Thunder and lightning crash above a Scottish moor
It was storming out that night and it struck the moor and the three witches come about. I picked this because it stood out when I read it.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth enter as king and queen
They are the main people in the play. They both have control over the play.

At a military camp near his palace at Forres
King Duncan talks to a wounded captain for news about the Scots’ battle. The wounded helped Duncan’s son.

Sanuel -- Airbourne Dagger


The Third thing I thought was Odd was the Floating Dagger in front Of Macbeth. This symbolizes that Macbeth really doesn’t want to kill Duncan but he has to because the dagger disappears. Macbeth has to though because he wants to be the king.

Samuel -- Pop Goes the Ghost


The Ghost of Banquo. Banquo was murdered and then his ghost appears at the Dinner Table like nothing happened. I thought it was weird because The Ghost popped out exactly when the whole table was talking about him. It’s like Banquo left but was still there through the whole play, just an entity making an entrance whenever he pleased. It was just odd because no ghost ever does that, they all tend to hide in secret, f they even exist.

Samuel -- No Typical Witches

The first oddity of Macbeth was the Three Ugly Witches. They seemed to know what the future looked like for Macbeth when he didn’t. I thought it was weird how there were 3. What does the number three symbolize? In other Stories like Hercules there were 3 witches. Also the Witches talked in Unison and knew exactly what to say to Macbeth like they were all one person. They were also burning the cauldron like how typical witches do. I strongly believe that William Shakespeare made this a theme for all witches after he made this play.

Brent -- Freaky Banquo

The third thing that I think that was odd about the play was the ghost of Banquo. I think that ghosts are a weird thing probably no  matter what time period you are in. Ghosts are really kind of a freaky thing. I think that they would frighten many people if they had an encounter with one. Some people believe that ghosts are not even real though. Even if you do not believe in them, the thought of them is still a little startling. The ghost of Banquo was definitely an odd part of the play.

Brent -- Suicide is Odd.

I also believe that it is a bit odd how Lady Macbeth killed herself. I don't think that it is very common, even now, for someone to kill themselves. Maybe she felt guilty for being so controlling over her husband or maybe she just hated her life that much that she felt the need to take her own life. Either way, I think that it is quite odd that she killed herself. It is pretty rare for somebody to do that to themselves. 

Brent -- My pants

I think that one of the oddities of the play is that there are witches. It just seems a little weird to me that there would be witches in this play. I think that back in the day, talking about witches and stuff like that may have been a little bit more common. I think that anything about a witch could really freak someone out or scare them at least a little bit. I think that witches can really strike fear into someone's eyes. I know that if i saw one i may potentially crap my pants.
