Macbeth

Although the people of that era believed in witches, the witches in Macbeth were very probably not portrayed as frightening. The very silly scenes involving songs and the headwitch Hecate (which were likely not written by Shakespeare, but were written also in the Jacobean Era) make the witches sillier than the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream, and although these scenes are never played nowadays, there is every reason to think that this was actually how the witches were played at first. This may have been the only way to get them onstage in a time when people would have been genuinely frightened of representations of real witches.

Not usually; such an action is not required of him, although a director might well have him examining a skull if he wanted to. This situation is quite different from Hamlet, who is often portrayed as holding a skull because he is required by the script to hold and examine the skull of the jester Yorick while delivering the famous lines "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio." Vindice in Thomas Middleton's play The Revenger's Tragedy is also required by the script to hold the skull of his murdered girlfriend.

She takes both the daggers back into the chambers where Duncan was supposed to be sleeping
she takes the daggers and places them by the guards. In order to make it look as if it were the guards who killed the king instead of her husband.

she is the assistant of lady macbeth(macbeth's wife)

his wife.

who didn't go to banquet which makes Macbeth woory about a plan againts him.

The second apparitions said it to Macbeth.

Macbeth is saying that he has done one part of the job but it is still not safe and that the snake can still bite, meaning that it can still be a hindrance, so he describes the situation as incomplete.

Perhaps the title "King of Scotland" which they both held may give you a clue.

By this point in the play, Macbeth is pretty much insane. While his monologue (life is but a walking shadow) is definitely up to interpretation by the individual/performer, my personal interpretation is that this is when Macbeth realizes that he has done terrible things, he will not get anything out of it, and that he will die. "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing." My opinion of this is that Macbeth is saying he has done so many terrible things, and that there was no purpose (signifying nothing). So while he starts talking about his wife's death, he only lingers on it momentarily as it is the catalyst for this entire realization.

The play macbeth is a tragedybut contains slight elements of satire. macbeth is exposed as wanting to be installed a king. the question is how insatiable can man be at a certain time of his life. can man be satisfied with what he is for once. macbeth is never satisfied. shakespeare maybe satirizing such attitude in him without the knowledge of some critic who would narrow their perception of the play to being just a tragedy.

you really should read the play, Macbeth becomes king

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.

Two men reigned as kings of Scotland in 'Macbeth'. With the play's end, a third was going to reign once he was crowned. The Shakespearean play began with the reign of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. But throughout most of the play, the King was Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The play ended with the killing and beheading of Macbeth by Macduff, and the preparations of the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] to be crowned at Scone. But the play's end wasn't backed up by the historical record. According to history, Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson, King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058]. Lady Macbeth's [b. c. 1015] son from her first marriage to Gille Coemgain [d. 1032] was succeeded by King Malcolm III, who was King Duncan I's elder son and the murderer of his two immediate royal predecessors.

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.

Lady Macbeth planned to blame the murder on the grooms of Duncan's chamber. This frame-up was successful, at least at first.

Banquo's heirs are prophesied to become kings. Macbeth tries to frustrate this by having Banquo and his child killed, but he fails because Fleance lives on to become the father of a line of kings

Not very honest. She is living up to her own advice: "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it".

It's easier to ambush someone in the dark.

England.

He realizes that the murder is not a good idea and decides not to proceed with it.

He told her about the three prophecies that he has been told by the witches. Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis, and King of Scotland.

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.
