Response to Statements

4. Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.

Everyone has a specific personality, and has their own character and temperament. There are some things about a person that you can't change. Any mistakes or things you do, you can't take back. For example, all of the people Macbeth has killed. He can be sympathetic and feel bad about that, but he can't change the fact that those people are dead, and that he did it. You can change your appearance and try your best to change your personality, but your character is true and will always stay the same. I believe that God specifically made each and every person his or her own way and that there is up to a point in somebody that you can't change. So I agree with this statement as well, because you can change yourself up to a point, but part of you is unchangeable. 

5. Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.

I agree strongly with this statement, because in my opinion it is very true. Women are defiantly less violent than men. All men have a very defensive side to them as well as women but men’s defense is more violent in my opinion. Women are more sympathetic and more sensitive than most men. Macbeth is a very violent story so far. Specifically Macbeth shows his violent side as a man when he kills all the people who become a "threat" to him. So I strongly believe and agree with this statement.
