Act 4 Scene 3
This scene starts with Malcom and Macduff talking about how the country has changed and how they have noticed some changes in Macbeth.
Act 4 Scene 1
The scene starts with the three witches making a spell in a Cauldron. They chant and say the ingredients that they put in until Hectate comes in the scene with three other witches. Hectate congratulates them for the cauldron sing and leaves with the three other witches. Then Macbeth enters and is told his fate. The three apparitions tell him to watch out for Macduff and Malcom that fled to England; also the spirit of Banquo will haunt him until he dies. “Macbeth,Macbeth,Macbeth: beware of Macduff” Then Lennox suddenly appears and Macbeth asks him if he saw the three weird sisters but says no. After Lennox says that Macduff and Malcom fled to England.
How does Act 3 Scene 5 change the play ?
Act 3 Scene 5 changes the play because Hectate, the three witches were not meant to get involved with Macbeth’s destiny. The goddess is crossed at the three witches” How did you dare To trade and traffic with Macbeth In riddles and affairs of death” This quote shows that the queen is very angry because they were not meant to interfere with Macbeth’s fate as maybe she was planning to do something with him later. Hectate rhymes a lot when he talks to the first witch; this is because the witches like to rhyme a lot when they do spells and chant. This is why I think Hectate chants out Macbeth’s fate to the witch. Macbeth has changed throughout the three scenes because he has become more merciless and untrustworthy.
How does Shakespeare show Macbeth’s guilt in Act 3 Scene 4?
Shakespeare shows Macbeth’s guilt when Macbeth is talking to Lady Macbeth about his guilt; Macbeth says that he is guilty also he is gone too far and he is out of control with the situation. Furthermore he is unable to go back to the man that he was before, he will have to carry on killing people because now it is too late. If he was to go back to the man that he was before people would get suspicious and try to kill him.

Literary Essay Badge
In the text Macbeth Shakespeare shows what happens to someone when they take advantage of the people that trust you. However the implicit meaning of the play is what happens to you when you treason against the King, Shakespeare had written this play a year later after Guy Fawkes had tried to blow up Houses of Parliament and the King. In this essay I will be exploring the history, the meaning of the play and the language in futher detail.
The history of this play was written to warn people waht happens to you when you treason against the King. The story behind this play starts in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his Catholic group plot to blow up Houses of Parliament. They rented a basement underneath Houses of Parliament where they stored gunpowder to ‘blow’ up Houses of Parliament
Act 2 Scene 3
The scene starts with some rally loud knocking that wakes up the Porter of the castle angrily. After the death of King Duncan Shakespeare was to inflict some comedy for the play to not be dark. The Porter talks about lerchy, which means the excessive indulgence of sexual desire, to inflict some comedy to the play to cheer up the audience as a very spine-chilling death has just happened. As the Porter had waken up angrily he starts to call who ever is behind the door devil names for example Beelzebub, this shows that the Porter does not like to work in the castle because he barely gets any sleep so that shows that he likes to get all the sleep he can get even if it is just a bit. Macbeth enters the scene trying to act as normal as he can. After Macduff had asked if the knocking had woken up the King,he goes and checks on the King and come back terrified as he had just found the bloody body of Duncan. Macbeth acts normal and externally tries to show that he is sorry so that people will not suspect anything” Had I died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time” Macbeth says this in the external way that means that he wished he had died an hour before he ‘found out’ the death of Duncan as he did not want to experience this. Also Macbeth means this implicitly because he feels guilty of the death of Duncan, he wishes he had died an hour before he murdered him. At the end of the scene Macbeth tells everyone how he had’ killed’ the guards because of his fury; furthermore after Macbeth leaves Malcom and Donaldbain discuss where they will flee.
Questions
Is Lady Macbeth only with Macbeth for interest as he is the Thane of Glamis?
Act 2 Scene 2
The scene starts with Lady Macbeth entering the chamber, she had just drugged the guards and feels extremely powerful. Consequently, Macbeth entres with two bloody daggers as he has just killed Duncan.” I will go no more, I am afraid to think what I have done” This shows that Macbeth feels guilty because Lady Macbeth had told him to clean up the crime scene but Macbeth feels really guilty, this shows that Macbeth feels guilty as he has already killed Duncan he can not stand seeing him anymore. In my opinion I think it’s because he was kind of forced to by Macbeth by saying that he is not the man that he should be.
