... that in the next 10 years there will be a flood of traditional style and people will be crying out for the personal touch of a photographer using chemicals in a darkroom.

... is absolutely shocked.
The witches prophecy has come true! He can not believe it! But now
Macbeth has a lot more on his mind; the third prophecy about becoming the
King. Macbeth knows that if something were to happen to Duncan, Malcolm
and Donalbain, Duncan's sons, would be the rightful heirs to the throne.
How can Macbeth be King when he is nowhere near the next in line to the
throne? Another requirement for a tragic hero is that he must have a
tragic flaw. Macbeth's tragic flaw is that of ambition; Macbeth's ambition
will cause him to decline.
At this point, Lady Macbeth knows all about the ...

... because of
his selfishness.

streets crying “My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!” as children followed
him, mocking him. This causes us to feel sympathy for Shylock, even though we
may feel him to be a villain. Besides the loss of his daughter and his ducats,
after the trial Shylock also looses his property and his religion. The loss of
his property was certainly a blow to Shylo ...
