Excerpt 1: Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Macbeth is thinking about killing Banquo. He remembers the witches’ prophecy that Banquo’s sons will be king after Macbeth. In this excerpt, "seed” means "descendants.”[Macbeth.] He chid the sistersWhen first they put the name of king upon me,And bade them speak to him; then, prophet-like,They hail’d him father to a line of kings.Upon my head they plac’d a fruitless crown,And put a barren sceptre in my gripe,Thence to be wrench’d with an unlineal hand,No son of mine succeeding. If ’t be so,For Banquo’s issue have I fil’d my mind;For them the gracious Duncan have I murder’d;Put rancours in the vessel of my peaceOnly for them; and mine eternal jewelGiven to the common enemy of man,To make them kings, the seed of Banquo kings!Excerpt 2: Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Macbeth is speaking with Lady Macbeth. He suggests that something terrible will happen to Banquo and to Banquo’s son, Fleance, tonight.Macbeth.

Come, seeling night,Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible handCancel and tear to pieces that great bondWhich keeps me pale! Light thickens, and the crowMakes wing to the rooky wood;Good things of day begin to droop and drowse,[While] night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.Thou marvell’st at my words: but hold thee still;Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill:So, prithee, go with me.
