In Act II Scene ii the murder is committed. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are very worried about the murder. Lady Macbeth dances with the king and a little later on the king goes to bed. Lady Macbeth drugs the bodyguards and rings the bell softly to signal to Macbeth that it is time. Macbeth then halluciuates. He sees a dagger in front of him he tries to grab it but it disappears. Then it comes back and it leads him to Duncan’s chamber. Then Macbeth kills Duncan in his sleep. After the murder the couple become really paranoid. They talk in really short sentences (this shows that they are really scared.)
Macbeth: I have done the deed
Didst thou not hear a noise?
Lady Macbeth: I heard a owl scream and the
Crickets cry. Did not you speak?
Macbeth: when?
Lady Macbeth: now.
They also both think that they have blood on their hands. They really washed hard and they think it won’t come off no matter how much they clean it. The relationship is a little abnormal but they are both a bit scared.
In Act III Scene ii Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are still a bit worried about the murder. They are both thinking that Banquo knows that they murdered Duncan. They both decide to put on happy faces for the banquet and get on with their lives. Macbeth is considering a hit man to go and kill Banquo when he leaves but he goes behind her back and doesn’t tell her about the murder. The relationship is now a bit split. Lady Macbeth thinks that Macbeth is in the same position as her but Macbeth is starting to go a bit mad.
In Act III Scene iv Macbeth is informed that Banquo is dead but his son ran away. He is then invited to sit down next to a lord. As he approached the seat he sees the ghost of king Duncan. He losses self control again and rushes to his wife. She asks what was wrong and he says that he saw the ghost of Duncan. She replies and says that he shouldn’t be such a coward. The ghost sits in the throne implying that it will go to his family. So he enters the hall again and sees the ghost and Lady Macbeth says that he is ill and he is going to go to bed.
In Act V Scene i Lady Macbeth has been seen sleep walking for a few nights and a woman calls a doctor to observe the events. When Lady Macbeth is seen she is talking about some spots of blood on her hand and she can’t get them of. She then goes on to talk about the murders she and Macbeth have committed. She says that Banquo is dead and buried and that he can’t come back. The two watching are very shocked and the doctor says that there should be a watch on Lady Macbeth. The murders she has committed have obviously mentally scarred her and the she needs help.
In Act V Scene v Lady Macbeth jumps off of the tower and kills her self. Macbeth sent a servant to go and find out what the screech was. He says it was his wife. Macbeth didn’t seem to care much and he just basically said that she should have died after and that it was a waste of life. He also says “tomorrow, and tomorrow” this is a soliloquy.
