Macbeth Big Ideas
One of the big ideas that I think is in Macbeth is 'Foul is fair and fair is foul.' I really think that we should be paying attention to this idea of good is bad and bad is good. The whole play I believe is about this concept. For example Macbeth seemed like a hero and good guy in the beginning of the play. Now he is the opposite killing people left and right and forgetting what the sound of screaming women sound like. Where as Lady Macbeth seemed very manipulative and also mean in the beginning. Lady Macbeth now is crying and having nightmares of the guilt she feels for going through with Macbeth on all of these bad things.
The idea of bad is good and good is bad is definitely part of s theme in the play. There is a lot of evidence of good is bad and bad is good. However I am not quite yet sure what the overall theme of the book is. Yes I believe that 'Foul is fair and fair is foul' contributes to a theme. I am just not sure yet.
If anyone has any ideas on what the overall theme of the play is I would love to here them!

Macbeth Qoutations
There are many quotations I could have chosen to dissect. The one that I think is most important comes up in the earliest part of Macbeth. The quotation I chose the witches say and it goes like this "Foul is Fair and Fair is Foul, Hover through the fog and filthy air" Act 1, Scene 1, Line 12-13 pg. 7.
"Foul" means bad, where as "Fair" means good. Bad is good and good is bad. This line represents deception, and that things never seem how they really are. For example, none of Lords so far really know that Macbeth killed King Duncan, the audience thought Banqou was Macbeth's friend until he killed him.
There are many lines, quotes and behavior of characters that support my conclusion. Another example of representation of deception would be Lady Macbeth talking to Macbeth saying "Your hand, your tongue. Look like th' innocent flower. But be the serpent under it." Act 1, scene 6, line 76-78 pg. 35
Lady Macbeth is saying look innocent and hide the evil thoughts that are in your mind, a.k.a deception. In conclusion, the line "Foul is Fair and Fair is Foul, Hover through the fog and filthy air" Act 1, Scene 1, Line 12-13 pg. 7 represents deception in the book and is present in Acts 1-3.
I am interested to see if deception will be present for the rest of the acts.
