Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have a plan that when Duncan falls asleep Lady Macbeth will ring a bell. Macbeth is thinking about what is about to happen and is thinking if he is really going to do this murder and sees the dagger but, it’s really not there but he has murder on his mind so he is thinking about it. Evil is coming for he is having to do this and he is asking for the courage to do it and for no one to see or hear him and that no one will awake. Hidden meanings- Banquo asks for his sword but Banquo might have to use his sword later on Mabeth because he is turning bad.

Scene 2 Amber Roletto *Summary -The scene starts off with the guards being drunk and Lady Macbeth is alone when she hears Macbeth yell out. When Macbeth returns to her after killing the king, he has the daggers in his hand and Lady Macbeth is blaming him for screwing up the plan. Macbeth is totally freaking out and Lady Macbeth decides to finish what was started. She takes the daggers from him and heads back up to put the daggers with the guards, while Macbeth is still freaking out down stairs. At the end of the scene there is a knocking at the door, but Macbeth being in the state he's in is thinking it's all in his head while gazing down at his hands that are still stained with the blood of the king. *Hidden Meanings: -After Macbeth has killed the king he explains to Lady Macbeth that he couldn’t give his blessing to the guards when he was killing them. This would be a double-entendre because he feels bad about it but the audience knows that really, he is an evil person.

Scene 2 continued... Amber Roletto *Important Lines: “My hands are of your colour; but I shame to wear a heart so white.” - Lady Macbeth This is an important passage because it shows Lady Macbeth's true selfishness and cruelty. “To know my deed, 'twere best not know myself” And “Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas in incarnadine, making the green one red.” - Macbeth The reason these lines are important are because they show that Macbeth kind of regretted killing the king..they may show that Macbeth does have a kind side?

Scene 3 Summary The scene opens with a drunk porter making low humor jokes to Macduff. Then Macduff, Macbeth and Lennox are talking about the king. Macduff and Lennox don’t know that the king is dead. Macbeth obviously does, but acts like he doesn’t know. Macduff goes to wake the king. Lennox discusses with Macbeth that the night had been unruly. Macduff discovers the king is dead. They ring the bell and Lady Macbeth enters angrily because they woke her. Macduff tells Lady Macbeth that the king has been murdered. Macbeth starts feeling remorse for what he has done. The kings sons enter and find out the king is dead. Lennox tells them the guards were the murderers. Then Macbeth says that he killed the guards out of loyalty for the king because they had killed the king. Lady Macbeth faints because she knows her husband is making a HUGE mistake. Banquo decides they should all go collect themselves from the shock and discuss the murder later. Malcolm and donalbain (the kings sons) decide to separate to avoid suspision of the murder (because they are the heirs) and to keep them both safer. Chelsea

Hidden Meanings… Macduff – “I believe drink gave thee the lie last night” 1. Sexual aspect (getting laid) 2. the actual lie being told. Macduff – “Is the king stirring worthy thane?”, Macbeth “Not yet” The audience knows that macbeth killed the king and he is acting innocent, also the king will never wake so this is ironic. Lennox tells Macbeth that the night was rough before he even knew the king was dead. Him saying this shows the significance of the death Macduff to Lady Macbeth “Oh gentle lady…” Lady Macbeth is far from gentle, she is the one who planned the murder. Chelsea

Important lines Macbeth “O, yet I do repent me of my fury…” He admits that he knew the king was dead, but he just said that he thought the king was sleeping. Macbeth “Had I but died…” Macbeth is starting to show remorse for killing the king. He is regretting his actions Chelsea

Scene 4 Summary Robert Laforett So basically the old men and Ross are talking and Ross said he's never seen something so horrible and the old men said he's old so he's seen a lot of bad things but nothing this bad. Then the rest of the scene is talking about how Malcome and Donalbain are like the main suspects because they left just right after the muder so that it made seem like it was them. Macduff said that Macbeth is going to be crowned king. Double- entendres- the audience would react to the animals backing up and that means that something bad is happening.
