Macbeth Act 2, Scene 1

After Poisoning Duncan's guards Lady Macbeth awaits Macbeth's return eagerly from ending kind Duncans reign. Macbeth returns carrying two blood soaked daggers, that were used to murder King Duncan
while he was in a drunken slumber. Lady Macbeth awakes to see Macbeth stumble in the room covered in blood seemingly not his own. Unfortunately for lady Macbeth, She has to go back to the scene of the crime and place the daggers on the guards.


Macbeth Character Sketch:
  • Scottish Nobel ~ works in the ranks of the king
  • Thane of Glamis ~ Is the Thane of Glamis originally
  • Thane of Cawdor ~ Becomes this after old Thane is hung
  • Ambitious ~ When he decides he wants to be king he will do anything to become it.
  • Courageous ~ Great war hero, fighting in King Duncans army
  • Insecure ~ Sees Banquo in the mirror trying to strangle him after Banquo was murdered
  • Indecisive ~Can't make up mind to kill Duncan or not
  • Unpredictable ~  He is caught between his good and bad intentions
If I were to have directed the movie, it would not have gone exactly the planned. For one Macbeth wouldn't be as manly as he seems now, He would be very weak and wimpy until he became the Thane of Cawdor. In the beginning Macbeth would find the witches really attractive until he saw their true colors and that they wanted him dead. Secondly He would not have seen daggers but he would have seen shining spoons that later he would have used to kill King Duncan with. The floating spoons would have been  very confusing for the audience, but it would be very understandable for Macbeth. Duncan he would not be drunk when Macbeth was going to kill him, he would be perfectly awake and ready to have an epic slow motion ninja battle with Macbeth. But then would be killed by tripping over his stuffed bear rug and falling into his very own fire place. Then Macbeth would start to feel the power of his accomplishment's. That very next morning  The gaurds would wake up to the smell of fresh bacon but then realized it was Duncans roasting corpse in the fireplace. That night Malcom and Duncan would have ran way to china to open a sushi bar. This would mean that Macbeth is the next inline for the throne. But Banquo, Macbeths very best friend has his doubts about what happened. That very day Banquo was murdered At Macbeths first dinner as the new king he would see
Banquo in the mirror trying to poke him in the eyes with a hot pepper. This would make all his minions feel that their new king is mad.
