Who is charged to 'fail not our feast' - and why is this ironic In Macbeth?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Macbeth is charged to not fail the feast by Lady Macbeth. This is ironic because, despite her admonition, Macbeth does indeed fail to keep the feast when he sees the ghost of Banquo, revealing his guilt and inward turmoil to all the guests. This contrasts with Lady Macbeth's efforts to maintain an appearance of normalcy and control.

What in both cases summoned the ghost in Macbeth?
In both cases, the ghost that appears in Macbeth is summoned by the guilt and inner turmoil of Macbeth himself. The ghost of Banquo is a manifestation of Macbeth's guilt over his role in Banquo's murder, while the ghost of Lady Macbeth represents his guilt over her death and his descent into madness.

In what part of Macbeth and Plan do the two murderers succeed and in what part do they fail?
The two murderers in Macbeth succeed in carrying out the murder of Banquo, as ordered by Macbeth. However, they fail in killing Fleance, Banquo's son, who manages to escape.
Why does the ghost of Banquo sit in Macbeth's place?
It's difficult to say. One possibility is that the ghost was fulfilling Banquo's promise to "fail not the feast" and so he sits in the only available place. Or possibly, he wants to sit in the place which will be sure to get Macbeth's attention. Or he is trying to twist Macbeth's tail by reminding him of the witches' prophecy by sitting in the king's seat, except that the prophecy said his children would be kings not him.
What does Macbeth's vision of Banquo's ghost show about Macbeth's state of mind?
It depends on whether you think the ghost is real or not. If it is real, it is not about Macbeth's mind, but about Banquo's spirit seeking justice, or alternatively keeping his promise to "fail not our feast". But if you think that the ghost is imaginary, a false creation of Macbeth's heat-oppressed brain, then it tends to show the guilt which is eating away at his sanity, and prompting him to become obsessive about his safety.
