In life, it can be said that man is his own worst enemy. An enemy in the mind never rests, but rather grows more and more intense. A disorder of the mind can be an unbearable condition that not even the strongest of man can overcome. However, when a diseased mind is crossed with evil, the effects can be lethal. Once one has crossed over to the dark side, it is nearly impossible to bring oneself back to goodness. This is clearly shown in the tragedy of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, where the main character Macbeth becomes trapped behind a blanket of evil. In this play, Macbeth is urged onto the dark side by many forces, and can't bring himself back. Macbeth begins to have hallucinations in which he sees such objects as floating daggers, ghosts, and even witches, or weird sisters. His evil visions, along with his psychosis, get him into a position of power, the King of Scotland, which quickly goes to his head.

It is obvious that Macbeth's plight is represented through his hallucinations. Macbeth's hallucinations are merely a figment of his diseased mind and personifying his evil within.

However, this is easily explained, as at the time, it would have been common to see poor men or women on the battlefield looting dead bodies for any possessions they could find. The weird sisters Macbeth and Banquo saw were most likely three poor women. Their speech, probably all hallucinations of Macbeth, was all riddles and double-talk. Everything the weird sisters sai...
