Welcome to Act 3 Scene 1 of Macbeth 👀📖
This scene takes place in the royal palace at Forres and shows how power has already begun to corrupt Macbeth.

Banquo opens the scene alone, reflecting on the witches’ prophecies.
Macbeth is now king, just as they predicted.
This makes Banquo uneasy, especially because the witches also said his own sons would be kings.

Macbeth enters as king and speaks politely to Banquo.
On the surface, he appears friendly and generous.

However, once Banquo leaves, Macbeth reveals his true thoughts.
He sees Banquo and Fleance as threats to his crown.

Macbeth meets with two murderers and manipulates them into killing Banquo.
He convinces them that Banquo is the cause of their suffering and promises reward.

Importantly, Macbeth keeps this plan secret from Lady Macbeth.
He is now acting alone and taking control of violence himself.

By the end of the scene, Macbeth has moved from reacting to events to actively creating them.
His ambition has hardened into cruelty.

👑🩸📖
The crown is no longer enough.
