Macbeth is similar to a bat because bats work together, which is similar to how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth planned and carried out the murder plans together. The Bestiary site says that "if one falls, they all fall", which is similar to how Macbeth cannot stop after killing just Duncan, he must continue to "make them fall" by killing everyone else who is a threat to his throne. These include Banquo, Fleance, and perhaps a few more to come.

The bat in Macbeth's speech is a symbol for the murders he has committed. Bats are described as not noble and not normal compared to other birds. Macbeth gains his position of King of Scotland by killing the previous king, Duncan.

In the bestiary, it says that bats hang together, and when one falls, the rest fall. This can characterize Scotland under Macbeth as king. When Macbeth’s plot is uncovered, all of Scotland will begin to fall apart.

Macbeth can be compared to a snake. The snake is a very sick and twisted predator. It scares away its prey and is hated by many. Macbeth is similar to that in a way that after being crowned king, he abuses his power and many brutal actions make him hated as a tyrant.

Macbeth can be compared to a crow. The crow is a bird that tells and deals in the future. Macbeth tries to see into the future and what to do with the sucession problem. Also, along with the sucession problem, crow's protect their young and feed them. Macbeth is looking out for his young by killing off Banquo and Fleance so his children can have the throne. If he ever has any.

A bat is a symbol of Macbeth becasue a bat is considered not noble. Macbeth forces himself into nobility through murder of the previous king which is also also not noble.

Macbeth symbolizes a crow because crows are said to have an important relationship to its mate, similair to the influences Macbeth and Ladybeth have over one another. The crow is also said to be protective and caring toward their young and Macbeth goes to great length to secure the throne for his own lineage and prevent Banquo's children from inheriting power.

Macbeth can be compared to a snake. A snake attacks people who are clothed, meaning have sinned, but don't attack people that are naked, pure. A snake, or fortune, attacks Macbeth who has sinned by killing Duncan and Banqou. The snake attacks Macbeth and gives him a guilty conscious for his actions and wont let him forget. If Macbeth was pure and didn't sin the snake would leave him alone.

In the bestiary it describes the crow as a bird that first pecks out the eye in a human corpse. As Macbeth tries to eliminate all who could potentially leak information of Duncan's true murderer, he is essentially "pecking out their eyes".

Macbeth can be compared to a snake because he betrays people who have not wronged him. He kills Duncan while he is sleeping and has Banquo killed when he is not expecting it. In this sense, he is like a snake in how he attacks his enemy. A snake slithers up to an enemy, not revealing itself until the last moment, which is similar to Macbeth cowardly murdering Duncan and Banquo when they do not expect it. Also, when a human is compared to a snake, there are connotations of sneaking and betraying someone behind their back.

“O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife! Thou know'st that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives.” Scorpions are described as a plague and a curse. His thoughts of Banquo and Fleance taking his crown from him are causing a plague in his mind. The scorpion tail is always primed to kill. Macbeth is ready to kill anyone that wants to take his throne.

The crow is a noble bird that represents parenting. In Macbeth parents and their children play a large role, Duncan and Malcolm, Banquo and Fleance. Although the relationship is so important Macbeth and Lady Macbeth don't have children. In Macbeth's speach he says that the crow is returning home to the woods in the next few pages Banquo is killed ending the life of a parent as the bird goes home.

The snake is always coiled or twisted, never straight. Macbeth is a very twisted man. He becomes Thane of Cawdor after the witches tell him his future. Macbeth then kills Duncan because the witches said he will become king. The witches never said he had to kill anyone to become king. He did not have to kill anyone to become Thane of Cawdor either. Macbeth becomes power hungry and kills an innocent man. The snake does not kill a man who is naked or pure. This maybe another reason Macbeth becomes twisted and crazy since he killed Duncan, an innocent man.

Macbeth can be compared to a snake in the sense that he is decietful and scheming. The snake is known for crawling with hidden steps, and Macbeth has stayed behind the scenes for all of his michevious plans, one by hiring others to fulfil the murders of Banquo and Fleance. Macbeth has twisted his own fate, by spiraling into more and more troubles, as a snake is never straight. Macbeth once feared sin, and the murder he has commited follows him like the snake he now inhabits. Macbeth must shed his sin as a snake would, but he continues the venemous, twisted path.

Macbeth is like a snake. Macbeth plans two murders to fulfill his prophecy to become king and stay king. In order to do so, he must be sly and stealthy, just like a snake crawls with hidden steps. Snakes are never straight, but coiled and twisted, just like Macbeth's mind.

Macbeth can be compared to a bat because it is said that when one bat falls from the group, the whole group falls. This can be compared to the royal banquet because when Macbeth was calm, that feeling spread to the people around him. But when Macbeth went crazy, the people around him went a little crazy, too. Bats also are also different than all the other birds, and I think Macbeth sets himself apart from others because he has such a distinct personality.

The beetle is not birthed through intercourse but is born from flesh or wood. Flesh is associated with dead bodies as opposed to living people. Macbeth kills many people thus he provides the flesh that the beetle is born from. The beetle can also hint at the fact that Macbeth has no heir. Even if he and Lady Macbeth are trying, intercourse has not succeeded in giving them a child. Maybe they will have a child, but it will only be conceived with the men that Macbeth wants to be killed dead. The child would then be conceived ‘through’ the flesh of the men Macbeth killed.

Macbeth is similar to the snake because he is mischeavous. Macbeth’s plan to kill Banquo and Fleance backfired because Fleance escaped from the murderers. In the allegory/moral section the writer states, “After Adam and Eve sinned, they realized they were naked and clothed themselves; the "naked man" could therefore represent the "pure" state of humanity, before sin, and the "clothed man" the corrupted state of humanity, subject to sin.” Instead of clothing, Macbeth has a layer of blood on his hands representing his sinful and reckless behavior. The stealthy way Macbeth hires the hitmen to kill Banquo and Fleance is very similar to the way the snake sneaks up on its prey.

Like a snake, Macbeth is coiled and twisted, crawling along with small movements. He slowly and secretly kills off everyone that gets in the way of his crown. Also, a snake sheds off its skin, seeming to enter a new form of being. After Macbeth commits his first murder, he sheds his old skin of innocence and enters a new phase, filled with guilt and fear.

Macbeth is similar to a bat because of the murder he has committed. A bat is not noble and Macbeth is not noble wen he kills Duncan to become king. If one falls, all the rest also fall. Macbeth kills Duncan but now he must get rid of everyone who is a threat to him and who could become king.

The belief that if a snake tastes the spit of a fasting man dies can be related to Macbeth because it might be foreshadowing that Macbeth is going to die for killing Duncan.

Macbeth can be symbolized by a scorbion. Scorpions, "are a plagued curse" as Macbeth seems to be a curse to the Scottish kingdom, killing all those in his way to the throne. Macbeths vilent predisposition relates to the scorpions tail always in motion and ready to strike. The scorpion is viewed as a deadly pest and Macbeth seems to be on his way to becoming a pest to all of Scotland.
