Shakespeare's Macbeth is the story of a great Scottish warrior hero who falls prey to the temptations of his own aspirations to become king. Macbeth hastily silences anyone who even stands a chance of thwarting his power. He initially manages to overcome his scruples to get the position he wants, but soon the hardship catches up with him and his wife in shocking ways. The dagger scene, the banquet scene and the sleepwalking scene are all related because they demonstrate the guilt that both Macbeths feel after the murders of Duncan, Banquo and the Macduffs and how their actions are leading to their inevitable deaths. the dagger scene prefigures the great internal struggles that both Macbeth and his wife will have to struggle with. It is never clear whether Macbeth is causing his hallucinations or whether the witches chose to create the apparition of a dagger to cause him. Macbeth sees a floating dagger in front of him that leads him towards Duncan, and he doesn't know what to do with it (Shakespeare 266). It is obvious that he is not physically there, but his reflections on the matter show that he already has doubts. Part of Macbeth's conscience knows that once Duncan is killed he will never be able to change his path or resume his actions. He refrains from touching the dagger even though he would like to try to grab it (Shakespeare 266). It already seems like he's not in his right mind. At this point, Macbeth still has our sympathy and choice to go back. Whether it is witchcraft or his own decision, he has taken the path of self-indulgence. Soon, a precious symbol of the bloody crimes that will follow will appear. While she is monologuing, drops of blood appear on the dagger... in the center of the paper... her husband is also afflicted by the same remorse, but while one appears confident, the other falters, and vice versa. In this scene Lady Macbeth's internal discord is exposed; therefore, his last desperate act is understandable to the audience. In short, the three scenes discussed above are illustrations of the compunction with which the two Macbeths are equally afflicted after presiding over the murder of their king, a dear friend, and an entire innocent. family. Neither of them expected such a strong impact on their minds, but neither of them could hide their guilty consciences after what happened. Inevitably, Lady Macbeth is overcome by despair and commits suicide, which is not surprising given her poor and devastated mind. Macbeth also appears to succumb to his inexorable fate thanks to Macduff's sword, solidifying the pervasive theme that uncontrolled ambition must lead to an unpleasant end..
