In almost every individuals life, they will encounter a time where they feel a sense of guilt after they know they have done something wrong. It could be simply a thought, which can later build onto actions. Often times, individuals feel sympathy for others. They feel the need to compensate for themselves when situations have gone awry. Their overwhelming feelings are hidden in their subconscious part of the brain. In William Shakespeares play Macbeth, Lady Macbeths internal struggle, due to her spiteful actions, collides with her ability to psychologically function because of the inevitable and uncontrollable feeling of guilt in human conscience, which ultimately leads to her suicide.
