  1. Macbeth Act III, Scene IV By: Adam Cohen Group: Adam Cohen, Max Vasckovic, Tyler Benson, and Eric Cohen.

  2. Summary • The two murders Macbeth sent to kill to Banquo and Fleance wait patiently for them to get to back to kill the one’s Macbeth said betrayed them. • Then mysteriously a third murderer comes out of nowhere and tells him that Macbeth has sent him. • Banquo finally gets there and they kill him. While they are killing him Fleance runs away and is saved.

  3. Characters in Scene • Banquo: The Thane of Fife, father to supposed future king Fleance. One of Macbeth’s friends before he goes insane. • Fleance: Son to Banquo (Thane of Fife), supposed heir to Macbeth’s throne. • Murderers 1 and 2: Both told by Macbeth that Banquo is their enemy and also told to kill him. • Murderer 3: Supposedly sent by Macbeth to help Murderers 1 and 2 to help kill Banquo.

  4. Murderer 3, Sent by Macbeth or Not? • Supposedly Murderer 3 was sent to help Murderers 1 & 2 to kill Banquo. He could have been there for other reasons. • He could have been a spy for either Donalbain or Malcolm. • It is possible Banquo could have caught wind of the murderers and sent somebody to make sure Fleance escaped, this could be possible because Murderer 3 turns on the lamp that alerts Banquo and Fleance to there presence. • It could have been as simple as Macbeth sending him just to make that they killed both of them. • Lady Macbeth could have sent him to stop Macbeth from killing anymore. • It could have been also one of the other lords that sent him just to find Banquo but decided to find out what the other two people were doing.
