the rest of Act III

In this chapter, the symbolism that I thought was very prominent, and that was disease/injury. "Then Comes my fit again." (Page 134) "With trenched gashes on his head; the last a death to nature." (Page 134) "Never shake thy gory locks at me." (Page 136) "Painting of your fear." (Page 136) All of these quotes show how ill Macbeth is becoming as the ghost of Banquo appears and disappears before him. "I have a strange infirmity, which is nothing to those that know me." (page 138) This is Macbeth trying to shake off what just happened and say that his illness is not a big deal. Then, it becomes apparent that Macbeth has ruined the feast finally when Lady Macbeth said "You have displaced the mirth, broke the good meeting, with most admired disorder." (Page 140)then there after that Macbeth continues to get worse.
