Macbeth is stuck in
restless ecstasy when he becomes king. He is ecstatic that he has achieved his
dream. However, the violence he used can be just as easily be used against
him. Macbeth knows this in Act 1 Scene 7, "we but teach bloody
instructions, which, being taught, return to plague th’ inventor."
Although Macbeth is ecstatic that he has achieved his goal, he must constantly
look behind his shoulder to make sure he does not meet the same end as Duncan.
