Death of Macbeth
According to Harold Bloom, "the road which Macbeth travels 'to a dusty death' involves him in hypocrisy and deception, which are confirmed by the treason he commits. He is unable to appear in public without the mask which he is forced to wear in order that he might conceal the malice of his heart" (52-53). Show some situations or events in the play where this is true. Also, consider not the physical death of Macbeth, but explain when Macbeth dies spiritually (show support for your response and reasoning).
