Internal Conflict
In Act III Macbeth is faced with an internal conflict. The guilt that he has from killing King Duncan, and now how Macbeth plotted a murder against Duncan for his knowledge about his prophecies. Because of this internal conflict Macbeth is weak and can no longer sleep and is having hallucinations. Macbeth is feeling a huge amount of guilt. He is trying to prove to the ghost of "Banquo" that he is innocent. He is slowly dieing from the inside out because of his guilt.

Your post brings up a good point. Macbeth was struggling with an internal conflict from the murders he was responsible for. He was also weak and did experience hallucinations, however I would not say that Macbeth is trying to prove to Banquo's ghost that he is innocent. I believe that since it is an internal conflict that it would be Macbeth trying to prove to him self that he is not guilty of the murders. I also think that you need to expand on the topic more since your post was on the short side.
ReplyDeletePost was very confusing at times but I do agree with the overall concept of it. Macbeth felt guilty for most of the play. You touched on how and why he felt guilty. I felt like the examples were well used.
