The theme of things not being as they seem to be has applied to both of these characters. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have both been affected by the paradoxical theme of fairness and foulness. When Lady Macbeth expected to have a fair life after killing Duncan, her life turned very foul. She later is unable to bear the events and has become a victim of nightmares and hallucinations. But in public, she is able to act nicely as a skilled and superior person.
#Who has nightmares about the witches in macbeth full#
Lady Macbeth constantly taunts her husband for his lack of courage and that he is too full o th milk. Because of her burning ambition to be Queen, her life is ruined. After murdering Duncan and becoming Queen, she wants to have her old life back or die than to be where she is. Tis safer to be that which we destroy Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy. She says, Naughts had, alls spent, Where our desire is got without content. She thought that becoming Queen would make her happier but she later feels that life is not worth living. Lady Macbeth is affected from the theme as well as Macbeth is. However, Macbeth does not realize that Macduff was born unnaturally. When the Witches prophesize that no man born from a womans womb can defeat him, he feels invincible. The Witches have the biggest affect on Macbeth because they are the ones who are delivering these fair prophesies. The Witches know how he will get to be king and it would be fair to tell Macbeth, but they follow the fair is foul policy. For example, they all hail Macbeth as king by saying, All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter! Even if the witches werent there, Macbeth would have somehow become king because of fate. The theme that foul is fair and fair is fowl has the biggest supernatural pull The Witches do not predict that he will commit murder to become king but only that he will become king. There is one line in the play that has the most supernatural effect. This is incredible because to have these figments of his imagination to say that he is dark shows how corrupt Macbeth. It adds to the effect of Macbeth being such a corrupt being when the witches even say that something wicked this way comes (4.1.45). They are the agents of fate because they only speak of the truth of what will happen. Witches are known to be unhuman evil spirits that do the bidding of Satan and all dark.
