Banquo is killed but his son, Fleance, escapes :)
Hard to say exactly. He killed Duncan himself, so he doesn't count. He has Banquo killed. He has Lady Macduff killed. He has Macduff's children (unclear how many of these there are, but more than two anyway) and Servants (again unclear how many) killed. Do we want to count the soldiers who died fighting for him? Probably not.
Many people, both named and nameless, died in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. In terms of the nameless, there were the unnamed soldiers who were killed during the opening act's battles between the armies of friends and fellow Generals Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Banquo; and the armies of Macdonwald the rebellious Scotsman, King Sweno [c. 1016-1035] of Norway, and the treacherous Thane of Cawdor. There also were the unnamed soldiers who were killed during the closing act's battles between the armies of King Macbeth, and the armies under Siward, Earl of Northumberland and General of the English forces. And in between, there were the unnamed people of Scotland who suffered under 17 bleeding years of the Macbeths' tyrannical rule. In terms of the named, the first person to die was the rebellious Macdonwald, who was killed by Macbeth. The second was the disgraced, traitorous Thane of Cawdor. Third was King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], along with his two nameless royal guards. Fourth was Banquo. Fifth was Lady Macduff, along with all the unnamed members of her family and her household. Sixth was Lady Macbeth, who committed suicide by unspecified means. Seventh was Young Siward. And eighth was Macbeth.
Technically Macbeth only murdered Duncan in the begining and young siward at the end. Then he had the murderers go to kill Fleance and his father. Fleance escaped so he wouldn't count, and Macbeth also had the murders go to kill the Thane of Fife (macduff) and ends up only having the family killed. Macbeths wife in the end dies of what no one really knows but it can be argued that he was the cause of her death. He also slays young siward before macduff challenges him. So it really depends on how you look at it. If you want to know how many he killed with his own hands then 2.
In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the number of soldiers is not explicitly stated. However, the play does feature several references to armies, battles, and military forces. The size of the army can vary depending on the production and interpretation of the director and can range from a few dozen soldiers to hundreds or more. Ultimately, the exact number of soldiers in "Macbeth" is left to the imagination of the audience and the creative choices of the production team.
so macbeth doesn't know how many people are coming
In this scene Lennox talks about how Macduff has fled to England. There are no "Scottish noblemen from England"--they are from Scotland, and that is why they are Scottish. Macduff is, however, a Scottish nobleman in England, and there are soon to be many others. Shortly, as well, Siward and Northumberland are going to be English noblemen in Scotland, since they will accompany Malcolm's invasion.
There are six men who reign as king in Shakespeare's Macbeth: Duncan, Macbeth, Malcolm, Donalbain, Macbeth's son, and Macduff.
Macbeth's kingdom is crumbling because his subjects are turning against him, with many rebelling and joining forces against him. Additionally, there are signs of moral decay and psychological torment within Macbeth himself, as he becomes increasingly paranoid and consumed by guilt. The unnatural occurrences in the natural world, such as dark storms and animals behaving erratically, also serve as evidence of the kingdom's disintegration.
The deaths of four (4) people are attributed directly to Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Macbeth is identified as the killer of the rebel Macdonwald in Act I Scene II and of King Duncan (d. August 14, 1040) and two (2) royal guards in Act II Scene II. He also orchestrates the murders of Banquo in Act III Scene I and of the Macduff household in Act IV Scene I. Additionally, Macbeth's job under the previous king is General. So he is paid to kill, and continues to do so as king until all Scotland bleeds, according to the play.
Many many actors have played the part of Macbeth in many many productions over the last 400 years. There are far too many to list or even to find out about. David Garrick was famous for playing Macbeth. That was in the 1700s.
"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare has a total of 2,105 lines.
