Lady Macbeth: Naught's had, all's spent,
where our desire is got without content.
Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.
Act 3.2

I believe that this quotation here is pretty important. So rite now the Macbeth's have killed duncan and are about to kill Banqo. They have gotten all that they want. He is king. No one knows about the murder, and everything is going nicely. But as Lady macbeth said, they are still not happy. They have everything they wanted and are not happy. I just find that weird. She said we have worked and gotten what we want, but our disiers did not make us  happy. It was safer for us to just leave everything alone, than to live how we are now. Not happy at all, when before we were.

Lady Macbeth
The raven himself is hoarse 
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan 
Under my battlements. Come, you spirits 
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, 
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full 
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood, 
Stop up th’access and passage to remorse, 
That no compunctious visitings of nature 
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between 
Th’ effect and it. Come to my woman’s breasts, 
And take my milk for gall, you murd’ring ministers, 
Wherever in your sightless substances 
You wait on nature’s mischief. Come, thick night, 
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, 
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, 
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, 
To cry ‘Hold, hold!’ 
Act 1.5

In this one lady macbeth is preparing herself to kill duncan. It's pretty evil, and its important because it marks the preparation of the first murder. She said make my blood thick, make me not human. Make me cruel. Bring forth the night, and don't let the stars see. Don't let me or my knife see what the wound makes, nor let the heaves see through the dark for it is something to terrible.

macbeth

At the beginning of Macbeth, we talked about some of the big ideas we would find in the play.  Choose one that you think the play is most about, or that we should most pay attention to.  Support your choice with a two-paragraph discussion of how we have seen this issue in the play.  Do you think this issue is part of a theme (a statement the play is making about that topic)?  If so, what?

3. Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature.

I believe that this is the biggest idea that we talked about in this play. Wy you ask? Well it is simple, it is all about betrayal, violence, lying and murder. It's all about the darkness in human nature. We see it all the time. Here are some examples. Duncan trusted Macbeth, bad Idea. Macbeth invited duncan to his house and killed him. He then went and killed his best friend because he now knew that the prophesy was coming true. He then lied about killing all these people. He used violence to kill all of them.

So as you can see, all of it adds together. The whole play is about lying, betrayal, and violence. I think this whole issue is part of the theme of the play. It also is what makes it interesting. Who doesn't like some good old fashioned betrayal and conflict. Any way I believe that this is the biggest idea and theme that we have talked about in this play.
