What kind of a ruler has Macbeth become at the end of act 3?

He's become a tyrant who has left people in fear of what they say. He's started losing all sense of guilt for what he's done to Banquo and Duncan, which he shows by killing Macduff's family. He's still weak because of his reaction to Banquo's ghost but after seeing him he begins to feel better because he believes he has put his ghost at rest and is no longer haunted by Banquo. Also, you can say Macbeth created Banquo's ghost in his imagination because he feels the guilt (he can't bring himself to say he's murdered Banquo) and until he can admit what he's done, that's when his feelings of guilt and remorse deteriorate

How does Macbeth handle the threat posed by Macduff?

Malcom tests Macduff by saying he is going to be a horrible king. He says that this is a test to see if Macduff will continue to support him even if he was worse than Macbeth. If Macduff said he would then Malcolm would know him for a toady who would agree to anything. He then claims to be well-nigh perfect, and that he has never told a lie before the whopper he just told to Macduff. Yeah, right. Anyway, Macduff is prepared to go along with him because he would do anything to get rid of Macbeth.


Why can't the sergeant captain go on with his tale in Macbeth?

You must be talking about when Macduff discovers that Duncan has been murdered, and Lady M shows up in her nightie wondering what happened. This is the only time the two of them are on stage at the same time. MacDuff says, "The repetition, in a woman's ear, would murder as it fell."It sounds likehe thinks that if he tells her that the king is lying in a pool of blood upstairs, she will die of fright/shock/embarassment. This is of course ridiculous if you know anything about Lady Macbeth. But Macduff doesn't really believe it anyway since he immediately thereafter says to Banquo "O, Banquo, Banquo, our royal master's murder'd!" while Lady Macbeth is standing right there. Clearly there is some kind of silly custom here that you cannot tell a woman bad news toher face, but it is OK to let her overhear when you tell someone else. In any case, Lady Macbeth's next remark "What, in our house?" is telling and takes Macduff and Banquo aback. The king has been killed and she is worried about stains on the carpet.


How are the roles of fathers portrayed in Macbeth?

There are only three characters in the play who are clearly fathers: Duncan, Banquo and Macduff. Duncan is prepared to influence the succession in Scotland for the benefit of his son, who is probably not the best candidate for king, and so is a doting father of sorts. He does not seem to have much to say about his younger son. Macduff is quite effusive over the loss of his children, but as his wife bitterly complains, does not actually take any steps to protect them when he flees to England: "Wisdom! To leave his wife, to leave his babes, his mansion and his titles in a place from whence himself does fly?" Banquo is the only father who shows some real fatherly feeling and bonding with his son Fleance, especially at the opening of Act II Scene 1, and whose last words are advice to Fleance to save himself.


Did Malcolm play a practical joke on macduff?

Yes, Malcolm did play a practical joke on Macduff, but it was not meant to be malicious. In Act 4, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Malcolm pretends to be unfit to rule, describing his own vices and shortcomings to test Macduff's loyalty and resolve. This ruse is a way for Malcolm to determine whether Macduff is truly committed to the cause of overthrowing Macbeth and restoring Scotland. Ultimately, it shows Malcolm's cautious nature and his need to ensure he can trust Macduff.


Who shows up at Macbeth's palace and ruins the banquet after Banquo's murder?

Banquo's ghost. But let's be fair; Macbeth told him to "fail not our feast", and Banquo didn't, even though he was dead.


What evidence is there that's Banquo macduff and the other do not trust Macbeth?

At various times in the play various lords show their mistrust and suspicion for Macbeth. Macduff shows it when he refuses to attend Macbeth's coronation at the end of Act II. Banquo starts Act three by saying "I fear thou play'dst most foully for't". In Act III Scene 6 Lennox expresses his suspicions of Macbeth. Ross arrives in England in Act IV Scene 3 to deliver a message as usual, but it is clear that he will not return to Scotland.
