guilt

• Shakespeare's play, Macbeth is a cautionary tale, and he uses the character of Macbeth to show the tragic impacts if committing regicide and usurping the crown and how it causes damage and destruction to ones mental health and wellbeing.
• "is this a dagger.. come let me clutch thee"
• "Macbeth shall sleep no more, Macbeth does murder sleep"
• Overall, through his depictions of moral fragility, the temptation of evil, and mental disintegration, Shakespeare warns his ardently fearful audience of the alleged perils of defying an all-powerful divinity. He portrays guilt as one of these consequences, positioning it first as a deterrent for evil ambition, and later as a punishment for evil actions.
