Macbeth

"When shall we three meet again

In thunder, lightning, and in rain?

When the hurly-burly's done

When the battle's lost and won."

Clearly two events that are going on are a thunderstorm and a battle.

The first apparition, an armed head, foreshadows that Macduff will join the army against Macbeth. The second, the bloody child, does not so much foreshadow as reveal the truth about Macduff--that he was born by caesarian section. The third, a crowned child with a tree in his hand, foreshadows that Malcolm, the crowned child, will carry a tree in his hand while fulfilling the prophecy which the apparition speaks.

No one. His audience was located on three levels in the theater. The bottom floor was young men standing. They were a rowdy group that shouted at the actors, threw food, and didn't listen much to the play. The first floor were people sitting and watching the play. They paid closer attention to it and the upper floor was filled with prostitution working the single men from the bottom floor. There were also women selling Oranges on the bottom floor. The audiences of the time loved all the witches and ghosts in his story and he always used the elements of nature in his plays. The strange happenings are "what made the play." After all the "play is the thing."

The king

She tells him that he has to die so MacBeth can become king.

The army breaks off branches from the trees in Birnam wood and carries the branches with them as they march on Macbeth's castle.

Apex

People believed that all witches were women, therefore if they are witches they "should be women". Actually that belief has not changed much.

They weren't wishes, but witches who tell him he will kill Duncan, be king, and that the forest will move to the castle.

The play starts with a war between Scotland and Norway. The Norwegians have attacked in two places: in the north and in the south. In the North the Norwegians are aided by the Scottish traitor Macdonweald, and some Irish "kerns and gallowglasses." The Scottish force, led by Macbeth and Banquo and including Duncan's son Malcolm meets them at a place called Forres. The battle is described by the bloody sergeant. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles to the south, a different Norwegian army led by the Norwegian king, assisted by the Scottish traitor The Thane of Cawdor, attacks Fife but is defeated by a Scottish force led by a man known only as "Bellona's bridegroom". The Thane of Ross rides north and describes this battle to Duncan, who is at Forres. Between the two battles, all the Scotsmen are on Duncan's side except the two traitors Macdonweald (who is bisected by Macbeth) and the Thane of Cawdor (who is captured by "Bellona's bridegroom").

She pushes MacBeth to kill the king and by doing so fulfills the witches predictions.

Who kills Macbeth and how does his killer fulfill the prophecy concerning not being born of woman

I think it should Be pretty and magical looking, kinda like a fairy type dress. Or like a plain pink or light colored dress.

OR you could go simple: like black dress pants and a nice dressy shirt.

Hope I helped!!!!! =]

Because of his guilt in the death of Duncan and the witches prophesied that he would find the forest moving towards the castle and this scared him.

Rhythm and rhyme. The piece is in rhyming couplets and iambic tetrameter. Now to be fair, the witches often speak in couplets in the other scenes in which they appear (I,1; I,3; IV,1), but it is not generally sustained for such a long passage. And they do speak in iambic tetrameter sometimes, but more commonly in trochaic tetrameter (e.g. "Double, double, toil and trouble", "Something wicked this way comes", "Here I have a pilot's thumb"). The Hecate speech from III, v is unusual also that it is a sustained speech from one character, when most of the witches' speeches tend to be shared among them. And it has a sing-song quality which comes not only from the rhythm and the rhyme but also from the fact that the phrases end at the end of lines most of the time; Shakespeare by this point in his career was phrasing lines so that they did not correspond so neatly with the rhythm, to avoid this sing-song effect. This is one of several reasons to believe that this speech was not written by Shakespeare, but by a later reviser.

Strictly speaking, it is in act 1 scene 1 where the witches say "Upon the heath/ There to meet with Macbeth."

From this we know that Macbeth is on a heath. It's not much information but it is the first we get.

Macbeth does not believe that Malcolm cannot harm himself. He is quite prepared to believe that Malcolm might harm Malcolm, which is what "harm himself" means. Macbeth does believe that Malcolm cannot harm him (i.e. Macbeth) because Malcolm's mother was apparently a woman and the witches said that none of woman born could harm Macbeth.

Macduff refuses to attend Macbeth's coronation.

Macduff refuses to attend Macbeth's coronation

Never. He does say the word "blood" fifteen times, and "bloody" another five. But not "blood on my hands". He does say "There's blood on thy face" to the murderer who kills Banquo. The closest he comes to talking about blood on his hands is "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash the blood clean from my hand."

The dagger. He tries to hold it, but his hand goes right through it ("I have thee not") but it still appears to be there ("I see thee still").

He carries the daggers he has used away from Duncan's room. His wife wants him to return and plant them on the grooms, but Macbeth refuses.

Lady Macbeth criticises Macbeth in order to manipulate him into following through in the act of killing Duncan. We see she has great influence over him in how she easily changes his mind and feeling towards the regicide. In act 1 scene 7 she taunts him with a variety of techniques. She blackmails him by questioning his love to her by comparing it to a drunken promise in saying "Was the hope drunk wherein you dress'd yourself? Hath it slept since? And wakes it now, to look so green and pale at what it did so freely? From this time such i account thy love." She then goes on to call him cowardly by longing for something but then not following through in his actions "Like the poor cat i' the adage". This is reinforced in her telling him that she is braver than him and would respect and keep any promise that she would ever make to him and then mocking his manhood which would have the desired effect of a great insult due to the time in which the play was written because when stripping Macbeth of his manliness she strips him of the qualities that are meant to provide him with power and authority.

Lady Macbeth has gone mad. Like her husband, she cannot find any rest, but she is suffering more clearly from a psychological disorder that causes her, as she sleepwalks, to recall fragments of the events of the murders of Duncan, Banquo, and Lady Macduff.

The murder of the king.
