Act V of Macbeth

Lady Macbeth has offically gone insane by the end of the story. She sees blood on her hands all the time and refuses to be left in the dark. This shows the guilt of killing King Duncan and the servants, for she cannot was the blood in her mind. She is forever scarred with the memory of killing him. And after wishing to be more evil and dark, she is afraid of the darkness and always wants lights near her.  Meanwhile, Malcolm and the English Army have met up with Scottish rebels of Macduff's in the Birnam Woods and are getting ready to attack Dunsinane. The army decides to disguise themselves with the woods to make a sneak attack. As they move in with the camouflage, they are spotted and the news is brought to Macbeth. It is described as the woods are moving towards the castle. Macbeth is astonished and is worried the witches tricked him. Lady Macbeth dies of unkown causes from her insanity, possibly a suicide. Once Macbeth hears, he mourns for roughly 3 minutes, wishing she would have died later so he could mourn her at another time. The shows Macbeth's attitude about his life at the moment. He does not care much more and sees it as meaningless. As his own troops begin to turn on him, he has no other choice but to stay and fight with bravery. The irony of him seeming brave comes back to his cowardice in killing Duncan, Banquo and Macduff's family. After killing the young Siward. He finally runs into Macduff, whom he refuses to fight because he has killed so many of his family members. We find out that Macduff was actually "untimely ripped" from his mother-- he was born of a cesarian section. This fulfills two apparitions in one. Macduff is not born of a woman and the witches said to fear him. Macbeth has now given up, feeling tricked by the witches. Really though Macbeth was naieve towards the witches and did not understand he was digging his own grave. Nonetheless they fight, and Macbeth is slained and Malcolm becomes king. In the beginning of the story, the witches ask a lady for some chestnuts and she refuses to share. In punishment they said they would torture her husband. Could Lady Macbeth be the reason Macbeth was tormented by the witches slowly in leading to death? These are questions not answered by the story. Possibly because you must look deeper in. Another detail noticed is Shakespeare's familiarity with the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses and even Christianity. He mentions Neptune, Hecate and Jesus. The change in attitudes of both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth flip flop through the story. Lady Macbeth was seen as fearless and evil in the beginning and Macbeth was more honest and uneasy about being evil. By the end, Macbeth was cold-blooded and Lady Macbeth was so traumatized by all of the evil crimes committed by Macbeth, that she was believed to have taken her own life.
