Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Macbeth is talking to Lady Macbeth about being tortured by nightmares.

[Macbeth.] Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy.

What is the universal theme in this excerpt?

humanity’s search for meaning in the world
the consuming power of guilt
the relationship between violence and human nature
love’s power to change a person
