Act I- (all) " Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air."( witches 1,2,3). That part right there set off the whole story!!! what the witches are saying is that everything that seems good is bad, and everything that is bad is good; and through the whole story this little saying that they have chanted up never leaves your mind! So by you having this thought and mind set you know that what always shines isn't a diamond.
The three witches came to Macbeth and told him his future, I mean weird stuff was already happening to him even before he run's into them. So to make it even weird they came out of nowhere saying (1st witch) " All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!" (2nd witch) All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!' (3rd witch)" All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" After all this crap goes down everything start making you double check every next move that Macbeth makes!
Macbeth is bewaldered by this and can't believe what he's heard! He has a friend with him while walking trough the woods; his name is Banquo. Banquo get's his future told to him also. (3rd witch) "Hail", (2nd witch) " Not so happy," yet much happier., (3rd witch) " Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none. So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!", (1st witch) "Banquo and Macbeth, all hail!" . After this both of them are shocked, but it hits Macbeth harder then it get's to Banquo, but to be honest i have to keep my eye on him too!, because i have suspendtion about him!!!
Then Macbeth meets the king. O wow so much stuff falls in Macbeth's way with a simple stupid conversation with the king! Ok since everyone is telling Macbeth that he's going to be King but this conversation with the King just turned him to a greedy mind thinker. What i mean by this is like now he's thinking that he has to kill the Kings son Malcom to get the throne! Now why did he even get the big head on this road to his death??? When Macbeth finds out that the Kings son is going to get the throne when he dies Macbeth says to himself '' The Prince of Cumberlan! That is a step On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at hand; yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." Now by him saying this i know he is thinking about commiting a muder to get where he wants to be. Speaking of where he want's to be his wife Lady Macbeth!!! mannn that lady is a mess I thought she was so inosent ha-ha not! Macbeth sends her a letter telling her of all the good ( well the bad) that has come to him! Next thing you know we're reading about her thinking about what Macbeth only say's to himself. I mean Lady Macbeth is making her self take in negative things, like sprit or demon type things to boost herself up to kill the King when he comes to visit there home! She has everything down packed about the whole situation. Then Macbeth never told her yes or no until his good side comes out, but Lady Macbeth wasn't even trying to hear that! There should have been a fourth witch because she acts like one ha-ha !
Her plan was to make everything look good ('fair is foul,and foul is fair") that saying makes your mind think about everything that goes down in this Act. So when Macbeth wanted to let the killing plan go , Lady Macbeth really showed the evil sprit side she called up! She told him " Screw your courage."!!! what in the world??? he let her make him look like a punk , but at the same time when you want to be in the lime light you'll do anything to get there like Lady Macbeth , who's making a donkey of her self , but Macbeth is going to join the stupid train with the looney!!! she may be some kin to King Henry VIII & Bloody Mary too! they have problems! I feel like i have giving enough information on Act I , i'm really starting to like this play because it's mind catching; because i know it has caught my mind! With all this drama who wouldn't like this?
