   • "O Banquo, O Banquo, Our royal Master is murdered" MacDuff telling Banquo that the King has been murdered.

5. Act 3 Scene 4

   • Macbeth hires two murderers to kill Banquo and his son. This shows us that Macbeth has become full of caution and will even kill his good freind to stay in power as the king. Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo at his chair and becomes mad at the feast. This shows Macbeth is full of guilt and sorrow but hides it. From the start to this point in the play Macbeth changes very rapidly from a honest and trusted soldier to a cold and dark murder.
   • "Thou canst not say, I did it; never shake thy gory locks at me!" Macbeth is talking to Banquo's ghost at the feast. None else can see it so it looks like the king is talking to himself, this makes Lady Macbeth call of the feast.
