Mabeth Act 3 Scene 2 Rewrite
Macbeth ~ Act 3, Scene 2
Summary:
Lady Macbeth sends her servant for Macbeth. Macbeth tries to convince Lady Macbeth that everything is alright. But Macbeth still thinks there is still a threat, lady tells him to act happy for the guest.
Lady does not want to kill Banquo, but Macbeth wants to kill Banquo and Fleance. He does not want lady to know what is going on.
Script:
Lady: Has Banquo left the court yet?
Servant: Yes, madam. But he is returning later tonight.
Lady: Tell Macbeth I will visit him later. I have to have a few words with him.
Servant: Yes madam, I will go now.
Servant Exits
Lady: Nothing’s ours, all is gone, we got what we wanted, but not with happiness. It is safer to be what we destroy than by destruction and we are in doubtful joy.
Macbeth Enters Welcome my lord! Why were you alone? Of sorriest fancies your compassions making, those thoughts you have, they should be dead. You should never think of them, they are not around anymore. What’s done is done!
Macbeth: We have wounded the snake, but it is not dead. It will come better and be itself after our poor doing. Remains in danger of her former fang Let the frame of things come apart both heaven and earth will suffer. We will eat our meal in fear and sleep with the terrible dreams we have, we will have deep sadness. The dreams will wake us up nightly and shake us. We will be better with the dead, in peace, than lying thinking about the bad,

in a restless frenzy. Duncan is in his grave, after dying of that terrible disease, he sleeps well.
Lady: Come on, hurry up my lord, and fix up your rugged face.

    Macbeth's Ruthless Quotes

    • 717 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Macbeth is paranoid of losing his position, he wants to keep it to himself as well as to his descendants. As the three witches described Banquo: “Lesser than Macbeth and greater, not so happy yet much happier, thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.”, implying that Banquo is the root of many kings, Banquo and his son is a threat to Macbeth’s crown(1.3.68-70). Macbeth plans an assassination of Banquo and Fleance while they are on a ride before the dinner at Macbeth’s castle(3.1.129-144). Banquo is murdered and Fleance flees(3.3.29-30). Banquo’s ghost shows up at the dinner and scares Macbeth. Even though Macbeth doesn’t regret killing Banquo, he is still conscious of his terrible actions and the guilt of bringing Banquo to the end of his life. Macbeth at this point has become ruthless enough to murder his close…

    Macbeth goes to his wife and begins to explain how Banquo is a concern that needs to be eliminated. Although Lady Macbeth is completely against the idea in her head, she doesn’t say anything. Macbeth goes on to say that Banquo is a snake and all they have done is harm the snake, and there’s the possibility it could heal.
