My Presentation Of Macbeth Act 3 Scene 4 Essay, Research Paper

10Hn This essay will show my interpretation of Act 3

Scene 4 from Macbeth. This scene is a turning point in the play because we see

the first glimpse of Macbeth?s guilty conscience, which becomes the cause of

his downfall. In my performance of Act 3 Scene 4, I will present an emotional

and psychological interpretation of Macbeth, to show that it is a play about

temptation ? how Macbeth is tempted to kill King Duncan to become King himself.

It also shows how Macbeth cracks under pressure, and how his conscience

troubles him by appearing in the form of Banquo?s ghost. Banquo was one of the

men that he ordered to be murdered in order for him to rise to power and become

King.I am going to go for a symbolic approach; the

ghost is a representative of Macbeth?s conscience, only Macbeth is able to feel

his guilt, and so he is the only person who can see the ghost.
