Macbeth Notes

Scene 2
Lady Macbeth doesn't want Macbeth to feel sorry or anything weak.
• Macbeth is starting to feel guilty. The audience has a strong notion on the nature of good and bad.
• Glamis is the last title Macbeth earned rightly.
• Forgot to leave the dagger in the drunk guards hands.
• Lady Macbeth didn't want to kill the king because he reminds her of her father, but she encourages Macbeth too.
• Lady Macbeth says Macbeth is not constant, but riding the waves of adrenalin. 
• Shakespeare uses the knocking as a distraction, or sense of guilt. Inescapable reality.
• The Gorgon is like looking at Medusa, it is paralyzing.
• Now that Duncan is dead, everything is going crazy. The birds are prey, the horses are eating each other. Everything in nature is being disrupted.
Act 3
• Malcom and Donalbin left to find safety and figure things out.
• Don't know why Duncan's sons don't take his place as king.
• Murder happened at night, in the morning everything was discovered.
• References Brutus and Caesar.
