Macbeth Act 3: Scene 4 - 6

Here are some images I found in the reading. "Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mock'ry, hence!" (Macbeth, page 140) For this quotation, Macbeth has been seeing the ghost of Banquo at their dinner party. However, everyone else has no idea what Macbeth is doing or what he is seeing. By this point, Lady Macbeth has been trying to reenforce the fact that Macbeth acts like this all the time and that there's no need to become alarmed. But, pretty much, this quote is Macbeth telling the ghost of Banquo or this 'shadow' to go away. Another quotation, " Did he not straight, in pious rage, the two delinquents tear, that were the slaves of drink and sleep?" (Lennox, page 150) This is when Lennox is talking to the other lords about several of the most turn of events that have taken place. But, with this quotation, Lennox is asking the lords if Macbeth did the right thing by killing the two 'murderous' servants, that were drunk and lacking of 'sleep', right after he found Duncan dead. Lennox believes that it was a very noble and wise decision. And, finally, "The cloudy messenger turns me his back..." (Lord, page 152) With this quotation, the lord is taking about how this 'cloudy' or shadow/mysterious messenger turned up and gave him a message from Macduff saying that he will not attend Macbeth's gathering. Not only is the messenger mysterious but other characters and other events can easily be seen as the same... 'cloudy'.
