The witches part in macbeths moral decay
I think the witches played a role in Macbeths moral decay by telling him what he wants. But the all in all, he brought it upon himself. Before he started talking to the witches, his morals were right, he was good and clear about things, but with all the things he did, he didnt stop and think. All he had to do was just let it go, but he took it upon himself to make a bad person from who he was.
Macbeth has a conscience?
I do not think Macbeth has a conscience because he shows apathy towards everything. Like when Lady Macbeth died, he just said "she would have died later anyway." That was his wife. Also I dont think he does because he was willing to kill family just to get what he wants. He said he would and im sure he wouldnt stop and think about it.

superstitions that are created today
An urban legend that is commonly created to explain an unusual modern event is karma. Karma is the definition of the saying "what goes around comes around." People that have unfortunate bad luck blame it on karma. The people with the bad luck think that if they have done something wrong and they havent, and yet something bad happens, its blamed on karma.
Macbeths motive for killing Duncan is "vaulting ambition"
Macbeth could have just thought about the consiquences more. Consiquences such as having to kill more people to allow him to keep his good name. He should have considered the fact he would eventually look suspicious that he was the only one living, while other royalty are getting killed.
Why SHakespeare chose Macbeth to reveal his feelings with a soliloquy
I believe he chose Macbeth because of his insecurity. Macbeth thought of it because he was unsure how people would react if he had talked to other people about it
what the "dagger soliloquy" revealed about macbeths state of mind
It revealed that he was going crazy.

macbeths insanity
Signs that show that Macbeth is going insane are his thoughts, his dreams, lack of sleep, contradicting himself, and not knowing exactly what he is saying. He claims he has nightmares, and cannot sleep. By contradicting himself he said "I am king, i have the power. But i dont." Then he tried to manipulate the murders by continually talking about dogs. Claiming men are like dogs, then names off atleast ten different kinds of dogs.

Asides
An example of Shakespeare's use of asides was when Macbeth was talking to himself. He revealed that he would perhaps kill someone to become king. If he had not done that, I would probably focus less on him.
Macbeth or Lady Macbeth being more responsible for the plot against Duncan
I believe Lady Macbeth is more responsible because Macbeth just thought of the idea but it was Lady Macbeth that turned a thought into something more
