"Very superstitious, the devil's on his way" :0 -Stevie Wonder

Macbeth went ballistic in Act 3. Dude was talking to himself, acting real strange. He even scared himself, not to mention his guest that he was suppose to be entertaining. Lady Macbeth trying to keep Macbeth sane at least half sane so that he won't give up what he has done. She kind of making it seem like Macbeth acts this way all of the time.

O _ o

In act 3 we see this in Macbeth when him and his wife have guest over, and sees the ghost of Banquo While lady Macbeth it trying to keep him at least part sane, so the he doesn't scare there guest off. But that doesnt seam to work because Macbeth starts interacting with the ghost and lady Macbeth asks her guest to please excuse themselves.

Melissa: I agree with everything you said. The guy is Insane.
Aerial: lol you made me laugh with that whole b-a-n-a-n-a-s thing. Its true though.

Macbeth is insane.

At this point in the play, I consider Macbeth to be insane. Just by the way he thinks its just crazyyy. He pictures himself killing someone and I think a normal person will never come across thinking about killing someone. He also talks to himself a lot that is not normal. Maybe later on something will prove that what I consider him to be right now is wrong but till now he is insane.

I lost my mind years ago & I've never been happier then I am today. :)

Honestly, I've read this years ago and I never once thought Macbeth was a nutter (Lady Macbeth, on the other hand? B***h is a little bit psycho, straight up, mate.)

Macbeth is just a lost & misunderstood guy who got in too deep. Just like every other "higher up" in any form of government or monarchy, he eventually grew a bit too cocky and a lot power hungry. Give a person a inch, they'll eventually take a mile, y'know?

Everyone's a bit cracked in the head, honestly. Saying someone is a loon, even a made up character out of some long overrated play, and not even remembering that you too are a bit of a mess yourself, is just poor judgement haha.

MACBETH IS JUST DUMB

Macbeth isn't insane he is just plan stupid. He is being peer preasured by his wife to kill someone, and i guess it actually makes him crazy because he actually does it. Later on in the play he starts to get wife from snapped crazy. But at this point in the story he is just a total idiot to me.

Esta loco psycho!!!

Well let's see... what I think! Lol I think that Macbeth is freaking loco insane. He's listening to he's pyscho wife to go and kill. Little does he know if he gets caught the one that's going down is him. While he's wides hands are clean. Macbeth is pyscho all the way for soon why he's wife be telling him to do. Lady Macbeth has him like he's little servant snappin her fingers and telling him what to do. He done havenlost he's mind completely insane

SANE OR INSANE? HMMMMMMMMMMMM

I believe Macbeth was insane because he always talk to his self when nobody is in the room. Then he start dreaming weird things about killing Duncan that he really his killing him,but when he wakes up its not real. He was warning Duncan not to wake up or hear the bell because he would either go to hell or heaven. His wife Lady Macbeth put crazy things in his mind that makes him go insane. When that happens he will killed Duncan but does not want to do that. That is why he is crazy and such a wuss.

Insane -________- afflicted with or characteristic of mental derangement , very foolish

This dude is crazy! Listening to his manipulative wife, he done messed up. Shame shame, he don't have a mind of his own, he getting brain washed. At first he was cool and then all this talk about being king, he lost his b-a-n-a-n-a-s. He's bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s... ;)

Insanee!

Macbeth at this point I think is loosing his mind. He pictured how he would kill the king, who does that?! He also has his own wife getting to his head and she's filling his head with not so many great things. So i feel he is insane and not even neat the word sane.

Insane!!!! :S

I think Macbeth is very insane at this point because he just does not know what to do and all he is doing too is just following lady Macbeths lead, think about being king himself, talking to himself, what the witches said about him, and just deciding whether to kill the king or not because he knows the king trusts him.

At this point of the play I would definitely say Macbeth is insane. Ever since the first meeting with the witches, he cannot get the idea of becoming a king out of his head. He began plotting against the actual king in order to kill him and has begun talking to himself. He goes on and on about the murder and how he will, if he were to, do it. Macbeth does have his moment of saneness when he says:

"He’s here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself."

but yet completely goes against it his own reasoning's. He thinks too much about the issue at hand and doesn't know what to do.

Sane or insane that IS the question,
and the answer in that poor ol' Macbeth is insane.
He is clearly seeing things and sometimes he's not even sure himself. Like the dagger and the blood, and he thinks that its there and that its not and that its bloody like the other one he has, and he is just having all these illusions and thoughts that the sometimes he doesnt even do. i dont know he confuses me too, and then i think that i'm going insane by not reading right; then i have to re-read to make sure that i'm reading the right thing. Its just a big mess.

HIM AND LADY MACBETH ARE BOTH INSANE!!

These pigs wanna blow my house down
Head underground, to the next town
They get mad when they come to raid my pad
And I'm out in the nine-deuce Cad

Sane or Insane???

At this point in the play, do you consider Macbeth to be sane or insane? Explain.

I think that Macbeth is not crazy but i do think that he is like confused because he really doesnt know what too do. I think that Lady Macbeth is putting a lot f things inside of his head. But I think that within time he will realize things and not be so confused. I think that what really got to him was of what the three witches had told him.

Insane in the Membraneeeee O.o

I don't think he's crazy.. yet! I just think he's blinded by what the three witches told him and he's so looking forward to being king that he doesn't quite care what he has to do to be king. It's not his fault he has a wife like his but maybe he should of kept his trap shut and not said anything to his wife about being king. I think his wife is a crazy broad, she's all obsessed and desperate for her husband to become king. Its like "dang, calm down thirsty!" but we all know how crazy these women can get. Macbeth wants to be king without having to kill Duncan but also doesnt want to be looked at as a coward by his wife. Even though he is being a coward for doing what his wife says like a little puppy. PUSSSSSS!

Macbeth... Sane or Insane...0_o

At this point in the book I believe that Macbeth is insane. At times he seems as if he's sane to a person who doesn't pay much attention to him. But when you really pay attention and read deep between the lines you can't help but think he's insane. Why you say??? Because while reading Act 2 Scene1 pg 53 Macbeth is alone in the room talking among him self about the crime he will soon commit. Grasping at the imaginary dagger that is in front of him & later pulling the same dagger from his pocket. Or even when the bell rings and to himself he says "I'm going now. This is as good as done. The bell is telling me to do it. Don't listen to the bell, Duncan, because it summons you either to heaven or to hell". My point being how can you read all this with out believing Macbeth has driven him self to insanity. All from planning to commit such a crime while at the same time having to face what he has done and its consequences.

Crazzzzyyyyy:DDDD

I think Macbeth is insaneeeeeeeee! No not really i think he's just very confused on what to do and trust. He wants to listen to he's wife but then again he knows he's doing something really bad. Why? Because the king has giving him many things. To think about it i think he's going insane. he's just over thinking stufff and going crazy.

*_*

At this point in the play, I consider Macbeth to be sane. Macbeth tended to always know what he was doing at all times.He was aware of what was going around him and he was also aware of his actions and the reactions that his actions would cause. He debated whether he wants to commit a sin. He thinks ahead of himself and seems to think of the consequences he will have in his after life if he commits by Duncan. But his wife Lady Macbeth keeps peer pressuring him.

:{D.

No I don't read my horoscope daily, i sometimes even forget that they exist. but when i do get a hold of a magazine or the Internet i read just to see what it talks about. sometimes they do come true or if i read the late horoscope sometimes it would turn out to be true. and yeah i mean i find it interesting but sometimes i don't really pay attention to them, so there for i don't trust them, i have trust issues. but i have been tempted to see a psychic, but in the Mexican culture, it says that is bad luck to go see one, that you get bad luck or something like that, of that sometimes you know things that you didn't really want to know, so then you just keep thinking about that and then it comes true, i don't know something like that. So i am tempted but no i wouldn't really go till I'm older. Um i do think that some people can predict the future, not many. i do believe that people are born with a gift like that; but at the same time who knows....

I'm looking forward to the future, but my eyesight is going bad & this crystal ball is always cloudy except for when you look into the past.

Honestly, whenever I read my horoscope for any day, it's always after the day has already passed and is over with. I think I just like to make fun of them then and throw in a few snarky remarks.
I've actually been to a ton of "psychics" and alot of other things involved in the spiritual genre in the past but most of the time it was for a friend or with a friend or with whoever I was dating at the time who was involved with it.

I, actually, believe anything is possible. and when I say anything, I mean, ANYTHING.
So, hey, psychics & horoscopes? True or false? Believe it or not? Who knows? Just be open-minded. :)

SCROPS HAVE MORE FUN THAN ALL OF U!!

Yes, I read my horoscope daily. I read the one by the really really old lady. Yes i trust what it says

it's usually correct about everything. No I have never been tempted to visit a psychic because I am Psychic. Yes I think they can predict the future.Say you ask them something nine times out of ten your goning to make that thing come true by doing something stupid. Like i predict that Noonan will give me a 11 ou of 11.

Gemini :)

Do you read your horoscope daily? Do you trust what it says? Have you ever been tempted to visit a psychic? Do you think psychics can really predict the future? Explain.

I hardly ever read my horoscope but if I do it's just because I happen to be going through something that had the horoscope of the day and I'll read just to see what it says. I don't really think that there true buy there's times that I do because of what it contains. It sometimes has me thinking like is it really true. But other then that I don't really trust my horoscope I may believe it at times and what it says but not enough to trust it. I actually have been to a psychic before I think once or twice can't really remember. When I was there and they were doing there work it sort of had me scared. But at the time I was nervous of what they were going to say. But everything they told me was very true. The person didn't know me but knew everything about me by the work and everything she told me about what's going happen in my future has so far come true. So yes I think psychics can really predict the future if you actualy go to a good one and not someone who just b.s stuff. So that's my explanation of what I think about my horoscope and of a psychic.

LET'S GO PISCES LET'S GO

I read my horoscopes everyday to tell me what's going to happen. Sometimes it comes true but sometimes it don't, I don't want to jinx things to bad things start happening. I was thinking about go seeing a psychic to see what is my future, but then again I think it would be to crazy to go. I think psychic can predict the future because it can tell what is happening or what good things is coming for us. Even though some people don't believe in that stuff they sometimes things can come true.

Horoscope and psychics

I do sometimes read my horoscopes and there are times that I do believe what it says but also depends on what it contains. I do not really trust what it say sometimes because like i said before it depends. I have never been tempted to visit a psychic and sometimes i do think some could predict the future because also you have to be careful they are not scamming you. There are some psychics that do that and we all need to be careful if we do visit a psychic . I do believe that there are people out there some how could predict on what could happen and it is amazing. Especially more Hispanic psychics are able to predict the future because they always somehow come true personally I believe in paranormal psychics because when they come to haunted place they always know how the spirits are feeling, knowing on what is going on, or knowing what they are saying and it is true when examining the information.

Aquarius :D

I don't read my horoscope daily, but when I'm looking through a magazine or
newspaper, I get curious and take a look at it. I don't wanna say that I trust
what it says, but I think it's sometimes a coincidence! Not everything that it
says is entirely true. And I've never been tempted to visit a phychic, I'd get creeped out D; I'm not much of a superstitious person, it could be true and it could not be true that they can predict the future :O

Leo :)

Do you read your horoscope daily? Do you trust what it says? Have you ever been tempted to visit a psychic? Do you think psychics can really predict the future? Explain.

I don't read my horoscope daily but I will read it once in a while. I really don't trust what it says but I find it kind of interesting to see what they say and what they predict about. I have not been tempted to visit a psychic because i don't think they are really able to predict what is in your future and things like that.

Do you read your horoscope daily? Do you trust what it says? Have you ever been tempted to visit a psychic? Do you think psychics can really predict the future? Explain.
I donot read my horoscope everydayy. I used to at some point but it never came trueee. I have been tempted but i don't do it because i'm scared to of what's it's going to tell mee. i think they can somewhat tell the futuree, like it depends on the person and how they look at things.

Virgo.

I do not read my horoscope daily,I am really not into the whole superficial stuff. Sometimes I believe what I am being told but then again it is common sense like how it says things aren't the best but it'll soon be okay' and it's like okay i even knew that. I wouldnt be able to go to a psychic they kind of creep me out on how they 'know things', so for me to visit one I would be somewhat paranoid and feel a little awkward. I think certain people can predict the furture but then again, you letting that person know their future it can easily be changed.

-_______-

I don't read my horoscope everyday, but every now and then when I tend to get bored or it simply pops out in my yahoo I do look up mine.I don't tend to not try and believe what the horoscope says but some there is times where I think twice because at times my horoscope says something that I am going through. I'm very tempted to visit a psychic, I'm really curious on what they might tell me but I'm terrified to hear it if it is something bad although it might not even be true because I don't know whether to believe in all that nonsense. I honestly can't say if the psychic can predict my future because I don't know what they are capable of, a lot of people say it is true that they can but that you can get cursed and blah blah and some say its all B.S, so honestly I can't answer that :/

"I see....you being sad, but dont worry you'll be happy again" -___-DUH!

I don't read my horoscope daily think that actually kind of creepy and desperate (sorry for those who do :o) but I do read them when im bored or theyre like in a magazine. I dont trust them but there's times when its like freakishly accurate. Then I think, no its all bologna becuase there are millions and millions of people and theyre basing it on the stars for a million people with one specific horoscope, makes no sense and sometimes, honestly the things it says are so stupid. I'm very tempted to visit one, and I will soon. I was going to last year but my supersticious Mexican mom says its the worst luck if you do it before you 18
(weirdo). Who knows, there are a lot of unexplainable things in this world and I think psychics, fortune tellers, and people who talk to the dead are some of those "unexplainables".

D:

No, I don't read my horoscopes daily, but every now and then when I get bored I tend to look up mine on Yahoo. I'm very superstitious, and I sometimes trust what it says depending on what it contains. I don't use it for the future as much as I use it for the past to see how accurate it was. I've always wanted to go see a psychic, it's been my dream, but my mom is against it and would never let me. :( I'm not going to say they can predict the future, but it could be possible. Hispanics, or at least the ones I know, tend to have a 6th sense to them. My aunt had a dream of my grandpa crying really bad and it turned out that one of my close uncles in Mexico was in a motorcycle accident or every time my mom dreams of her teeth falling, there's a death in the family. :O

I don't read my horoscope daily or even monthly, maybe just once a year when I see something that catches my eye. Though from what I have read I don't believe everything they say to be 100%, though I do feel some of things can be related to my personality and who I am. Other times its like wow that doesn't describe me at all. I have never been tempted to see a psychic, though I do believe that there are some people who can see into the future. But I wouldn't want to know because it take away from life experiences or learning from mistakes. Your having your life story being handed to you n the matter of seconds, plus you don't know the exacts day and time when it will all set into place and you might depend on it.

IDK!! :{

No I do not, but my friend has read mines to be on several occasion. I thought for a minute, like maybe that is true. But then something always happen where I don't believe in it. I have been tempted to see one, thinking maybe what he or she says will actually be true. But then when I try for the one online they always want to charge money, so I reconsider doing it. They probably can predict the future but you never know whether or not what there telling you is true, unless you believe in them or trust them.

Do you read your horoscope daily? Do you trust what it says? Have you ever been tempted to visit a psychic? Do you think psychics can really predict the future?

 Reading my horoscope is something I do, but not on a daily basis. Sometimes I feel curious and I go on and check what it has to say. Personally I think horoscopes can be true,I do trust some, only when their good! :)  When they say something negative might happen I ignore them and pretend they were never read by me. I have experienced reading one saying something was going to happen and it never did, after that I stopped reading it for a loooooong while. I was pretty upset :/ Visting a psychics is something I would love to do! In fact I asked my mom if she can take me to one and she always responds by saying that im crazy :O I would be scared to, because it might have some scary consequences and some psychics could be really weird looking. Im not 100% sure if what they say is right, I mean it might but WHO KNOWS IF THEY ARE JUST LYING!
