1. I do not feel sorry for Lady Macbeth. She was the mastermind behind the whole plot and she stimulated Macbeth to murder the king (Duncan) and take his throne. The play implies that Duncan wasn’t a bad ruler who gained respect from the nobles and his people. Encouraging Macbeth to kill such a ruler gives no space of mercy to Lady Macbeth. Although her sufferings at the end and her tragic death might earn people’s sympathy, it was a fair consequence regarding her role in Duncan’s murder
2. I think Macbeth wasn’t a good person in the first place. His feeling of distress after meeting the witches implies that he was always capable of dark deeds. He simply didn’t have the opportunity to show his dark deeds since he was familiar with the king’s authority and thus stayed royal to the king. Macbeth should be blamed for his treachery because he could’ve declined the witches’ prophesy and go along with his life-if he was truthfully royal to the king.
3. Yes I do have a personal incident in my life that I want to erase. Since it is too personal, I can’t share this incident with other people. I hope you will understand my situation. Her response is plausible. We observe similar responses or hear these responses from the media, in which murderers’ metal state will slowly deteriorate due to sense of guiltiness. Police officers will sometimes use this response for investigation as well. I won’t be consumed with guilt if I’ve done a heinous crime for a reasonable reason such as: saving other peoples’ lives, protecting myself, and more. However, I will be definitely consumed with guilt if I’ve committed a heinous crime for the sake of for my own greediness.
4. Yes, I’ve experienced predicted dreams couple of times. About ten years ago, I went to a church and the pastor had a session of foretelling one’s future. I was interested in this session and I attended the session. The pastor foretold the future by praying with individuals and soon it was my turn to pray with the pastor. After praying for five minutes, the pastor said I would be an aircraft engineer. This prediction doesn’t seem to be right as I’m planning to go to computer science field. After I heard his foretelling, however, these comments influenced me for a year. I thought my fate was predestined and studied harder on my science courses and math courses. Later, I stopped working such way, but I was actually surprised how the pastor’s comment influenced my life for a year.
