Macbeth and Lady Macbeth Characterisation Task

1. Why is he obsessed with killing Banquo? (oh yeah, and Fleance too) He is obsessed about killing Banquo because the three witches said that Banquo's son will be kings.
2. Has he completely lost it in the Banquet scene? (do you think the Ghost is real or imaginary?)   The ghost of Banquo that Macbeth has a scene in the banquet scene was imaginary. This shows us that he is guilty of the murder of Banquo.
3. ]Valiant soldier or violent schemer at the beginning? Macbeth was a valiant schemer because he was loyal to King Duncan and has a lot of respect to him and did any order King Duncan has ordered him to do. Macbeth is also a violent schemer because, at the start of the movie, Macbeth was at a war and he killed everyone in his path to get to kill the enemy leaders head.
4. Which factor is most influential: (a) Witches & their prophesy? (b) Vaulting ambition? (c) Lady Macbeth? For me, the most influential was the witches and their prophecy, because the witches told Macbeth and Banquo's future, and Macbeth knowing his future, Macbeth went nuts and started to kill everyone that was in his way of being the new king of Scotland
5. To paraphrase these lines, Macbeth says that his self-delusion of seeing the ghost of Banquo is a result of the fear of the novice that needs more experience to harden him to such qualms of conscience. The last line refers to Macbeth's acknowledgment that he is yet but "young indeed," indicating that he plans to commit further abuses of power and acts of violence and murder in the future so that he can mature in his evil. The last lines of this scene thus express Macbeth's commitment to continue down the path of abandoning himself to evil.
