Act III of Shakespeare The Tragedy of Macbeth


Act III is where Macbeth really go dumb with all the crap he's putting his self into. He's really king, having dinners and all, but before this dinner him and his friend Banquo chat a little. Macbeths head is so cloudy that while Banqou is thinking that he's having a friendly conversation with a friend, little do he know that he's only digging his own grave, sad, sad! But he let's Macbeth know that he's going to be riding threw the woods before he comes to the dinner party ( where Macbeth act's like a Donkey ha-ha), because of Banquo. Before i get into that Macbeth uses the fact that he knows Banquo is going to be in the woods to make up a murder plan and he decides to hire some murderers. The murderers really have no reason to do this to this man (Banquo). I guess Macbeths wife came out of him because he tried to put negative things in their heads. Macbeth say's to the two murderers "know Banquo was your enemy." By Macbeth or should i say king Macbeth ?ha-ha, trying to act like his wife they still agree to do this evil deed.
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" The reason I repeated this is because that's the foundation of this whole play. If i didn't have that qoute in my mind i wouldn't understand this play at all , so i always remember this because it helps me understand alot. So they are having this dinner party and Macbeth ansd his wife are acting and being fake as they can. It's so easy for Lady Macbeth to act this way but Macbeth fades out a little here and there. The two murderers find Banquo in the woods but he's not alone; he has his son Fleance with him. They end up killing him nomatter what but Banquo tells his son Fleance to find out who did this to him , and then Fleance run's off. They did Banquo dirty this is what the Murderer said he did " Ay, my good lord: safe in a ditch he bides, With twenty trenched gashes on his head, The least a death to nature." This part had my mind gone I was like what he went to work on Banquo, so sad!
Ok as you can see that Macbeth has the big head but Banquo ghost is going to mess with his head ha-ha, i thought that was so funny but it scared me a little. He start's talking out of his head, and his stupid wife tries to cover it up like he doses this all the time. All of this is going on while their at the dinner, and their guest are just as blind as them they think ; that Macbeth and his wife are still hurt by the fact that the king is dead ( yeah right). So ealier before this started happening Macbeth tried to act like he didn't know Banquo wasn't going to to show up and he start's talking crap about him. So Banquo ghost shows up and Macbeth goes off the wall, he starts making himself look like a fool because he was the only one in the room that could see him. Someone at the table named Ross told the king to let it go that Bnaquo wasn't there and Macbeth say's " the table is full". He say's this because he see's Banquo's ghost. Lennox say's " here is a place reserved, sir." Macbeth say's "where?" ha-ha. I was like Macbeth is on that root that they used back then because i bet everyone is like what in the world is wrong with him??? Then Lennox say's " Here, my good lord. What is't that moves your highness?". He's asking what's wrong with him. If i was there i would have been like are you on somes roots or something? What Macbeth is seeing is that Banquo is sitting at his chair at the table and this rueins the dinner. Of course Lady Macbeth doggs him out like always for actting like he have losted his mind. Then he starts worrying about why Macduff didn't show. I think Macduff didn't show because he knows whats really going on , and want's no part of it! But him not showing up is making it worse for him in a way. Macbeth is feeling like everything is going wrong or to fast and so he want's to see the weird sisters again, but they may just feed him lies this time because he's acting; as if only his part of the furtune is going to become true. I really think that , that is a negative.
