= Overall Reflection =

The main idea of the story changes through greed. This is shown through Macbeth and Lady Macbeth throughout the play. Macbeth had a innocent and nice personality and Lady Macbeth had an ambitious personality. However, as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth commits murder and through that, Macbeth becomes cold hearten where as Lady Macbeth feels guilt and regret. We can see this in scene 5.1 line 34-36 //Here’s the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweetenthis little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!// Greed drives the whole story leading each character to do one to the next thing. **What can we learn from these characters? Select one or two characters and explain your answer.** From Macbeth, we learned that people has greediness in them. The influence of Lady Macbeth changes Macbeth's personality into a greedy person. Where as, Lady Macbeth later on becomes paranoid due to guilt. //There’s one did laugh in ’s sleep, and one cried. “Murder!”That they did wake each other. I stood and heard them.But they did say their prayers, and addressed themAgain to sleep (2.2, lines 22-25)//
 * What is the main idea of the story?**

//I have almost forgot the taste of fears. __(5.5, lines 9-15)__//   **Do you see recurring images, words, deeds, situations, consequences, mistakes? Select two items from the preceding list and give examples from the play.**  A recurring image is when Macbeth commits murder again after King Duncan's death.

The consequence for this is Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are killed or committed suicide. This shows that the consequence for being greedy is directly effected upon them too.
