Macbeth Act 1

Act 1 starts with the three witches around a cauldron chanting and talking about when they are going to meet again. We are then taken to an army camp near King Duncan's castle, where we witness a bloody Sergent reports to King Duncan how the war is going. He reports how grand Macbeth battled in the war, and King Duncan announces he will kill the traitor Cawdor and give his land and title to Macbeth as a reward for his service. The next scene the witches are back, but this time they meet up with Macbeth and Banquo. Macbeth and Banquo question the reality of the witches. The witches then refer Macbeth as the Thane of Glamis, to the Than of Cawdor, and lastly calling him King. The witches then vanish and Ross greets Macbeth as Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth then gets the idea of killing King Duncan but decides not too. In scene 4 we are taken to King Duncans castle and Duncan is confronted by his son. Malcom tells the king that the old Thane of Cawdor is dead. The King is then introduced to Macbeth and the others, Duncan then greets Macbeth, calling him his worthiest cousin, and saying that thanks and recompense are not enough to pay for all he did in battle. The king also greets and embraces Banquo. While leaving Macbeth feels he must take out Malcom, because he stands in his way to the crown. We then see Lady Macbeth reading the letter Macbeth sent her. Telling her about meeting the 3 witches and how they predicted the future and it came true.
