Nothing is Free

I think a big idea in this story is that nothing is free. My dad tells me this saying a lot, but he always referring to the price of something. In Macbeth's case he wants to become king, and think that if he just kills Duncan then everything will be ok and that him and Lady Macbeth will ride into the sunset as a happily married couple, but that is not what happens.

Macbeth ends up having to kill a lot of innocent people just so people don't find out that he killed Duncan. Macbeth ended up losing everything just because he killed Duncan and became king. It's just like going "all in" in a poker game and end up losing so you have nothing left, but in this case it is a matter of life or death. I wish that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth would have realized the consequences if people would have found out that they killed Duncan.

Macbeth Quote

When Banquo is killed by the murderers that were sent by Macbeth one of the murderers comes back to Banquo and tells him that Fleance had gotten away, but they had killed Banquo. Macbeth killed Banquo because he found out that Banquo's children would be heirs to the throw instead of Macbeth's children.

When The murderer tells Macbeth that Fleance got away Macbeth notices some blood on The murderer's face and says "'Tis better thee without than he within." This means that Macbeth is saying that it's better that Banquo's blood is on you than it being your own blood coming out of you. I think this is foreshadowing Macbeth's death because Macbeth is saying it's better to be alive than dead.
