Act 1 of "Macbeth" had seven scenes.

Specifically, the first scene introduced the three witches. The second scene involved the Sergeant's report on Macbeth's brave and noble defense of king and country against traitorous Scots and invading Norwegians. The third scene matched the predictions of the witches, with their fulfillment in the bestowing of the lands and titles of the Thane of Cawdor upon Macbeth.

The fourth scene revealed the trusting esteem in which King Duncan I (d. August 14, 1040) held Macbeth and his intention to spend the night at the Macbeth castle of Inverness. In contrast, the fifth scene showed the single-minded, raging ambitions of Lady Macbeth regarding herself and her husband. The sixthscene once again told of the King's bestowing of favors and honors upon Macbeth and his wife. The seventh scene worked out Macbeth's hesitations to resort to murder and his wife's determination to commit the heinous crime.

What does the device of the aside used by Macbeth convey to the audience about his character?

Macbeth's soliloquies show his true thoughts and his true character, because a theme in Macbeth is appearance vs reality. Macbeth acts differently from his asides because he's trying not to show his inner-turmoil and distress or guilt. For example, when he speaks to Duncan, in his aside, Macbeth has darker thoughts, but when speaking to Duncan, he acts like he worships the man.


What are the names of the 5 acts in Macbeth?

The Acts don't have names, only numbers. Possibly the names you are thinking of are the names of the five parts of Freytag's Pyramid, a kind of analytical device for looking at the structure of a play. But Freytag's Pyramid (theorectically) applies to all plays, not just to Macbeth.

During which acts does Macbeth see ghosts?

Macbeth sees ghosts in multiple acts. One of the most famous scenes is when he sees Banquo's ghost in Act 3 Scene 4 during his dinner.

One important soliloquy is in Act 1 before the murder of Duncan. In theory ghosts, and apparitions are apparent in all five acts of Macbeth.
