The themes that are presented are repentance, revenge, and love. Lady macbeth has bee out off the play for a long period of time, but now in this act she shows up again and she is not the strong lady hat was seen in the beginning of the play, “Here’s the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little. Oh , oh , oh!” (5.1.50-52) now Lady Macbeth is hallucinating about the crime she helped commit, and so now she would want to repent due to her sleep walking/ talking. Revenge, Macduff wants revenge on Macbeth for having his family killed, so he now Is motivated to have Macbeth Slain. “Let our just censures Attend the true event and put we on industrious soldiership.” (5.4.16-17). Macbeth, even though more bolder than ever he sill has a weak spot for his lady, he doesn't show it well but he shows he cares about his lady, Pluck from the memory a rotted sorrow” (5.3.42-43) he I demanding the doctor to do what he can to get his Wife feeling better, while he tells him this, Macbeth is getting prepared to fight.
The image pattern of the forest is used a lot in Act five, it is important because it is a prophecy that the apparitions gave Macbeth. It is what Macbeth shall fear, “I will not be afraid of death and bane Till Birnam Forest come to Dunsiane” (5.3.61-62). “Let every soldier hew him down a bough And bear't before him. Thereby shall we shadow The numbers of our host and make discovery Err in repost of us.” (5.4.4-7). Malcolm is now taking control of the army, and he tells everyone to get a tree and become the forest of Birman, and so just like the Apparitions said, to fear the Forest.
