Act 3 Scene 4 The Banquet Scene The banquet Essay

The banquet, Macbeth is preparing, highly important to him. It is a put on the line to show the thanes he is strong and in control, he is very exposed of being king. Macbeth needs the banquet to be a success, to show wrap up to the thanes, simply when it goes horribly wrong, Macbeth fears that his reputation has.In this scene, Macbeths reactions and behaviour are very varied. At first, when the thanes arrive, he is the merry host and welcomes everybody with open arms. However, when they mount to eat, his role changes from host to receiver and thus as a dupe to Banquos shadowiness. His behaviour diverges as he moves from his host role to his cold-hearted murderer role and lastly to his chaotic, mad victim role, when he sees Banquos ghost. Macbeths changes in behaviour bring into beings tension, especially during the time where Banquos ghost arrives, as you wonder, if hell let slip any of the murders.Macbeths behaviour patently differs, as at one point he is a calm-well-manne red host,Our egotism get out mingle with society and play the humbleHost, then he transformed into an evil bloody-thirsty villain,Yet hes in force(p) that did the like for FleanceIf thou didst it, thou art the nonpareil, and afterwards to a person, clearly unwell, as he has the hallucination of Banquos ghost, which concerns the guests,Thou canst not say I did it never shakeThy gory locks at me wench Macbeth tries to protect Macbeth and take control of the party, by diverting attention past and covering his actions with lies,The fit is momentary upon a thoughtHe will again be well.She changes the subject to try and stop him from thinking active the ghost, and also stop the thanes from thinking that Macbeth is guilty of something, as peeress Macbeth is fearful that Macbeth will let something out about the murder,Think of this, good peers, only when as a thing of custom. Tis no other,Only it spoils the pleasure of the time.Lady Macbeth takes control by leading the party and beco ming the hostess finally ending the party and telling the thanes to leave when she realises Macbeth is in danger of loosing control, fend not upon the order of your breathing out,But go at onceBy the end of the scene, we realise that Macbeth, really is strong and determined and how he is going to make this work,I am in bloodSteeped in so far that should I wade no moreIt is clear that Macbeth is in control at this point. He intends to see the witches again for some security, that he will stay king,-to the weird sisters.More shall they speak.The power of control has done for(p) back to Macbeth. When Macbeth says,stepped in so far, he is saying how he has already committing two murders, why stop now. If anyone should get in his way, he wont be afraid to kill them.On stage, I would show Macbeth and the thanes on a long table, and behind Macbeth would be a pillar. This would be so that the murderer is unseen and Macbeth doesnt look as well suspicious. The murder would be obviously visib le to the audience, but not so to the thanes.When Macbeth speaks to the thanes, there will be full lighting, but when the murderer speaks to Macbeth, the thanes suspend and the lights dim on them and a spotlight focuses on Macbeth. Once they reach finished their dialogue, the thanes start celebrating and acquainting again and the lighting comes back up.To present the ghost of Banquo, on stage, the first thing I would do is make-up. It would be pale, to create that he is dead. When Banquos ghost is on stage, the normal lights would be on, but an extra spotlight would make the make-up shine and give that not human effect. His clothing would be what he died in, but more new, uninfected and tidy
