Macbeth, Scene 2.

Option 2: Read the text or go on the Internet and read what happens in Act II. Summarize act II and then make a prediction about what you think will happen in the rest of the play.

Act 2 of the play is where the murders happen. In the first two scenes, many things happen. Lady Macbeth has her big speeches of wanting to be braver and bolder, asking the evil spirits to take away any 'womanly qualitys' that she has, and asking that the gods not watch on what is about to happen. Banquo and Macbeth have a conversation about "the three weird sisters' but decide to discuss them at another time. A popular part in scene one act 2 is when Macbeth sees the dagger in front of him, the blade pointing in the direction of where King Duncan is. Macbeth tries to grasp the dagger, but realizes it is just a hallucination, mostly of guilt. Lady Macbeth hears the call of Macbeth, and she thinks the chamberlains have awoken, and that no one has been killed yet. However, Macbeth comes unto Lady Macbeth and tells her that the deed is done. He is very shaken up though because he heard the guards say their prayers before going back to sleep, just before Macbeth killed them. They soon plant the evidence on the guards, and went to go wash their hands of the blood. Macbeth felt like he would never be cleaned, but Lady Macbeth would just keep reassuring him that everything would be fine. In scene 3 is when they find King Duncan dead. Macduff went to go talk to King Duncan but was surprised to find that he was dead, evidence planted on the guards. Everyone was shocked at this dismay, and chaos started when everyone came into the room. Then Macbeth declares that in his rage of the Kings death, he murdered the two guards. Everyone becomes suspicious of who the murderer is, and soon begin to think thoughts that it might be the kings two sons, Malcom and Donaldbain, because they have fled the scene. The reason they fled the scene is because they did not feel safe, because whoever was after their father could be after them as well.  In scene 3, Ross who is a thane and an old man begin to discuss the weird things that have been happening since the kings death. Its very dark in the daytime, tame horses are becoming wild and eating each other, and an owl even killed a falcon. Soon the news that Macbeth has been made king by the other lords and is soon leaving to be crowned.
 What I think is going to be happening in the rest of the play is that the witches will start to get involved, causing trouble with the people around Macbeth. I also think Lady Macbeth will start to turn into an evil woman, taking her rage out on everyone around her. I think that people might be suspicious about Macbeth being king and might find out that he is actually the murderer, and that he himself will be killed, and someone unexpected will be his murderer.
