I think that one of the biggest ideas in Macbeth is trust. Trust is relying on someone, and in Macbeth the "idea" of trust is shown in many ways. Throughout the book trust is an issue with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The start of the trust issue in this book is when Macbeth finds the witches and they explain to him his prophecy. Macbeth learned from the witches that he was going to be king and he will never be vanquished. Macbeth does anything to get to being king like killing everyone that gets in his way such as Banquo his best friend.
Also Lady Macbeth and Macbeth put their trust in the people that they are making kill for them. Almost every victim of murder that Macbeth kills has trusted Macbeth and Lady Macbeth at one point before they were killed. Also, Scotland puts their trust in their leader and Macbeth does not show the appropriate traits to become king at all. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth invite people to dinner only to kill them later on which shows a type of distrust in them. Trust is a major issue in Macbeth.

Important Quotations
"The love that follows us sometime is our trouble,
Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you
How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains
And thank us for your trouble"
This quote is important because I feel that it represents the book as a whole. It explains how love and trouble are different but can be the same. In the book Macbeth goes through the trouble of killing people but it seems as if he loves doing it because it causes trouble. This can be confusing but makes sense at the same time. In this quote Duncan explains how we thank trouble as love sometimes, and how we thank God for our trouble.
"Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or hell."
This quote represents the time where Macbeth goes to kill Duncan. This is the first person that Macbeth kills and I feel that at this time, Macbeth is starting to realize what he is about to do. I interpreted this quote as saying "The bell has rung for you to die" because that is what it is saying. We understand that Macbeth is about to kill Duncan because he says that he is about to be summoned to heaven or hell.
