Macbeth's mind is "full of scorpions...."
Macbeth's desire for power is quickly growing. For this I fear for him and his country of Scotland. There are now two innocent souls that have died under the influence of Macbeth as well as the murder of Macduff's son. It is an absolute tragedy in reguards to the brutal murder of Banquo. Hopeful with the escape of his son Fleance, the prophesy of the witches can be fulfilled and Macbeth will fall as king. I hope Macbeth's conscious eats away at him like worms in the grounds especially after seeing Banquo's ghost. I also feel that it is now to late to sympathizes with Macbeth because his desires for power and control have taken over his true character. As for Lady Macbeth, she is a biased and foolish woman who has instigated the fate of her own husband and it is now to late to help him. Of course, her feelings change as being an instigator she FINALLY gains a conscience. I feel absolutely NO pity for her! As for the witches, although they are manipulative within the fate of Macbeth, they do try to give warning to to him through apparitions. Although I do not beileve in what the witches have to say, it is in the best interest of Macbeth to listen closely to what they say. However, I fear that Macbeth's pride and ego have taken over him and he will not consider what the witches are truly saying.

I do not think Macbeth's plan is going as he planned. The killing of Banquo was something that I do not think he had in mind from the beginning. This goes to show that once you have killed one person succesfully, you begin to feel invinsible. Banquo was a good friend to Macbeth and this is how he gets treated? I think the witches, Lady Macbeth, and Macbeth's desire to be king all have influenced the decisions he has been making. I think Macebeth should stay away from those witches and everything they have to say. They are up to no good, Macbeth should realize this.
