Night

My chosen word for my word web was night. Night comes up a lot throughout the book. It is used in many cases, especially for the bad ones. I say this because the murders all took place at night and most evil plans were created at night. The ghosts always seem to come out at night which is why Macbeth cannot sleep. This makes him feel like he’s truly going insane. Another reason for this is because the witches potions seem to be created at night

A little water clears us of this deed

A little water clears us of this deed. How easy it is, then!
Lady Macbeth is saying that basically all you have to do is “wash your hands” and you will be clear of what you have done. It’s that easy!
What, will these hands ne’er be clean?
Macbeth is saying that these “hands” will never be clean. As in he cannot take back what he has done.

Word Webz


The character Macbeth connects to the words murder, evil and hurt. I say this because Macbeth plans to murder Duncan in order to take his place as the new king of Scotland, he is an extremely evil man with a terrible heart and he is willing to hurt anything and anyone just to be powerful. As for Lady Macbeth… she connects to the words death, sneaky and disgusting. She is just like Macbeth when it comes to death considering she doesn’t care who dies as long as Macbeth has complete power of everyone and everything.
Now even though Macbeth is played out to be the mean, evil, heartless man in Act II Scene 2 Macbeth is actually guilty for murdering King Duncan. He doesn’t feel okay with what he has done to the King and it’s almost as if his mood has shifted. Too bad it isn’t the same for Lady Macbeth. She is still the heartless, disgusting chick she has always been. She doesn’t care about the death of the King and just tells Macbeth that he should not think about what he has done. Macbeth even kept the daggers he used to kill the King with even though it would be obvious evidence of murdering King Duncan.

Indirect is better than direct

There are quite a few cases that perhaps making an indirect approach is a better choice than being direct. An example of doing so would be if my mother were to ask me to go out with her when I'm really tired and just want nothing but my sleep. Instead of saying "I'm tired get out of my face" I might say something like "I'm not feeling well can we do this some other time?" This way I'm still getting what I want :)
