the love that follows us sometime is our trouble , which we still thank as love (act 1 sc 6 line 14-15)

“Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here” 47–48

The sin of my ingratitude even now was heavy on me. (Act 1 scene 4 lines 17-18) pg.27 I too can relate to not being grateful and thankful. But why are we as people that way sometimes?

Macbeth "Your children shall be kings." Banquo "You shall be king." Lines 89-90 Act 1. SC 3 Ross "The King hath happily received, Macbeth,/The news of they success,and ,when he reads/ Thy personal venture in the rebels' fight,/His wonders and praises do contend/Which should be thine or his."(21) Lines 93-97 Act 1 SC 3

"I am settled and bend up/ Each corporal agent to this terrible feat./ Away, and mock the time with fairest show./ False face must hide what the false heart doth/ know." (1.7.92-96)

"But in these cases We still have judgment here, that we but teach Bloody instructions, which being taught, return To plague th' inventor"                      Act I: Scene 7, Lines 7-10

"The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step On which I must fall down or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires." (1.4.55-58)

"And the very ports they blow; All the quarters that they know I' th' shipman's card. I'll drain him dry as hay. Sleep shall neither night nor day Hang upon his penthouse lid. He shall live a man forbid. Weary sev'nnights, nine times nine, Shall he dwindle, peak, and pine. Though his bark cannot be lost, Yet it shall be tempest-tossed." Macbeth  Act 1. Sc. 3 Lines 16-26

"The Norns" by Johannes Gehrts, 1889 In act 1, scene 3 of Shakespears' Macbeth, the three Witches reunite, and discuss punishment for a sailor's wife who was too greedy to share a chestnut with one of them. In retribution, they curse the sailor to be lost at sea in a storm "Weary sev'nnights, nine times nine" (page 15, line 23), presumably meaning he will remain thusly cured for 81 weeks. Is this meant to give the witches, who already have some resemblances to the Norns and Fates of Norse and Greek mythology, some further conflation with the Eumenides?

"No town has any desire to extend its territory, for its citizens consider themselves to be cultivators, not owners, of what they hold." The marginal note on this says... "But today this is the curse of all countries."  page 59 (second sentence of the only full paragraph on the page)

For when everyone aims to have as much of it as possible, even where there is a great wealth it is divided up among a few, who lave nothing to the rest but poverty. And it generally happens that one class deserves the lot of the other, for the rich tend to be greedy, unscrupulous and useless, while the poor tend to be well behaved, simple and useful-- more useful, by their daily labor, to the community than to themselves" (55). https://www.google.com/search?biw=1164&bih=593&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=private+property&oq=private+pro&gs_l=psy-ab.3.0.0l10.1563642.2073671.0.2076119.13.13.0.0.0.0.97.890.10.11.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..2.10.885.0..0i67k1.447.NfDUsn69Tao#imgrc=3zzFkef3Me_NtM:

"... There is no room for philosophy in dealing with kings." (Pg. 52)
