Act IV of Shakespeare The Tragedy of Macbeth

Act four start's with the three withches. They feel as if something is about to happen so they start chatting spells and stuff to call on their God Hecate. He lets them know that Mcbeth is on his way to see them. What the Sprit or God tells them is true Macbeth shows up and wants to know his future! Hecate say's " Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff! Beware the Thane of Fife. Dimiss me: enough. At this point Macbeth thinks that everything is turing for the good but little do he know, and then Hecate say's " Be bloddy, bold and resolute! Laugh to scorn The pow'r of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth." When the spirit tells him this he act as if he's sitting on a high horse and can't get knocked down. So on and on the spirit say's alot of things to him and it makes him feel untouchable! Then he still gets told the part about how there would be kings after him no matter what. He even says it to his self. " Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo. Down! Thy crown does sear mine eyelida. And thy hair, Thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first. A third is like the former. Filthy hags! why do you show me this? A fourth! Sart, eyes! what, will the line strecth out to th' crack of doom? Another yet! A seventh! I'll see no more. And yet the eight appears, who bears a glass which shows me many more. etc" Then he say's "Horrible sight! Now I see' tis true; For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon me, And points at them for his. What, is this so?". By this time Macbeth is like but you just told me that i will be alright. The only thing that witches had to say is First Witch " Ay, sir , all this is so. But why Stands Macbeth thus amazedly? Come, sisters, cheer we up his sprites, And show the best of our delights: I'll charm the air to give a sound , while you perform your antic round, That this great king may kindly say Our duties did his welcome pay". His welcome payed alright. This sent Macbeth on another dummy mission, he decided to be stupid again by saying to his self again " The castle of Macduff I will surprise Seize upon Fife; give to th' sword His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls That deed I'll do before this purpose cool: But no more sights!- Where are these gentlemen? Come, bring me where they are." O my i was like he's went mad, naw he just got the big head thinking that if kills off Macduffs family everything will be all good for him. Now i'm on lady Macduff she thinks her husband is a coward because he ran off, only if she knew. She tells her child " Sirrah, your fathers dead: And what will you do now? How will you live?" She's talking to her son and telling him that his father is dead, but he really isn't. In the scene with lady Macduff and her son; lady Macduff makes a good point she say's "Every one that does so is a traitor, and must be hanged." Then the son says "Then the liars and swearers are fools; for there are liars and swearers enow to beat the honest men and hang up them." Lady Macduff really hit some good points in her scene. Like how the people that do good always get treated bad. In this play that is sooo true! So what Macbeth has done , is decided to contact the Murderer again to do his dirty deed the Murderer kills Macduffs family so the deed was done! Ross tells Macduff that " your wife and babes savagely slaughtered" and he adds and say"To add the death of you". Macduff is angry about this. I mean who wouldnt be??? Malcolm comes out and say to Ross and Macduff " Be comfororted. Let's make us med' cines of our great revenge, To cure this deadly grief. With out a doubt no one has a problem with going to get revenge on Macbeth; so Malcolm say's " This time goes manly. Come, go we to the king. Our power is ready Our lack is nothing but our leave. Macbeth is ripe for shaking , and the pow'rs above Put on their instruments. Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day". When Malcolm said this I alredy knew that they wanted revenge on Macbeth, and wasn't nothing stoping them!
