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.
Macbeth is seeing the ghost of Banquo and this is causing him to act crazily, spoiling the party. Lady M tries to get him to settle down. But things get worse. Macbeth starts to say things which might give away the fact that he had Banquo murdered. Lady M then decides that she has to get rid of the guests.
Macbeth cannot get away from his evil; it is a part of him.
The ghost upset Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] by sitting in the royal seat at the banquet. In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth planned the murder of his friend and former fellow General Banquo. In Scene 3, the murder was carried out by three murderous thugs. In Scene 4, Macbeth hosted a post-coronation celebration banquet to which he hypocritically had invited Banquo. Just before the banquet, Macbeth learned that the thugs had botched the killing. Banquo's throat indeed had been slit. But Banquo's son Fleance had escaped. Macbeth had wanted father and son dead, to prevent Banquo's family from taking over the Scottish crown and throne. At the banquet, Macbeth tried to keep up his hypocritical act of being Banquo's friend. He accused Banquo of deciding not to attend out of discourtesy instead of misadventure. At that point, Banquo's ghost showed up and sat in Macbeth's seat. No one else could see the ghost. It was Banquo's way of saying that Macbeth's murderous plan wasn't going to keep Banquo's line off the Scottish throne. Macbeth subsequently toasted Banquo again. This time, and more kindly, he claimed to be missing his friend's presence. Banquo's ghost again showed up, for Macbeth's eyes only.
Well, honey, those witches from 'Macbeth' are all about stirring up trouble, so I'd say "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett fits them to a T. And let's not forget "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles, because those ladies are definitely giving off some serious witchy vibes. Lastly, "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins is the cherry on top for those spell-casting gals.

Blood is shown in the scene where Macbeth murders King Duncan in his sleep. Macbeth responds to the blood with guilt and horror, feeling overwhelmed by his actions and haunted by his conscience. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, dismisses the blood as a simple inconvenience that can be easily washed away, focusing on the practical aspects of the situation rather than the moral implications.
That depends on who you mean by the guest, and when. In Act 3, Scene 1, Macbeth calls Banquo "our chief guest." Macbeth is the one who dismisses Banquo after that conversation, saying "Hie you to horse. Adieu, / Till your return at night." If you mean the guests at the dinner party in Act 3, Scene 4 (after Banquo has been murdered and is appearing at the dinner as a ghost), Lady Macbeth dismisses them by saying "At once, good night. / Stand not upon the order of your going, / But go at once."

A pun in 'Macbeth' can be found in Act 2, Scene 3, when the Porter makes a play on words by joking about how alcohol "provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance." This humorous wordplay serves as comic relief in an otherwise intense and tragic play.
Macbeth cannot get away from his evil; it is a part of him.
In "Macbeth," the sleepwalking scene is foreshadowed through Lady Macbeth's earlier obsession with washing her hands to remove the imagined bloodstains after Duncan's murder, indicating her deep-seated guilt. Additionally, her line about "a little water clears us of this deed" contrasts sharply with her later psychological unraveling, suggesting that the guilt will not easily be washed away. The witches' prophecies and the recurring motif of sleep throughout the play also hint at the turmoil and unrest that will manifest in Lady Macbeth's eventual breakdown.
After the Doctor gives his diagnosis in Act V Scene 3, we do not see him again. It is suggested that he leaves the castle as his exit line is "Were I from Dunsinane away and clear, profit again should hardly draw me here." Lady Macbeth dies in Scene 5, after the Doctor leaves, so we have no way of knowing what he might have thought of her death.

Macbeth disposed of the guards who could witness against him, claiming to have killed them in revenge for Duncan's murder. Then Malcolm and Donalbain helped Macbeth's cause by running away and making themselves look guilty.
