He wants to ensure his spot as king, to make sure no one close to him can take away his power, and this starts with the murder of Banquo. He hires two murderers and tells them, "Who wear our health but sickly in his life, Which in his death were perfect." III.I.114-115. But Macbeth won't stop with just Banquo, he tells the murderers to kill his son as well, and the list will only grow from there.]]> 2017-05-10 14:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171016901 dbagley https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171016949 Macbeth plans out the murder in detail to make sure that it is done right and his power is secured as king. He tells the three murderers where the victims will be and at what hour to kill them, "Fleance his son, that keeps him company...must embrace the fate of that dark hour." III.I.148-151. Macbeth won't stop with just Banquo, he wants his whole bloodline to be stopped as well. Macbeth also justifies why his involvement in the murder must be kept a secret, "For certain friends that are both his and mine, Whose loves I may not drop" III.I.132-133. Even though he plans on killing Baquo, he won't risk anyone finding out and possible losing powerful allies.]]> 2017-05-10 14:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171016949 dbagley https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171016983 These murders have forced Macbeth to become a marvelous actor, who can celebrate the death of the people closest to him on the inside, while shedding fake tears for those whom he "loves" on the outside. He makes a big deal of Banquo's absence, stating, "And to our dear friend Banquo, whom we miss; Would he were here! to all, and him we thirst," III.IV.105-106. Macbeth is toasting to the person he is responsible for murdering in front of a hall full of people, depicting his cold heartedness and lack of mercy. Although Macbeth may be willing to crush anyone that comes near him, the ghost of the man he murdered in cold blood, Duncan, still haunts him. His guilt eats him up inside, and this is evident at the dinner when he speaks to the ghost, "Thou canst not say I did it: never shake Thy gory locks at me" III.IV.60-61. The death of Banquo may come back to haunt him, just as the ghost of King Duncan has.]]> 2017-05-10 14:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171016983 dbagley https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171017044 The taste of power Macbeth experiences as king will only fuel his ambition for more of it. Despite the ghost's haunting him, with Lady Macbeth at his side and his greed eating away at his soul, Macbeth will seek to squash anyone who is close enough to threaten his power as king. He states, "We are yet but young in deed." III.IV.170. With him and Lady Macbeth working together to remain in power, the amount of deaths piling up under their names will keep increasing until no soap will be able to wash the stain of blood off their hands.]]> 2017-05-10 14:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dbagley/umstou6ye1de/wish/171017044
