Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Macbeth. [Witches vanish.]Banquo. The earth hath bubbles, as the water has,And these are of them. Whither are they vanish’d? Macbeth. Into the air, and what seem’d corporal meltedAs breath into the wind. Would they had stay’d! Banquo. Were such things here as we do speak about?Or have we eaten on the insane rootThat takes the reason prisoner?
A
Did things really happen as we just said? Or has something happened to make us lose all reason?B
What were those creatures talking about? Did they give us a poison to make us feel insane?C
How can we tell anyone what just happened? Will they think we have lost our ability to think rationally?D
Why are we still talking about this? Do you think we imagined the whole thing?
