MacBeth “Whose execution takes your enemy off,

Grapples you to the heart and love of us,

Who ear our health bu sickly in his life,

Which in his death were perfect.”

**In here, Mabeth is explaining to the Murders why they should kill Banquo. His thoughs are violent, as he influences the thoughts of the Murderes to kill Banquo, by saying Banquo ruined theyre lives.He states that as long as Banquo is alive, he is sick. And therefore, they should eliminate him.**

Act 3 - Scene 1 - p.44 line 116-117

MacBeth “Both of you

Know Banquo was your enemy.”

**This is a direct statement that Macbeth says towards the Murderers. He says that they should murder him as he is theyre enemy for giving the Murderers such a low status.**

Act 3 - Scene 1 - p.44 line 140-143

MacBeth “I’ll call upon you straight. Abide within.

It is conclude: Banquo, thy soul’s flight,

If it find heaven, must find it out tonight.”

**Macbeth now has confirmation of the due date of Banquo’s murder, and when it will occur (Outside the castle, ambush Banquo and his son). As he says this, there is no sign of sympathy. All he thinks of is his death and how it will compensate him by elimanating futur problems.**

Banquo dies…

Third Murderer “Who did strike out the light?”

First Murderer “Was’t not the way?”

Third Murderer “There’s but one down; the son is fled.”
Second Murderer “We have lost best half of our affair.”

First Murderer “Well, let’s away and say how much is done.”

**Here the murderes and discussing Banquo’s murder, and how Fleance -his son- fled. All the murderes are woried about right now is that they wil only get half theyre pay, and do not care that they took a life. This scene is the most violent and evident  throughout the Act III**
