The moments leading up to the Macbeth killing King Duncan he goes through a lot of changes. As he tries to make sense of his actions he imagines a dagger. We know it’s not real he tries to grab it and he can’t touch it. Macbeth is having hallucinations , his brain is trying to make sense of what he’s doing so he imagines things. He hears a bell and says it’s inviting him. He’s trying to move blame from him he also says that this is ment to happen as it was easy to set up. Going back to the dagger instead of realising it’s an illusion he says that he can only rely on his eyes and all his other sense are tricking him. Macbeth is trying to shed blame and make it right to himself. After he does the dead in the next scene Lady Macbeth says she would’ve killed the King herself only if he didn’t look like her father. She is also making up reasons as to why she couldn’t kill the King. Macbeth’s state of mind is deterioratenig. The witches can be said to be illusions but Banquo also saw them but the blade is an illusion and that really puts into question Macbeth’s sanity. He is about to kill a man who’s been good too him and (believed to be) chosen God. After the murder Macbeth refuses to put the blades next to the gaurds to frame them and spoke loudly of the crime like he wanted to get caught. Subconsciously Macbeth knows what he did was wrong and the only thing right would be to get admit the truth and take full blame. After doing the dead Macbeth cannot bless the body he says he couldn’t get it out. Macbeth feels like God has abonded him. Macbeth also imanged that a sleeping curse has been put on him and the tought the play he doesn’t sleep. Not sleeping can turn a person crazy as they need sleep and Macbeth can only go bad with this. Macbeth wishes he could go back and thinks himself q bad person who’s been abounded by God and worthy of punshiment.
