Scene 1:
Lady Macbeth brings great distress as she sleep walks and talks in her sleep about the treachery her and Macbeth have committed. "Out, dammed spot! Out, I say!" She hallucinates of the blood on her hands from her murders showing she is perpetuated by guilt. All these occurrences show she has clearly gone mad from guilt. "The Thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?" The Thane of Fife being Macduff and his wife having been murdered, it may show Lady fears for her own safety by the tyrannical Macbeth asides from feeling guilt.
Scene 2:
The Lords and the English Army march on towards Birnan Wood and make their battle plan against Macbeth. Macbeth's treacheries are clear to the Lords "His secret murders sticking on his hands;" and they denounce his followers "Those he commands move only in command, Not in love." They have the impression that Macbeth has swum out his depth "Now does he feel his title Hang loose about him like a giant's robe Upon a dwarfish thief."
Scene 3:
Falsely confident from the prophecies told by the apparitions, Macbeth courageously prepares for battle, unwavering at the oncoming battle; whilst also showing little concern towards Lady's worsening condition.
Scene 4:
At Birnan Wood, Malcolm discusses battle plans; they will carry shrubbery as they advance to hide their numbers...they are moving Birnan Woods.
Scene 5:
Macbeth rallies his forces showing he is still a fierce soldier. After hearing a woman cry, Macbeth claims to have forgotten the feeling of fear and that to hear a scream in the night would have shaken him once before but he has seen so many horrors now, nothing stirs him; lines 9-16. These few lines make the following remarks on life less shocking. Macbeth ultimately calls all his actions in life pointless and brief because death is the final result of everything "To the last syllable of recorded time;" Macbeth calls life a walking shadow, possibly the shadow of death in accordance with the idea that death is the true face of everything. "a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage" may suggest that Macbeth believes he has been a tool of the Witches. The last line of Macbeths mini-speech "Signifying nothing." fully encompass the message by Macbeth, life, his deeds and even the speech he just gave are summarised as nothing. Macbeth is informed the woods are moving. "There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here. I 'gin to aweary of the sun." this is a direct reference to the Greek myth of Icarus who flew too close to the sun and suffered for it, Macbeth knows there is no escape and is tired of his reign.
Scene 6:
Macbeth kills Lord Seyward's son reinforcing his belief he cannot be killed by a man woman-born. Malcolm and Seyward enter the castle. "Why should I play the Roman fool and die" this line spoken by Macbeth may refer to Julius Caesar who was brutally murdered by his followers. Macduff finds Macbeth and reveals to him he "was from his mother's womb Untimely ripped.” they fight and Macbeth is killed. Macduff meets with the other Lords carrying Macbeth's severed head. Malcolm proclaims a new reign and grants his Thanes the title of Earls, an English term; symbolising a new era and prosperity between once enemies.

Macbeth Reading Journal: Act Four
Scene 1:
Rather than the Witches coming to Macbeth, Macbeth has chosen to seek the Witches for knowledge on his future. The Act begins with the Witches enchanting another spell like they did at the beginning of Act 1, which signalled the dawn of a new King brought about by bloodshed, with hindsight, it is possible to deduct the chanting in Act 4, Scene 1 is bringing about another King's downfall: Macbeth's. This is reinforced by the Witches response to Macbeth when he meets them "A deed without a name", they will not disclose their plans for they spell his death, like Duncan's death was kept secret from him. From the second apparition, it is also revealed that Macbeth cannot die at the hands of a man born of a woman; which logically would grant Macbeth immortality but it is clear the apparitions are telling the truth but not the whole truth as from Act 3, the Witches have turned on Macbeth. Macbeth is also fooled into an untouchable status that his castle will not fall till the woods themselves of Birnan move. Through conversing with the Witches, it is revealed Macbeth should fear Macduff and after learning Macduff has fled to England; Macbeth plans to kill Macduff's family and house.
Scene 2:
Macduff's wife and son are warned of their imminent murders by Ross, Macbeth's own man; which shows even Macbeth's own followers are wary, concerned and beginning to turn against Macbeth. Wife and Son also have a conversation concerning Macduff as a traitor "What is a traitor?" which may foreshadow Macbeth's betrayal of country and their betrayal of Macbeth. Son and Wife are killed.
Scene 3:
Macduff finds Malcolm in England. Macduff having seemingly lost hope in Scotland is tested by Malcolm who pretends to not care for Scotland until Malcolm is confident Macduff's loyalty is still tied to Scotland. They speak of the deterioration of Scotland and Macbeth's tyranny "Bleed, bleed, poor country! Great tyranny, lay thy basis sure,” Notably, the King of England is praised as being a most prosperous and caring King. Ross meets the pair and tells Macduff of his murdered family. Malcolm tells Macduff to turn his grief to anger as they head to Scotland to overthrow Macbeth with English forces backing them.

Macbeth Act Three Reading Journal
Scene 1:
Banquo fathoms the Witches prophecy that he and Macbeth shall be Kings and the subsequent fulfilment of Macbeth's fate begs him to consider what will happen to his own fate. So too does Macbeth begin to consider the very same idea, beginning to fear his own betrayal by Banquo "a barren sceptre in my grip, Thence to be wrenched by with an unlineal hand," resulting in his decision to have Banquo murdered. Macbeth feels as though his betrayal of his King has been in vain because it is just a step for Banquo’s lineage to take over "For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered,” Macbeth's murderous tendencies have manifested that he begins to become indifferent to more bloodshed.
Scene 2:
This scene is a pivotal moment for the characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as Macbeth becomes the bolder and more malicious of the two, having to carry their dark deeds as Lady had done. It's as if they have switched roles which is reinforced by the way Macbeth stirred the murderers in Scene 1 by questioning their manhood as Lady had done to Macbeth in Act Two.
Scene 3:
Banquo is murdered by Macbeth's employed murderers but his son Fleance escapes.
Scene 4:
Upon report that during the murder, Fleance escaped, Macbeth fears that the boy will persist as a problem "The worm that's fled Hath nature that in time will breed,” As the dinner arranged by Macbeth with several Lords continues, Macbeth envisions the ghost of Banquo, causing much alarm for him, Lady and the guests. The vision of a bloody and dead Banquo shows Macbeth's guilt for the murder of his friend. The fact that Macbeth fully believes Banquo is present shows his deeper descent into madness whereas in Act Two Macbeth was able to question his apparition of the dagger "Avaunt, and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!” Macbeth's lust for power have taken over him and all his previous morals, he shows little to none hesitation in acting upon the murders of yet more people "We are yet but young in deed."
Scene 5:
The Witches are visited by Hecat, the goddess of witchcraft. Though Hecat denounces the Witches for acting without her consent, she orders the witches to create visions for Macbeth that will make him doubt his security. The presence and intervention of Hecat, an entity more evil than even the Witches, foreshadows that greater sins are to come.
Scene 6:
The lord, Lennox speaks with another lord over the deterioration of Scotland It is revealed there is suspicion for Macbeth to be the murderer of Duncan and Banquo and that Macbeth is unloved by his peers, contrary to Duncan.

And more Mini Lesson Notes on Macbeth
Knock, knock! Never at quiet! What are you? - But this
place is too cold for hell. I'll devil-porter it no further.
I had thought to have let in some of all professions that
go the primrose way to the everlasting bonfire.
The repetitive knocks coincide with the Porter naming all the characters that are going to Hell e.g. the farmer who committed suicide, the equivicator that could not make it to Heaven and the counterfeiting english tailor. The line "Never at quiet!" may refer to the eternal inferno and torture that is Hell.
Notable is the use of the word "What" rather than "Who" on the first line, this gives way to the idea that the people coming to Hell are no longer human and now possibly monsters and this again infers the concept of the supernatural.
The line "I had thought to have let in..." suggests that the Porter is the gatekeeper to Hell and as the Porter works for the house of Macbeth, this further suggests that Macbeth is the Devil himself and his castle, Hell.

More Mini Lesson Notes on Macbeth
Act Two, Scene 3: The Porter, Fool or the Devil's Gatekeeper?
Act Two, Scene 4, Lines 10-20. A falcon, an animal recognised as strong and a top predator (Duncan) is killed by an Owl, an animal of lower recognition and power (Macbeth). Horses, a symbol of servitude and loyalty rebel and break free of their bonds, like Macbeth, they served Duncan and like Macbeth, they are now going against his will aggressively. "'Tis said they ate each other." the peculiarity and vulgarness of this line reinforces the interpretation Macbeth's castle is Hell.
- Lots of reference to the gateway of Hell and people going to Hell.
- Could simply be for comic relief and entertainment.
- Porter contrasts the nobleman Macduff as a drunkard peasant.
- The repetition of the 'knocks' may represent the knocking of each person that the Porter describes as they make their way into Hell.
- 'The Fool' is often comical, but isn't a fool at all, only playing the part and actually aware of future plot twists and clever. The character of 'The Fool' could have been developed to attract lower classes of society to the theatre and allow them to relate to the play.
- Macbeth's castle could be interpreted as Hell with him as the Devil. Reinforced by the strangeness of the events taking place.
- The Porter's lines are not in iambic pentameter, but in prose, distancing himself from the play's other characters and convention.

Mini Lesson Notes on Macbeth: The Murder of Sleep
Methought I heard a voice cry, 'Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep - the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.'
Still it cried 'Sleep no more' to all the house;
'Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor
Shall sleep no more, Macbeth shall sleep no more.'
The fact Macbeth believes he is hearing this voice supports the idea that he is guilty over his murderous deed, he feels judged and not only this, he is afraid.
The belief he will never sleep again stems from how hurt his mind is from having killed his King. The line "innocent sleep" does not just state Macbeth is not innocent but it may be referring to the innocence of Duncan and the innocence of sleep itself, the very innocence Macbeth has violated and killed "Macbeth does murder sleep". Macbeth goes on to list the good things of sleep "sore labour's bath,", 'sleep' is a thing of nurture, healing and warmth and this accentuates Macbeth's sin in "killing" it. Macbeth has killed sleep and through doing it, he will never experience again all the good things to do with it "Macbeth shall sleep no more." this line can also be interpreted as Macbeth now becoming paranoid and an insomniac through fear of being murdered in his own sleep.
The human necessity for sleep and Macbeth's proclaimed inability to have it makes Macbeth seem inhuman, as if the murder of Duncan has transformed him into a monster, similar to Lady Macbeth's desire to transform sexes. The idea of supernatural transformation is reinforced by the musical pace of the lines that likens Macbeth to making a chant which would make the link that he is now an otherworldly being like that of the evil Three Witches.

Macbeth Act One Reading Journal
Act One, Scene 1: The introductory scene is short, involving solely the introduction of the Three Witches, Shakespeare uses pathetic fallacy to demonstrate the evil and maliciousness of the witches through their entrance alongside 'Thunder and lightning'. The scene foreshadows conflict in the play "When the battle's lost, and won." and language such as 'fog and filthy air' insinuates acts of deceit and corruption. The witches present the Gothic element of the Supernatural through their chants e.g. "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" which incite that magical forces are at play. The scene uses many short, single lines by each of the Witches, this creates a rhythm and quickening pace likened to that of a witches chant.
Act One, Scene 2: The scene takes place at a Scottish military camp after a battle between the Scots against the Irish and Norwegians. Macbeth is ironically glorified for his prestige and courage during the battle by his fellow captains. Stemming from a battle, there are numerous references to blood, which may foreshadow bloodshed that is to come. Macbeth's ascension to Thane of Cawdor signals a rise of power and this coupled with the other nations fighting against Scotland may give the impression that Macbeth is rising to power against the King, this betrayal is reinforced by the betrayal by the previous Thane of Cawdor.
Act One, Scene 3: There is a recurring association of Thunder with the entrance of the witches, asides from the opinion that the thunder may represent their evilness, the thunder may also express the witches as a Godly power, this coincides with the possibility of the witches being past, present and future making them supernaturally omnipresent. The evil of the witches is emphasized when they meet and mention their own recent activities and each one has been 'killing' or 'plotting'. The rhyming chant of the First Witch which may be interpreted as like that if a nursery rhyme is contrasted to the reality that these characters are dangerous and sinful. This is also the scene where it is revealed to Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland by the witches and that he is the new Thane of Cawdor by Ross, confirming the Witches' prophecy. Macbeth contemplates whether the crown will come to him or whether he will have to do a deed.
Act One, Scene 4: It is revealed that King Duncan "built An absolute trust." with Macdonwald foreshadowing again that a future betrayal by the Thane of Cawdor is at the midst. This is the first time Duncan and Macbeth speak together and being after the prophecy, Macbeth's words to the King may be interpreted as half-hearted or tongue-in-cheek "the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself.". With attention to Macbeth's last portion in the scene, his line's assume the rhyming pattern of the Witches placing him alongside their devious ranks, this is shown further by the line "that is a step, On which I must fall down" which symbolises his fall from grace in betraying the King; the word 'must' here may also mean that Macbeth has already decided his course of treason. Duncan's decision to make Malcolm his heir to the throne also poses another obstacle for Macbeth, will he have to kill Malcolm in addition to Malcolm?
Act One, Scene 5: This scene places heavy focus on the character Lady Macbeth (LM) who is heavily stirred by the notion that her husband is to be King. She may be interpreted as the raw and brash incarnation of Macbeth himself, this interpretation however goes against the previous proceedings that Macbeth is a valiant and honourable man. Shakespeare's decision to introduce LM through her reading a letter may illiterate that LM is not acting upon her own accord entirely in the scene, where she behaves much unlike a typical woman of her time, spewing words such as "Come you spirits....unsex me here," which is supernatural and goes against God much like Frankenstein with his Creation and that met dire consequences. LM believes that to go forth with her merciless plan, she must "uneffeminate" herself, to have strength and no remorse like a soldier. She dominates Macbeth and criticises his hesitancy.
Act One, Scene 6: This scene shows Lady Macbeth's (LM) other side to her persona, she gives the impression of utter gratitude and dedication to the King, whilst simultaneously plotting against him; showing her cunning and ruthlessness.
Act One, Scene 7: This scene entails Macbeth's procrastination and resultant decision to act upon his and Lady Macbeth's (LM) constructed plan. In the dark and left alone to his thoughts, Macbeth begins his long soliloquy, considering and procrastinating his plan to kill the King save the consequences that could follow. His sentences are short bursts; like a train of nervous thought. Macbeth's values the King's good virtues and see's only his own ambition as a factor pushing him to do commit treason. Macbeth attempts briefly to regain his honour "We will proceed no further in this business:" but like Eve tempting Adam, LM, almost representing the woman of sin, soon enters to quell his hesitation and steal his remorse. It seems as though Lady Macbeth acts as the voice in the back of Macbeth's mind, doubting him and pushing him to carry out his dark deed; she does this by attacking Macbeth's manhood and dignity "live a coward in thine own esteem?". The scene is very sexual with LM likening Macbeth's desire to become King like his desire for a woman "Such I account thy love...To be in the same in thine act...As thou art in desire?" There is a strong theme of betrayal here as Macbeth ponders the betrayal of his King and country and LM betrays her womanly virtues "while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,". With all this switching of gender roles; Gothically, it plays out as if Macbeth is the '"woman" at threat from a tyrannical male' (LM). Macbeth ends the scene with two lines "Away and mock the time....what the false heart doth know" that are of striking similar fashion to the ending two lines from Act One, Scene 1 by the Witches, these two lines follow up on the themes of deceit and forthcoming sin.
