Analysis of Macbeth

In Macbeth, the characters who represent the fear in the play were varied, the principal one were Macbeth and his beloved because they had killed Duncan and then he killed more people, so they were afraid of being discovered. Macbeth’s friends (from the other hand) were afraid of losing his friend because he was acting very weird and he seems like becoming crazy with the spirits of the people we had killed. Macbeth might feel fear at the beginning of the story to, maybe he could be afraid of not having the throne himself but another noble, even fear of not being strong enough to be the an honorable king to his beloved wife.

The main reason that causes their fear consists of the sin committed by Macbeth and his ambitious wife, who in order to gain the whole kingdom in their hands, decided to kill Duncan the king and his wife. Once they have killed Duncan, Macbeth becomes crazy because of what he have done. Feeling of fear entered to Macbeth’s mind, he fears of everything and everyone, even of his wife who was at the beginning the main guilty of the murder. Thus, from the sin that the “noble” have done became afraid of what can happen.

In the play, the concept of guilt differs from fear, both are actually related but separated at the same time. From the guilt comes the fear and then the madness of Macbeth. Maybe he was not feeling guilty of doing what he did because he actually wanted to please his wife and their ambitious desires. However, when they committed the murder he started feeling fear of what can happen if they are discovered but not guilty because their goal of taking he throne were successful. When a person feels guilty he or she regrets have he have done, but when he feels fear he is insecure of what can result from his actions.
