bloody macbeth
Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare in 1606. In Act 2, we see Macbeth assassinate the king, and get shaken from it. Later on in Act 3, Macbeth plans to kill Banquo by murderers to assure his own safety. On the other hand, the three witches appear with Hecate, and plan to show Macbeth some magic that will lead him to his own destruction. Act 3 also reveals Macduff going England for help in freeing Scotland from the tyrant Macbeth. Macbeth is so obsessed by thoughts of the murder that he starts to hallucinate. Once he commits murder he feels guilt, fear and regrets, but lack of safety and his ambitions force him to become a murderer and takes him into the river of blood. Macbeth, who plans to kill his own king, is so obsessed by thoughts of the murder that he starts to hallucinate. In Act 2, we see Macbeth reveal his feeling before assassin the king. He says, "Is this a dagger which I see before me, / The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee!" (2.1.42-43). In other words Macbeth see the dagger that he plans to use in the murder, a dagger which beckons him toward King Duncan's door. Put another way he is seeing something not present.

Once his conscience comes back Macbeth starts to get frightened. While Macbeth imagines that he has heard voices, he continuously carries grooms' daggers. Lady Macbeth tells him that he must take the daggers back, put them with the grooms, and smear the grooms with blood, so it will look like the grooms killed the king. Macbeth is however is frighten of what he has done. He says, "I'll go no more: / I am afraid to think what I have done; / Look on't again I dare not" (2.2.66-68). Macbeth is so shaken by the murders that he brings the daggers with him to Lady Macbeth. In other words, Macbeth says, that he can't go back to put the daggers because he is afraid to look at what his own hand has done to his own king. It reveals Macbeth feels scared and frightened.

After sending the servants to get two men who are waiting outside the palace gate, Macbeth has a soliloquy in which he reveals that, being king is not enough for him. He says, "To be thus is nothing; / But to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo / Stick deep" (3.1.53-54).
