Act 3 Scene 2 - 4

Scene 2:
In starts off somewhere in the castle, where Lady Macbeth is being gloom and ask the servants to bring Macbeth to her.  Macbeth goes to her and tells her that he isn't done securing his spot on the throne.  That there is still leftover business to take care of.  He tells Lady Macbeth that he planned a special surprise for Banquo and Fleance for tonight's banquet.

Scene 3:
It starts off at night, where the murders all meet up at a park outside the castle.  Soon after Banquo and Fleance arrived and got off there horses.  When they light up the torch, the murderers attacked them.  The murderer successfully killed Banquo but Fleance escaped.  The murderers leave with Banquo body and bring the dead body to Macbeth to tell him what has happen.

Scene 4:
The feast begins and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth enters as king and queen, followed by there court.  As Macbeth was walking along, a murderer appears at the doorway, where he speaks to him for a moment.  He learns that Banqou is dead and that Fleance has escaped.  Macbeth was gotten angry with there failure of killing Fleance, his throne would've been secured if he had died.  As Macbeth was returning to his guest, he sees Banquo is a ghostly form where he sits in his chair.  Macbeth was struck with fear when he saw him.  He was talking to the ghost while everyone else could not see the ghost.  Lady Macbeth made excuses for him saying he usually have visions of some sort and tells the guest to ignore him.  She then talks to Macbeth and started questioning manly hood.  The ghost of Banquo disappears and Macbeth continues there feast when all of a sudden the ghost reappears and freaks him out.  Lady Macbeth tells the guest to leave the room and when they left, so did the ghost.  Macbeth decides to go talk to the witches to learn more about the future.  He wants to know who may be plotting against him and his throne and wants a way to secure it.

Reaction:
I didn't really like how Macbeth freaked out when he saw the ghost of Banquo.  He was acting really strange and is denying his part of the murder.  Saying he had nothing to do with it.  That annoyed me so much as it showed me how much of a coward Macbeth is.  Since in the beginning, I heard good things about him just to find out it was pretty much a lie.

Questions:
Will Fleance find out that Macbeth hired the murderers to kill him and his father?
Will Fleance take revenge on Macbeth?
Where did Fleance flee to?
What will Macbeth do to the witches if they don't tell him what will happen in the future?
Will the witches curse Macbeth if he does something terrible?

Predictions:
I predict that Macbeth's throne will be taken much quicker now that he attempted to break the prophecy.  I also predict that Macbeth will become a coward when everything doesn't go the way and try to be for mercy for his life.
