We analyzed the appearance of Banquo's ghost as a further manifestation of the supernatural in the play. We noted how Lady Macbeth again impugns Macbeth's masculinity as he exhibits dread and faintheartedness in the face of a ghost that appears to be nothing more than a figment of his guilty conscience . As we will be tracing character transformation, Matthew noted how Lady Macbeth in Act III is no different than she was in Act I- a woman without conscience -while Macbeth has lost what little confidence he had in achieving power through murder. We then modified Matthew's study guide answers to reflect class discussion.
