After reading the letter a messenger came and told Lady Macbeth that King Duncan will be coming to dinner that evening, she quickly concludes that in order of Macbeth to be King, Duncan must die that very night, She knows that it will not be easy persuading Macbeth to go done with the murder, because she says he is the milk of human kindness. When Macbeth arrives at the castle Lady Macbeth greets him by telling him that they must kill Duncan, he first seems hesitant but Lady Macbeth assures him he will be king by the next day.Later that night Lady Macbeth drugged the kings attendants when he was asleep, therefore she gives the signal for Macbeth to kill Dunca n, so Macbeth enters Duncans room and draws his dagger and kills him, After the deed is done Macbeth wishes he hadnt gone along with the murder, he expresses this by looking at his hands covered with Duncans blood and says what a sorry sight.After all the investigations the castle dismisses the case as the twain attendants the murderers. Once Macbeth is crowned king of Scotland he thinks about the people who would confuse the close set(predicate) idea that he was responsible for the murder of Duncan, he then realises the closest person would be Banquo who was there when the witches told the prophecies to Macbeth, and although Macbeth is unsure Banquo is already starting to suspect him of the murder. Days later Macbeth finds out that Banquo and Fleance are going hunting the next day, he firstly arranges a feast in honour of Banquo the day they go hunting to clear his name for any wrong doing, then he hires cardinal assassins to kill Banquo and his son while they are hunting, but first he has to talk Lady Macbeth into it, he does so by scarring her, saying we will eat our meals in fear and sleep in the affliction of the of these terrible dreams. The next day just before the feast the assassins enter Macbeths room and tells him that they have killed Banquo but not his son, because he had fled before they could do so.
