We have just met King Duncan who is the current ruler of Scotland. King Duncan is like a father figure who is kind and generous but is also strong and firm. He has 3 sons, Malcolm, Donalbain, and Lennox. Duncan seems to be a man who is smart and has quick wits and thus deserves to be king. He can make the big decision's as king and does things the right way be wanting to take prisoners and putting them trial which is the opposite of what Macbeth does but, he so also trusting which makes it easy for Macbeth to take advantage of him. It is obvious that him and Macbeth have very different views on things and I can already tell that Macbeth will kill him at some point in order to become king. King Duncan is like that one friends dad who is really nice and generous to you but you can deceive him easily because he is so trusting of people.

This makes me believe that Macduff is a good man for teaching his son well. Macbeth sent murderers to kill them both in their home while they were on the look for Macduff, this shows us that now Macbeth willing to anyone to protect himself.

Act 5, scene 1 In this scene we see that Lady Macbeth isn't doing well. Her gentlewoman states that Lady Macbeth has been sleep walking since Macbeth has gone to prepare for the war. Here we start to see Lady Macbeth in a different light. I once saw her character as strong and independent but now I see that she needs her husband to help cope with all the guilt she has inside. Lady Macbeth began sleepwalking and she walked into a room where her gentlewoman and her doctor where. She began saying all of the things she and her husband have done, by her doing this I can foreshadow that possibly her and Macbeth will have to confess to everything they have done.

Act 4, Scene 1 In this new act we see the witches once again. This time they are planning to preform a spell on Macbeth. This time they wanted to scare him by showing him images of the things that are coming his way. The witches showed him disturbing apparitions, which shows the reader how much more powerful they are with their leader. Macbeth was so desperate to see his future that it made me understand that he would do just about anything for it. We come to see that Macbeth's future is filled with despair which made me feel like he will finally get what he deserves soon.
