In this play Macbeth we can identify opening with sound of drums, sound of war instrument and sound of chorus. It's play very significant role in this play Macbeth.

Ambition is become too significant from reality and because of that he do such kind of crude behaviour with his own people. Macbeth wanted to earn power and at the same time Lady Macbeth is imposing her ambition on Macbeth. Macbeth falling in high expectations. Ambition is the central aspect for Macbeth to lead his moral deterioration throughout the play. Macbeth destroy his golden humanity, relations, happiness etc, Only because of ambition.
Examples :-
In the play Macbeth killing their own people only for earn power. Macbeth always be hunger for position. Macbeth always tried to achieve such kind of position & power and wanted to become the king. He kills king Duncan for earning power & position purpose. He kills everyone who become a stone in his way.

A-3 Blood is a central symbol of guilt & violence in this play Macbeth. Everyone has a bloody thoughts, mindset, criminal atmosphere and many more. I can identify when I saw this play Macbeth every "Man in Blood". Macbeth kills king Duncan and after that he see the soul of king Duncan in everywhere. Then hallucination happen with Macbeth. Macbeth comes with lot of blood in his hands and on his clothes. Lady Macbeth forcefully put her all decisions on Macbeth. Macbeth's soldiers kills Macduff's son and lot many things about blood. Macbeth spread others blood only for violence and his hunger ness for power and position.
After all these happening, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth falling in situation of guilt. Lady Macbeth act like a mentally unstable and she washing her hands again & again to wash blood of guilt and crime. Macbeth falling highly in depression and he do the so much thinking about past and his crime.
Q-4. Discuss the impact of the supernatural elements, such as the witches and prophecies on the plot and characters of "Macbeth".
A-4. It's very hard impact of supernatural elements on characters. After the killing of king Duncan Macbeth faces the many supernatural elements. Macbeth see the soul of king Duncan and after that he see the soul Banquet on the table of function. After that his mindset is very much disturbed by all of these. These are supernatural elements make the important role in this play. Such as the witches prophecies shows that the darkest side of humanity, relations and truth. All about the prophecies it becomes the darkest atmosphere around Macbeth and also his ambition. In this play characters must be exists with their own supernatural elements. As the audience really feel the concept of Aristotle that is Catharsis by the watching this play Macbeth.
A-5. Both characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are the prominent figure of this play Macbeth. Macbeth is very calm, loyal, kind and honest man and the other side Lady Macbeth has logical mindset, hunger for power & position and also she has ambition for future. Lady Macbeth highly put her all ambition on Macbeth and after that he become a puppet of Lady Macbeth's hands. Both personalities contrast the tragedy in Macbeth. Both are give motivations to each other. For some kind of earning power and position. It's known as a greedy thing about the tragic moment.
Shakespeare wrote tragic plays most. In this Macbeth I really enjoyed when I watched the full play. I connect with the actual moments like.. tragedy, love, violence, motif of 'blood', plot construction and many more horrible things. It's very interesting and knowledgeable screening play performance of Macbeth.
