Macbeth Act 2 through Scene
In Act 2 Scene 1, around the time the guards start feeling awfully tired for some odd reason, Macbeth has a conversation with Banquo. Banquo in a way praises Macbeth for his adequate hosting. In this conversation, Macbeth says something that caught my eye. "Being unprepared, our will became the servant to defect, which else should free have wrought." He basically points the fact out that he was unprepared for the Kings visit because the King invited himself over. And it dawned on me: the King walked into his own death. Yes, the King was impressed with Macbeth and that's why he invited himself over, but he still invited himself. Banquo is onto Macbeth, and even had a dream about the witches predictions and the ones that became true. Then Macbeth goes full Hamlet and imagines a bloody dagger in his hand and brushes it off. In the second scene, Lady Macbeth basically lives up to her malicious and twisted stereotype. She said the fact that the guards are getting tired makes a fire light up in her. That's all that was. Then Macbeth "does the deed" and feels sorry in which his wife corrects him and tells him it's a stupid thing to say. One of the servants actually cried murder in his sleep, and the other laughed in his sleep-which I think is a very eerie thing to happen, a servant laughs whilst his King is being murdered a room away. That's definitely going to stick. Lady Macbeth calls Macbeth a coward for being so sorrowful and weary. He's letting it get to him.
