The central theme of this artwork revolves around the consequences of unchecked ambition. The crown, shaped in the form of a bear trap, serves as a symbolic representation of Macbeth’s inevitable fate. Ambition, the propelling force driving Macbeth, pushes him along an inescapable path of destruction. As he chose to commit increasingly heinous crimes to secure and consolidate his power, he eventually finds himself consumed by overwhelming guilt, leading to his moral decay and eventual downfall. The inclusion of shackles in the artwork serves to depict the burdensome weight of guilt weighing on Macbeth. Moreover, the dagger at the center of the crown represents his initial heinous act—-the murder of the king, a precursor to the subsequent crimes committed to maintain his grip on power after toppling the crown. These symbolic representations are integral to conveying the moral and psychological consequences of his actions. The interactive aspect of the project is noteworthy. When a person grasps the dagger at the crown’s center, triggering the mechanism, the entire trap snaps shut. This seemingly promising crown transforms into a trap, and the points of the crown that initially symbolized authority and dominion now metamorphose into spikes of corruption. The struggle against the trap mirrors the tightening grip of guilt– the more one resists, the deeper the emotional and moral wounds become. Stepping into this metaphorical trap becomes a point of no return, mirroring Macbeth’s descent into irreversible moral degradation. I believe that Macbeth’s tragic downfall commenced with the pivotal act of regicide. "Is this a dagger which I see before me, / The handle toward my hand?" (Act 2, Scene 1).  As the play progresses, Macbeth reflects on the irreversibility of his actions: "I am in blood / Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o'er." (Act 3, Scene 4). The phrase “I am in blood” suggests that he is deeply immersed in violence and wrongdoings, and the ambition that drove Macbeth to commit heinous acts, ultimately resulted in his tragic demise. Macbeth becomes ensnared within a trap, suffering from the repercussions of his guilt: *"O, full of scorpions is my mind!"* (Act 3, Scene 2), and "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand?" (Act 2, Scene 2). In both quotes, he expresses the mental torments he is experiencing, underscoring the psychological and emotional consequences of his deeds.
