2. Greed
This picture represents how much
greed lady macbeth has. she will
not share any of it. this picture
shows two girls one with lots of
money and one with a little
money. Lady macbeth will do
anything to get power even if bad
things are happening to other
people.
“I have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn
As you have done to this. “

3. explanation: lady macbeth
No Guilt
doesn't really care about
innocence. she would do
anything to get what she
wants. she is telling macbeth
that she doesn't care because
her hands are clean. I think
that she really does care and
even though her hands are
clean she really does feel bad
deep inside.
“My hands are of your color, but I shame To wear a heart so white.”

4. Power
Lady macbeth is saying if you want
power you have to move on. A bird
hurt this bird to get food. The bird in the
picture eventually died.
“How now, my lord, why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done, is done.”

5. Guilt
Explantation: When I was
taking a picture of this bird it
flew away before I could get
close. When I went over to
where it was sitting I saw this “Out, damned spot! Out, I say! One; two. Why then ‘tis time to do’t. Hell is
scare crow. Lady macbeth murky. Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows
could not do anything to get it, when none can call our pow’r to accompt? Yet who would have thought the
rid of her guilt, just like this old man to have had so much blood in him?”
scar crow could not get rid of “To bed, To bed! There’s knocking at the gate. Come, come, come, come, give
this bird. It will keep coming me your hand! What’s done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed!”
back because guilt is not
something you can just get rid
of.

6. Guilt 2
This child was crying because he accidently
ripped the book and felt bad. In this quote
the doctor is saying that he cant fix moral
dilemmas. No doctor can cake this child
feel better he just has to deal with his
guilt. It was so cute.
“This disease is beyond my practice Yet I have
known those which have walked in their sleep who have
died holily in their beds.”
