbeth is more than him and hungry for power. I think that more bad than good will come for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth from killing King Duncan. Overall, i think it will turn out to be a good story.

Hey Mr. Lunn!!!! So far i think Macbeth has been an interesting story. I think that the 3 witches are sketchy, but i wonder if what they said in the beginning will come true. I think it's random that he killed King Duncan, and i think it will turn out bad for him. I'm excited to find out what happens in the end
Rachel Barnett
The story is hard to get in to because it is hard to read and the movie wasn't very interesting. But I think that the whole killing King Duncan thing will backfire on Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. I think they will get caught somehow by somebody and Lady Macbeth will end up dying.
The story of Macbeth has been very interesting so far. I think that by killing the King he has made a huge mistake. I think that it will come back to haunt him later in the story. If he would have not listened to his wife and been okay with what he received as being the thane of cawdor. One question I have is why would Macbeth let his wife talk him into doing such a foolish deed?
Anna White
So far, I think that Macbeth has been an interesting play. The way that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have hidden their murder of the King is actually very surprising to me. I believe that without his Lady, Macbeth would be lost. He wouldn't be as strong and definitely would not have been able to kill the King to take his place. I don't agree with his choice to listen to Lady Macbeth, but without her he probably wouldn't have much power. Through the story, I have been wondering what the two were thinking in killing King Duncan, when they knew that his two sons would be next in line for the throne.
WYATT BAKER
I think that Macbeth is whipped by Lady Macbeth. It seemed to me that it was more of Lady Macbeth's idea and plan to kill King Duncan. Also after he committed the murder, Macbeth seemed not to feel so good about himself. I also think that all of the witches prophecy will come true including the part about Banquo.
Derek Jensen
Macbeth is a man that wants great things but doesn't have the willpower to achieve them. He's a coward, and his wife controls him to where he actually kills the king, which shows a lot about his character. Why does Macbeth not just find the weird sisters again and ask them what to do, they're the predictors.
Macbeth I think is hard to get into and I wasn’t a big fan of the movie. But with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth killing King Duncan something is bound to happen. No one kills a King and then gets away with it, I think that the whole thing will back fire and then somehow Lady Macbeth will most likely end up dying.
My thoughts on Macbeth was that he was a gullable person. His gullablitly led him to be greedy.I think it will end bad because being greedy is never good.
I don't really like Shakespeare but this play is a little interesting. It is still hard to understand - just like most Shakespeare plays. I don't think that Macbeth was really an evil person - I think he just wanted to be King and have the power.
