Scene Summary Classwork/Homework 09/10/15

The scene King Duncan and his procession arrive at Inverness. Formal greetings are said between King Duncan and Lady Macbeth, who now takes on the more common role of perfect hostess.

Duncan’s speech on his arrival at Inverness is heavy with dramatic irony. Not only is the “seat” of the castle “pleasant,” but the air is sweeter than to what the king is used to. The presence of the martlet serves to add to the irony. As far as the king is concerned, the castle, from the outside, appears to be a somewhat paradise.

The king’s address to Lady Macbeth and her next reply are full of the heightened language of formal introduction: “God ‘ild you,” “We rest your hermits ever.” Of course, her complex greeting contrasts her language of the previous scene and emphasizes her falsity.

The day in which they I had much success.  My brother is unable to gather the strength and power to outsmart the headmaster. In the past year I had no authority in this school how ever as the years have past I have built up my status and now have the power to overcome this evil headmaster. The three membership leaders have praised me much, however I am not sure if I can trust due to their position in this school. They referred to me as very intellectual but it may just be to entice me to join them. But I need to tell my partner, my brother Macbeth not to lose hope and happiness as I will conquer the headmaster. And to that I bid farewell and we must meet and speak again.
