Act 1 Scene 7

I chose this act because it is where Macbeth leaves the grand banquet he is holding in honour of Duncan. Macbeth needed the time to think about what he was going to do, killing his king. Macbeth didn't want to have to murder Duncan. I chose this act because I liked the way Macbeth tried to stand up to Lady Macbeth because he knew what the right thing was to do in the end. Macbeth wanted the throne but was appalled at the thought of killing his king. He didn't want to kill but Lady Macbeth tried to force him to. Lady Macbeth accuses Macbeth of being a coward and questions his masculinity. She also accused him of being passionate about killing Duncan and that he lost it. A promise is a promise to be valued. By getting the king's chamber guards drunk Macbeth has a perfect ability. This act was the most interesting to me because Macbeth finally thought of what he was doing and questioned it. But then Lady Macbeth steps in and persuades him to do what she thought was better and in the end they would gain more power by killing the king.
