Macbeth

Scotland

Macbeth does not kill Banquo himself possibly because Banquo was his best friend and he could not bear to do it. Furthermore, in not committing the murder itself, he avoids being suspected of the crime.

I think they are both captains, S1A2, "Dismayed not this, our captains, Macbeth and Banquo?"

Hope it helped.

hw did the three figures look in Macbeth?

"Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it." That's what she says, anyway. It's probable that if that fairly lame excuse had not occurred to her, she would have thought of another. You might look on Lady Macbeth as one of these people who is all talk and no action. She talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk. So we find the woman who would have dashed the brains out of her own child saying that she won't kill a man that sort of looks like her dad. Yeah, right.

Not well. He says to the murderer, "Then comes my fit again . . . but now I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound in to saucy doubts and fears." He is afraid that Fleance will overthow him because of the witches' prophecy that Banquo will "get kings". He doesn't seem to remember that when it is Malcolm who is marching on him, not Fleance.

Thane Yost was the singular point in the revival of the Brown Dragons.... he used his legendary wit and cunning to circumnavigate a point between the plane of Atari and the plane of Algora and resurrected Beatrice to defeat the melancholy of Arthur the Vain. After a long fought battle Thane Yost banished Arthur's soul into the sword of the Crystal Flame and broke it into 13 pieces. Each piece has been hidden away to prevent Arthur's return. Today only 6 of the 13 pieces have ever been located. Thane Yost lives on forever as the savior of all mankind and the messiah of the Brown Dragons.

She dies offstage.......

And then Macbeth asked Macbeth if he confronted Macbeth on killing Macbeth with Macbeth.

Macbeth was never a prince. He held many titles in Scotland and by murdering the king gained that title for himself, however he was never a prince.

He changes the name of their titles from the Scottish word "thane" to the English one "earl". What a cheapskate. Some productions have played on the fact that Malcolm leads an army consisting mostly of Englishmen into Scotland where he gives everyone English titles as being offensive to Scottish nationalism.

Lady Macbeth had similar vision just like her husband. When she heard of the King's visit to her castle, she resolved that the king would not live the castle alive.

Macbeth was persuaded into the murders against his will in Act 1 Scene 7, and never was really comfortable with them. Immediately after killing Duncan he says "Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst." which shows he regrets it already. At the same time he hears a voice which says "Sleep no more".

When contemplating the murder of Banquo he reflects on the witches' prophecy that Banquo's heirs will become king and says, "for Banquo's issue have I fil'd my mind, for them the gracious Duncan have I murdered, put rancours in the vessel of my peace . . ." His mind is "filed" and his peace is disturbed. He finds the price he is paying for his guilt too high just for him to become king--he wants more reward for his pain. Later he says to Lady Macbeth that he would rather be dead than suffer "these terrible dreams that shake us nightly."

After the ghost of Banquo appears, Lady M says "You lack the season of all natures, sleep." She's noticed he's not sleeping too well too. Half of Macbeth wishes he had never embarked on this career of murder, and the other half tells him he is already committed and cannot go back now. "I am in blood stepped so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er."

Macbeth becomes a murder addict: he cannot stop and he wishes he had never started. Eventually his peace of mind, his ability to sleep and everything else worth living for is stripped away. What is especially sad is that Macbeth sees it happening and comments on it, from "I have fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf . . ." to the recognition of the complete meaninglessness of his life in the chilling "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Macbeth is in Hell and he knows it.

What does Lennox hope for? He hopes that Macduff return quickly and frees their country which is suffering under a tyrant! ( line 33).

Leo (unlike Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet who we know was a Leo, we are just guessing here): If you go out to a party, take a cab home. Bad things will happen if you decide to stay the night. Also, beware of flowers which look innocent but may have serpents under them. Leos who are also King of Scotland may want to revise their wills. Very soon.

Macbeth does not reveal his plan to kill Banquo and Fleance (Banquo's son) to Lady Macbeth.

A character in Macbeth. He appears only twice, once in Act 5, Scene 3, and again in Act 5, Scene 5. The Shakespeare Navigators page on him says, "it appears that Seyton is a combination of butler and military officer. Seyton doesn't have much character, but his name sounds like "Satan."

It is important because being hit in the chest proves that he decided to fight Macbeth head on instead of fighting, indicating the respect he has earned. If his wounds originated from his back, it shows that he attempted to run away from the battle, earning him the title of a coward.

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

In Act 1, Scene 2 Macbeth written by Shakespeare

The first apparition warned Macbeth, 'Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth: beware Macduff, Beware the Thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough'

This is a quote from Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It should be punctuated, "What? Can the devil speak true?" which is what Banquo says when the witches' prophecy about Macbeth becoming Thane of Cawdor comes true.
