1. He visits the Witches for a second time. Why? How does he react?
Macbeth visited the witches for the second time because he fears he might lose his position as king.
(when he goes to them he is scared and demanding answers because he is anxious about someone taking his title as king.)
2. Has he completely lost it in the Banquet scene? (do you think the Ghost is real or imaginary?) yes he has because he is so scared of getting caught that he started seeing things. Like in the banquet seen when he saw Banquo sitting in the empty seat. (i think the ghost was in Macbeth's head and it wasn't really there.)
3. Why is he obsessed with killing Banquo? (oh yeah, and Fleance too) because banquo was suspicious of macbeth's plan and had a feeling that macbeth killed killed king duncan.(and he wanted to kill fleance because the witches said that banquo's son will be king and that was a threat to macbeth's power.(and also fleance saw the murderers kill banquo).
4. Which factor is most influential: (a) Witches & their prophesy? (b) Vaulting ambition? (c) Lady Macbeth? i think macbeth was influenced the most by lady macbeth because macbeth said he wasn't going to go through with their plan to kill king duncan then lady macbeth said she would kill kill a baby to gain power.
5.How does he justify his decision to proceed down the path of evil? he said it was like a vaulting ambition that he couldn't stop

Kia ora Gary,
ReplyDeleteI work as a facilitator in some secondary schools in Gisborne.
I remember studying Macbeth when I was at school, a loooong time ago.
I like the way you have included your opinion in your answers and backed it up with examples. I wonder if Macbeth can be a story to remind us what path is best to take. I see words and phrases like 'fear', 'scared', 'ambition he couldn't stop' that describe Macbeth. Good thing that the reality is we do always have a choice in what we do.
