Macbeth Act I: The Gullible War Hero

I read Macbeth my sophomore year of high school, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm a little older or we just finished reading Piers Plowman, but I found this much easier to read than I remember it being when I was 15. I definitely picked up on some of the motifs I vaguely remember learning about, such as juxtaposition, sex, jealousy, etc. I'm still amazed by how manipulative Lady Macbeth is in this act. When Macbeth starts to question the plan to assassinate the king, Lady Macbeth basically calls him a woman and claims that she would kill her own baby if he asked her to. Here we see Macbeth's morality and ethicality, but also his gullibility. Most of Act I, and the play in general, is based on the murky duality of content vs desires, and we see that clearly with Macbeth so far.
