Macbeth LRJ act 6

1. Shakespeare asks many questions throughout Macbeth. One question he asks is how far corruption can go before it gets put to an end? Throughout the book it shows how Macbeth becomes unstable to fit his roll on the thrown. He becomes more and more insane and begins to completely destroying his own kingdom. The point where he falls is at the peak of his stubborn insanity which is shown on page 173. "I will not yield/To kiss the ground before young Malcom's feet/And to be baited with the rabble's curse." Another question that Shakespeare asks is if people can change the course destiny for there own personal benefit? Macbeth was so ambitious and focused on getting what he wanted, he didn't even realize the damage he was doing. He tried to change the future but he couldn't do it at all. The harder Macbeth tried to change destiny the more of a mess he got himself into. He finally realized after he murdered Duncan that he should just give up and turn himself over to Destiny becuase he realized what terrible things he had done. This is shown on page 53 in act 2 scene 2. "To know my deed, 'twere not know myself."

2. Macbeth never realizes the mess he has gotten himself into and even when he is about to die, his enraged, power-drunk self becomes so utterly mad that he cannot even think about what he is doing. Corruption can get to a point where people have destroyed everything around them. And if they still don't realize what they have done then it is put to an end. Shakespeare also confirms that destiny cannot be changed. Everything the witches foretold came true, no matter what Macbeth did to stop them.
