Something that I really payed attention to as we read Macbeth, was the use of motifs to signify important things. The motif that stood out to me the most was the one about hands. That really stood out to me, because the actions that Macbeth committed all occurred with the use of his hands. For instance, murder, he stabbed someone, using his hands. The people crowned him king after the death of Duncan, using their hands. Lady Macbeth couldn't get the blood off of her hands. There were many things that happened using people's hands and their actions really effected the story.
I think that we should focus on this motif, because it's such a major one in my opinion. If Macbeth didn't have any hands, he probably wouldn't have turned out to be such a bad person. So from this motif, I think it's fair to say that you control your actions. No matter what the situation is, you have control over the actions that you perform. As for Macbeth, I think he should've thought out some of those action a bit more, but in the end, he didn't and, sadly, he was killed.
