> 2. Macbeth’s murder of Duncan in Act 2 represents the point of no return, after which Macbeth is forced to continue butchering his subjects to avoid the consequences of his crime. The song from Phantom of the Opera 'The Point of No Return' is the obvious choice for this moment in the play. In both the song, and Macbeth, the characters have gone metaphorically and physically to a place of which there is no going back. They are essentially trapped. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyyCz9z1s_M 3. Banquo begins to suspect Macbeth for the murder of King Duncan and Macbeth in turn feels that Banquo will reveal that it was he that killed the King. Therefore, Macbeth sends out some thugs to murder Banquo and his son, Fleance. Banquo is murdered, but Fleance escapes. Carrie Underwood's song 'Before He Cheats' is a song about finding out her boyfriend had cheated on her and going to wreck his car. Although slightly reversed, this is much like what is happening in the play. Macbeth hears that Banquo could reveal that he was a murderer so he sends people to kill him. Both the song and the play are about people ruining (and ending) the possessions and lives of others who ruined, or could potential damage their feelings and ambitions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAFvlknsT4U
 * 1) 1. Lady Macbeth’s speeches goad Macbeth into murdering Duncan and seizing the crown. In Act 1 scene 7, Lady Macbeth wonders what kind of "beast" Macbeth had been when he agreed to kill Duncan. He would have to be a man to have that kind of courage. Lady Macbeth had to convince her husband to gather up all his manliness so that he could have the courage to go and kill the king. The song 'I'll Make a Man Out of You" was song by a man who was training soldiers to become stronger and read to fight. This is essentially what Lady M is doing to Macbeth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64

4. The singer in the song 'Titanium' tells the story of a person who is invincible and quoting from the song "bullet proof". The three witches tell Macbeth (through their apparitions) that he too is invincible and no naturally born man can kill him. This gives Macbeth a sense of safety and (had they had guns back then), he would have thought of himself as bulletproof.

5. In Act 5 we see a whole different side of Lady Macbeth. The usually strong, stubborn and defiant woman is suddenly guilty and foreworn. It seems as if a whole different person has entered the play. This is much like Miley Cyrus's life in her TV show "Hannah Montana". Miley is just a normal girl living in a normal house with a dad and older brother. At nights, she was a rock star who had millions of fans. There couldn't be two people more different. This is much like when Lady Macbeth has her break down and changes of character. The song "Best of Both Worlds" highlights the two conflicting parts of her life. If this song was written for Lady M, it would be about the life of a strong willed wife of an important political figure, and the emotional and weak wife of a murder suspect.

6. In the very end of the play, Macduff who was originally acquaintances, almost friends with Macbeth turns and kills him. To me, this scene is more about ruining relationships with people than the need for fame and power. I picked the song 'How to Save a Life' because it illustrates the story of two former friends who are now separated. One of them didn't kill the other, but their friendship was on the rocks. The finale of their friendship was Macbeth saying "Lay on, Macduff, / And damn'd be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!' "
