Who are the two people Macbeth wants killed in act 3 scene 1?

Macbeth wants to do away with Banquo and his son. The Murderers succeed with Banquo, but not the son, ans Banquo's bloody ghost appears to Macbeth during the Lords' Banquet.


What is ironic about Macbeths toast to Banquo?

Macbeth says that he wishes Banquo was present at the dinner, yet Macbeth murdered Banquo. Macbeth proposed a toast to Banquo so that the Lords would not suspect Macbeth of any foul play. However, later on in this scene Macbeth betrayed himself. He thought he could see Banquos ghost, and he was acting strangely. The Lords were very confused and thought he was going mad and Lady Macbeth had to act for Macbeth and try and save their reputation.


What do the three witches foretell in act one scene 3?

Macbeth has three "weird sisters". In the Folio copy, there are not only the three witches but a fourth, called Hecat, who is their boss. In addition, during the Cauldron Scene, a stage direction says "enter Hecat, and the other three witches" which would make seven witches all told. However, the character of Hecat is very silly and is always cut when this play is actually performed.


Who is Macbeths servant?

Seyton was an officer who attended and served Macbeth. He was mentioned by name in Act 5 Scene 3 Line 19. He confirmed the massing of the combined English-Scottish forces against Macbeth [Line 31]. He reappeared in Scene 5, and confirmed the fears of the castlewomen at the coming battle and the death of Lady Macbeth [Line 16].


What is Macbeth doing while lady Macbeth is talking in the beginning of act 2 scene 1?

In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.

How do the soldiers' feelings about Macbeth change over the course of the play?

This is a hard question to answer because we do not hear much from the soldiers in Macbeth's army after Act 1 Scene 2, where the bloody sergeant praises him to the skies. The bloody sergeant was certainly proud of Macbeth as a courageous soldier. As the play goes on, however, we do not hear much from the soldiers serving under Macbeth, although we see him mistreat messengers by calling them "cream-faced loon" and the like. It's hard to imagine that it was much fun being Seyton, Macbeth's batman, being commanded to put on and take off his armour all the time. The only word we hear from common soldiery about Macbeth late in the play is in Act V Scene 2 where a number of Scottish lords, who have decided to defect to Malcolm, discuss the situation. One of them, Angus, says, "Those he commands move only in command, nothing in love." The scene is intended to show that loyalty to Macbeth is waning rapidly, both among the lords, whom we see, and among the common servants and soldiers, who we hear about.

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.


How do the interactions in act 5.2 and 5.3 further develop the character of macbeth?

Act V Scene 2 is a conversation among a number of Scottish Lords who have joined up with Malcolm. They do talk about Macbeth, but their remarks tell us more about them and why they left Scotland than about Macbeth himself. The suggestion is, however, that an increasing number of Scotsmen are unsatisfied with him as a king at this point. Scene 3 is more revealing, because we see Macbeth needlessly abusing one of his innocent servants, we hear him acknowledge that he is cursed (confirming the reports in the previous scene), putting on his armour and then taking it off, and dismissing the Doctor. His behaviour is so rude and erratic that the Doctor wants nothing better than to get out of there. But at the same time we see that Macbeth has acknowledged that all hope of any pleasure in life has gone, and yet he still hopes to find a cure for his wife's problems. He will lose the last vestiges of humanity when he hears of her death, the last human being for whom he has any feelings.
