Act III Part II

This Act has many references of strangeness and death. When Macbeth comes to eat at his own party there is something wrong, there is no place for him to sit. He banters back and forth until he finally realizes that the person in his seat is Banquo's ghost. He freaks out yelling at it while no one else can see the ghost at all. Even more weird than that is the fact that his wife tells everyone that he does this from time to time and that by paying attention to it the guests would actually prolong it. This shows how people with blindly follow the idea of the king even when it is ridiculous. Then we hear about the treason; Macduff planning to betray Macbeth. Even more weird than that on this scale is that while it is considered treason many people are tying to join in and go along with it. It shows that people can change quickly as Macbeth went from nice to evil and how people went from supporting to opposing.
