Comments/notes |
Reaction to the play
I am curious whether Lennox will start to tell people about his suspicion towards Macbeth. I am also curious why did Shakespeare introduced Hecate into the play? I wonder what will Hecate do next? Character description Macbeth has become a monster killer. Hecate is angry about what the witches told Macbeth. Lennox and the Lord are curious whether Macbeth killed Duncan and Banquo. Questions What will happen to Macbeth, since Hecate decided to fool Macbeth? What will happen to Lady Macbeth if her husband dies? Is there any way to stop Macbeth from killing innocent people? Will Macbeth find Fleance one day? Predictions I think that Macbeth will die later since Hecate is angry and she said that there will be consequences afterwards. I think that Hecate will teach Macbeth a lesson or stop him from killing people or disturbing the nature. Notes
