Act II of Shakespeare The Tragedy of Macbeth


This story is sooo wonderful! like in my first post i did say i liked it and it's really getting better. I didn't know that i would be so aracted to this story, but to find out that I am. In Act II things start getting heavy. Macbeth is going crazy half way loosing his mind over non sence! The reason i say this , is because Macbeth is having ilusions bout killling the king already before he even touched the man. This issue had the class like is he drunk also???

In Act II Macbeth is in a daze. "The handle toward my hand? Come let me clutch thee. Ihave thee not, and yet I see thee still Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible" What he is saying here is that he knows that he has nothing in his hands but why does his vision show that there's a knife there??? . I felt the reason he felt this way is because, by the witches tellling him his fate; it can't stop playing over in over in his head and that's why he's living out his future because he can't control his mind. If he had mind control he would be just fine!

Macbeth ends up killing the king. Of cousre he cries about it, his wife shuts him down with it'll be ok. Instead of her having hearth she shuts him down with "A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight". She'e sitting here dogging him out over some crap she should have done, if it was supposed to be so easy for him to just walk away from the crime like he just didn't kill a man. I really think she is so cold hearted, at times.

Macduff is the one who finds the king in the state that he was in (dead). Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plays as if they didnt know nothing about the death; but i'm pretty sure that Macduff felt something strange! The kings sons Malcolm & Donalbain jet because they know what the deal is! meaning by their father being killed everyone would point the finger at them and then murder them. The reasonn this would happen to them is because the town may think that they did it to become king. So they both jet to England & Irland. I thought this part was real sad, so by them leaving, the crown was handed to Macbeth. Banquo wanted to talk to Macbeth about what the weird sisters had said to them. Macbeths head is so gone that he lies to Banquo and say that he dosent think about the stuff anymore witch is so far from the truth. So by Macbeth ignoring a conversation that could have made this situation better is causing him alot of down falls.
