Macbeth The Tremendous Power of Fear Fear motivates us to do many things, whether they are right or wrong. In the play Macbeth, fear was the main motivation that influenced the outcome of the play. This can be proved by the subsequent murders after Duncan's. Why were these committed? Macbeth was scared of being caught and having to pay for the wrongs he had done. Also, look at Lady Macbeth. The constant washing of her hands, sleepwalking, and other behavior like this is done out of fear. It resembles her husband fear of being caught. The final piece of proof is Macbeth's actions. They were all due to fear, not only of being caught but of the witches' prophecies. He was scared of them coming true and tried to stop them from happening. This whole play was inspired by fear and what it can do to a person. A good first example of this principle can be illustrated by the subsequent murders that Macbeth committed after he killed Duncan. Macbeth had just killed the King of Scotland and blamed it on his son. It worked, and he became King. However, he remembered the witches' prophecies. They claimed that Macbeth would be King, but it would be Banquo's children that would follow after him. This made Macbeth very angry, and he risked everything to become King. Unfortunately, his family would never wear the crown after his death. Only for them; and mine eternal jewel Given to the common enemy of man, To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings! [Act III, S I, L 72-75] Here, Macbeth realizes that if something is not done to Banquo, his sons will become Kings. Macbeth can not have this. He had already worried that his soul will go to hell for what he had done. His fear become evident in this scene also, "But to be safely thus: our fears in Banquo Stick deep;" [Act III, S I, L 53-54] Macbeth has Banquo murdered, And Banquo’s son Fleance manages to escape from the attack. Next, Macduff refuses to accept Macbeth as king and flees to England to join Malcom. The witches tell him to beware of Macduff, which angers Macbeth and drives him to kill Macduff's family. The fear of losing the impending battle with England makes Macbeth begin doing anything that will give him an edge in the final battle.
After Macbeth was successfully crowned, his fear did not let go of him. Earlier in the play right before the murder of Duncan, Macbeth was afraid that if he would kill Duncan this sin would come back to haunt him. “ This even handed justice commends the ingredience of our poisoned chalice to our own lips”(Act 1 Sc. 7 p. 39). So now when everything seemed fine, Macbeth was actually very afraid that something was wrong.
Macbeth doesn't want Banquo to be in any part of his life, that's why why he killed him. Now that he's come back as a ghost (he's trembling/scared that Banquo will never leave him alone)
After the death of Duncan, Macbeth begins to distance himself from Lady Macbeth, and he becomes ambitious. Despite being a king, Macbeth is worried about Banquo:
Macbeth, the main character in William Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth was not secure in his manhood. This insecurity led to the downfall of Macbeth because he felt the need to prove himself to Lady Macbeth. After he proved himself by killing Duncan, Macbeth became desensitized to killing.

Later in the play Banquo starts to have a bad feeling about Macbeth. "Thou hast it now: King, Cowdor, Glamis, all,/ as the weird women promised, and I fear/ thou play'dst most foully for `t." III i 1-3, this is a quote from Banquo explaining how he feels about Macbeth's predictions coming true. Macbeth realizes this about Banquo and he starts to have feelings about killing Banquo. This isn't the only reason he feels this way, the witches had also made predictions for Banquo. "Thou shall get kings, though thou be none." I iii 67, Macbeth doesn't want any of Banquo's family to rule Scotland; he wants his own family to continue to rule. Macbeth hires two murderers to kill Banquo and his on Fleance. The murderers end up killing Banquo, but Fleance gets away.
In summary, it is very reasonable to determine that music therapy has been a pronounced development.

The second malicious decision chosen by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth was to have Banquo and his sons killed. This would cancel out the possibility of Banquo's sons becoming kings. In Act III scene 1, Macbeth states that Banquo and his sons would be murdered by saying, "Banquo, thy soul's flight, if it find heaven, must find it out tonight." (p.91) The consequence of the decision to kill Banquo and his sons started when Macbeth felt more guilt and developed a worried conscience in the form of a vision of Banquo's ghost.
Society sets a moral code to which its people gradually abide by and act upon, but in order for one to accomplish his or her unchecked ambitions; there is a need for a disapproval of ones’ integrity and societal responsibilities. Consequently, the fear existing within an individual can cause one to abandon his or her moral ethics during the stride to fulfill ones’ aspirations. Throughout the play, Macbeth, the Scottish Thane concedes his integrity towards the King in exchange of gaining his position as King. Macbeth’s journey from being loyal and collected to becoming arrogant and guilty exemplifies the impact of fear on an individual 's moral values and relationships. In the play, Macbeth, Shakespeare presents the argument that fear serves

Having murdered Duncan, Macbeth fears that Banquo will undermine his ill-gotten authority and destroy his lineage of sons in line to be king. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, who were both afraid, suspected that Banquo will undermine their authority; and thus their “fears in Banquo stick deep.” This demonstrates why Macbeth is as alarmed about Banquo as “Mark Antony was by Cæsar,” Macbeth compares himself to Mark Antony, and Banquo to Cæsar because Cæsar had beat Mark Antony in battle. Macbeth's words show that he is greatly dismayed and (according to the witches,) his “Barren scepter” will be “wrenched” from his “unlineal hand.” Macbeth believes that Banquo’s sons will be the heirs to the throne, and “wrench” the throne away from Macbeth’s descendents,

Music Therapy (which is using music in a therapeutic relationship to address cognitive, emotional, physical, and social needs of individuals) (1) has drastically changed in the past 15 year. These changes were brought about because of new insight from research into music and brain functions. Scientist have found that music and its counterparts are a highly structured auditory language that involves complex perception, cognition, and motor control in the brain.
Music Therapy has many different ways to help a patient or patients through the use of music. For instance, the composition of music can benefit a patient with improving their attentiveness for those that have a hard time staying concentrated on one thing. The recording process of music helps with the patients understanding emotion and how they want the lyrics of the song to be represented as. The performing portion of music helps with a patient’s communal skills. Being able to perform in front of a group of individuals assists patients that are apprehensive in front of big crowds.
