Even though Banquo challenges the three witches, they address Macbeth and give him the prophecy. Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor and then King of Scotland. Macbeth and Banquo had just come off the battlefield after having just defeated the allied forces of Norway and Ireland. He was stunned and thought it was just something they literally cooked up. Rubbish, tosh, pish. No way. There had been thunder and lightning. He probably thought he had heard incorrectly. He couldn't even reply, he was too stunned, so Banquo challenges the witches again. They tell Banquo he will father a line of kings, but he himself will never be a king. Now they are both speechless. The witches disappear, then Ross, the Kings messenger arrives and tells Macbeth the King has given him another title: Thane of Cawdor!

OMG! The prophecy is coming true! Now Macbeth seriously thinks becoming king is very possible.

1. I thought the thunder of battle and sky rattled my hearing. The echos of the dying muddled my brain. It could not be, It is impossible, King Duncan is my kinsman, his rule is just and fair! That traitor Macdonwald has caused our great king much despair. For Thane of Cawdor I can settle. But King Duncan is in good health and still strong.

2, When Thane Ross told of King Duncan bestowing the title of Thane of Cawdor upon my shoulders I thought, so soon the prophecy is set in motion. When will I become king? It's happening. Will King Duncan be struck down by illness, or a sword in battle. What will be his end? I must tell my dear Lady this news, so she can prepare!

Will this help you along? I really have no idea what question 2 was, so I improvised.

what are u n about?

Even if I were going to do your homework, and even if you had posted your entire question, I could not describe how YOU felt or what YOU heard.

You are going to have to do this.
