lesson 2 thought question 2

Three creepy witches with beards are definitely nightmare material and it would seem that's the case for poor Banquo. What is it that people do when they have a problem they can't handle?  1st they deny it( like when someone tells you that you spelled a word wrong) and 2nd they share it with others( like A.A meetings). When given the opportunity Banquo tells Macbeth," All's well(denial). I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters(sharing):" I believe that's reason to think that Banquo knows he's got a problem. Macbeth on the other hand denies and ignores, the sign of something to hide." I think not of them" is his response to Banquo's revelation, Because unlike Banquo he wants to hide that the witches have made him ambitious to the point of murder.

  1. I like how you relate what you are saying to what most everyone will understand. example: "like when someone tells you that you spelled a word wrong..."

    Ben.
