In this scene, it starts off with Banquo and Fleance walking into a torch lit hall in Macbeth's castle. Macbeth enters after Banquo and Fleance had their conversation where Banquo was surprised that he was still awake after midnight. Banquo mentioned that the king is currently asleep and that he had a dream of the 3 weird sisters where he suggested that the witches had some truth to their words to Macbeth. He replied that he had given no thought about it and that they would discuss it at a later time. Banquo and Fleance leave and suddenly Macbeth had a vision of a dagger floating in the air before him where the handle pointed towards him and the blade pointed towards the King. He had thoughts that had frightened him on the killing he's about to do. He gathered his resolve to get ready to kill the King and when the bell was rung by Lady Macbeth, he would go.
Questions:
Why did Macbeth felt uneasy when he had thoughts about murdering King Duncan? He surely had killed many people during the many battles he had faced.
Why did Macbeth change his mind so quickly after he had decided not to kill the king?
I predict that there's going to be chaos once everyone had find out that the King is dead. They will have to find out who murdered him during the night. The first people that will be suspicious will most likely be the guards that were guarding the entrance. They will also be executed regardless as they failed to protect there king.
My reactions to this scene was with the death of the king. It went by so quickly which surprised me. There was only like a few lines that would somewhat describe the moment of death that will fell upon King Duncan.
