Macbeth later had him taken for a ride and murdered because he knew too much. Life as king did not bring joy to Macbeth. Fear mounted In his own heart, and he increased the number of spies in the homes of his noblemen. Murder followed murder. As soon as he felt that any man disliked him, he notified his killers. Hatred of Macbeth grew on all sides of Scotland. Finally the time seemed ripe, and Macduff went to England for help. From personal spite, Macbeth had the helpless wife and children of Macduff murdered. Lady Macbeth Dies. Life for Lady Macbeth was one long punishment. She had to watch her husbands degeneration, knowing all the while that she might have prevented it. Finally, her subconscious mind got the upper hand. Sleep was not restful, but was dominated by thoughts of the murder of King Duncan, whose blood she kept seeing on her hands. She became totally insane. I tiie last act of the play she died, and when Macbeth heard the news he said, "She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. She would have died anyway!

Macbeth was unfit for organized society, he did not adapt himself to the scheme of things, but rather he tried to fit the world around himself. Selfishness ruled his thinking, he wanted that which belonged to others. His ego desired to be the head of the outfit. After he had gained his position of power, his life continued to parallel that of a gangster. all He suspected men of being murderous. To protect his life he employed the most extensive system of spies. Yet his days were lived in constant fear. As do many criminals, he thought he could beat the laws of right and wrong, but a fearful life and violent death showed him that he was subject to the same world as other men.

Macbeth, a general in the kings army, won a great victory, as the play opens. The king honored his favorite subject by planning to speed that night at his castle.
