Act I of Macbeth

In the first Act of Macbeth, we read that there were three witches that predicted the future for Macbeth and Banquo. (Macbeth is a great war hero and Banquo is essentially, Macbeth’s right hand man) They predicted that Macbeth would be Thane of Cawdor and soon would be King. They also predicted that Banquo would not be king but his children might be and he would be famous, just not as famous as Macbeth. The plot gets weirder when the Thane of Cawdor dies in battle and Macbeth is appointed Thane of Cawdor. Since this event happened, Macbeth tries to think how he could possibly become King. He gets the idea of killing him and his wife, Lady Macbeth, told him not to worry and that she would take care of it. As far as I’m concerned, Lady Macbeth is pure evil. She reminds me of a female satin. She demises a scheme to kill the King with the swords of his guards, who would be passed out due to excessive alcohol, provided by Lady Macbeth. There isn’t much I did not like about this act because everything was pretty exciting. Even though it is in Shakespearean terminology, it is somewhat captivating. I think I can relate to Macbeth in a way because I too, do not think I would have the courage to kill the King. What surprised me the most was how devious Lady Macbeth was. The book so far is straightforward but it does hint some foreshadowing. I think Lady Macbeth will go into greater pursuit to kill the King and will try to persuade Macbeth to kill him. The three witches will make more predictions and overall, Macbeth will slowly become mental due to these predictions.
