The good news is that Macbeth is king now. Yay! But it seems that he is still unsatisfied, even with literally ALL the power. In Act III, Macbeth assigns the two murderers a gruesome task: kill Banquo and his son, Fleance. In Act IV, he orders Macduff and his family's murder.
1. What rationale (reason) does he give for wanting to kill Banquo? Macduff?
2. Name one character trait that this action demonstrates.
3. Last, speculate about what you think the play is trying to say about power.
You should take at least three sentences to answer the questions.
