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!
