I definitely believe that Shakespeare’s Macbeth reveals a lot about human nature and people you will or have met all though out life.
From the very beginning of the play you see the three witches, or weird sisters, are evil and represent temptation. They did not tell Macbeth to murder the king, but he did anyway because they told him that he would one day be king. In the end Lady Macbeth takes her own life out of guilt because she could not live with herself knowing that she instigated her husband into killing the king. Macbeth also has bloody hands which represents his guilt. He believes that Neptune’s ocean will turn from green to red after he washes his hands because he feels the blood will never be able to be washed away... or guilt. Yet his wife believes it will take only a little bit of water,
