2. Introduction to Macbeth.
The first act set everything in motion.
The three witches or (weird sisters)
are introduced. The witches stated,
these very important lines. “ All hail
Macbeth ! Hail to thee, Thane of
Glamis. All hail Macbeth ! Hail to thee,
Thane of Cawdor. All hail Macbeth !
That shalt be king hereafter ! “
(Shakespeare Pg 17) That simple yet
deadly quote, set the future of the
book. The third witch, said one last
very important quote to Banquo. That
quote was “ Thou shalt get king,
though thou be none ! “
( Shakespeare Pg 19). Banquo is
Macbeth's good friend, who always
stands by his side.

3. The evil plan ...
● Macbeth continues to think about
what the witches have said. He
decides to write it down. Lady
Macbeth, is Macbeth's power hungry
wife. Macbeth says nothing to his wife
about his experience with the witches.
His wife learns about the prediction,
that her husband will be the Thane of
Cawdor. Lady Macbeth, decides to
take destiny into her own hands and
kill the reigning Thane of Cawdor.
Lady Macbeth talks her husband into
KILLING, the Thane of Cawdor. She
assures him everything will be okay
with this line. “ But screw your
courage to it's sticking place and we
will not fail” (Shakespeare Pg 43).

4. Thane of Cawdor : Duncan
● Duncan, is currently the Thane of
Cawdor. He has been invited to the
Macbeth's home. Little does he know,
it's the last time he will be seen alive.
Duncan has two children, one is
named Malcolm and the other is
Donalbain.
● The plan has been set in place,
Duncan is in Macbeth's home asleep.
Lady Macbeth, waits for Macbeth's
move in murdering Duncan. Macbeth
has a moment to ponder the dagger,
that he will use and exactly will he
do ...

5. It was done !
● Macbeth, has done it. He stabbed
Duncan to death, while he lay
sleeping in his bed. Astonished
Macbeth forgot the plan and took the
evidence (the dagger) with him.
Macbeth was very slow and
unresponsive to his wife. Angry Lady
Macbeth, took the dagger back in the
room and covered Duncan's gaurds
with his blood.
● Duncan's murdered body was found
by Macduff. He stated this line, “ o
horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor
heart cannot conceive thee or name
thee!( Shakespere Pg 65). Macbeth
insisted, that the guards killed
Duncan. Macbeths good friend
Banquo, does not believe this story.
Malcolm and his sibling Donalbain
flee the country

6. The lie about Duncan's death
● Macbeth, decides to take the glory
and say that HE killed Duncan's
guards out of anger. This shows him
to be a hero and thus as planned, he
becomes Thane of Cawdor.
● Not everything went the way he
planned. Macbeth and his good friend
Banquo's relationship is strained.
Now, Macbeth's greed and power has
gotten to his head. He wants ensure,
that he will always be on top. He does
not want absolutely anyone, to get in
his way. Macbeth invites Banquo to a
fancy dinner that Banquo agrees he
will attend, after he finishes horse
riding. Macbeth does something
drastic.. again..

7. Banquo's, a dead man as well
● Remember the quote about Banquo's
sons being thanes?. Well, our dear
friend Macbeth remembers that quote
too. He is deeply afraid that his friend
Banquo's children, will reign above
him. He decides to brainwash, three
people into killing Banquo and his son
Fleance. Macbeth sends out the men
to kill them, while they are riding their
horses. As Banquo dies ,he yells out “
O treachery ! Fly good Fleance.
fly,fly,fly ! Thou mayst revenge - O
slave ! (Shakespeare 101). The
assains have failed, Banquo is dead
but Fleance is still alive. The news
returns back to Macbeth and
something even crazier happens.

8. Dinner table hell
● The news of Banquo's death, should
bring happiness right ? Unfortunately
it did not. The murderers inform
Macbeth that Banquo is dead. By
stating “ Safe in a ditch he bides, with
twenty trenched gashes on his head,
The least a death to nature”
(Shakespeare Pg 101). Macbeth at
this point seems to be going insane.
Even though he knows that Banquo is
dead, at the fancy dinner table he
SEES Banquo. No one is aware of his
death yet. Macbeth seems to see
Banquo's “ghost'. He makes a
complete fool of himself at the table,
stating a bunch of nonsense. This
confuses his guests, so his angry wife
boots them all out.

9. What's next to come?
● At the end of act three, Macduff and a
secret lord plan to take down
Macbeth. Macduff does not believe
that Malcolm and Donalbain have
killed their father. They want and need
to stop his crazy reign. I agree and
belive this needs to stop. Macbeth is
acting like an absolute mad man.
Macbeth can't simply murder
everyone that gets in his way,
especially a young boy. I cant wait to
see whats in store next act..
