Macbeth Act 2 Notes

Scene 1
-interesting how Banquo says

"So I lose none
In seeking to augment it, but still keep
My bosom franchised and allegiance clear,
I shall be counselled."

because he will do what Macbeth tells him to do but will still keep true to himself where as Macbeth will do whatever his wife tells him and defy his moral code.

-weird dagger hallucination, should maybe be a sign to stop
-bell summoning him to heaven or hell

Scene 2
-The deed is done and things went pretty sketchy: some servants woke up and screamed murder and another laughed, then they woke up and prayed but Macbeth couldn't say Amen after one said God bless us. Maybe because God could not bless him when he was committing murder.
-Macbeth already regrets what he has done and feels really guilty:

"Wake Duncan with thy knocking. I would thou couldst."

Scene 3
-The talk of hell by the porter just heightens the mood with fear and worry since its right after the murder.
-Lexxon talks about eerie stuff that happened at night to people and how it was pretty creepy, "woeful time" foreshadowing.
-Macbeth killed the servants who "killed" the king so they wouldn't testify against him
-Malcom and Don know what happened?

Scene 4
-Old man is talking about how unnatural the death was. Murder is unnatural just like horses eating eachother
-They think the sons did it
