Macbeth : Act IV

What additional information does Macbeth learn from the Witches?

The Witches give Macbeth much additional information. They tell him to beware of Macduff and the Thane of Fife. They also boost his self confidence tremendously. They tell him that no one born of a woman can hurt him and that he won't be defeated until the forest moves. When Macbeth asks if Banquo's descendants will really be kings he gets disturbed by the answer that they all will be!

Do you see any change in Macbeth in his murder of Lady Macduff?

Macbeth seems to be getting more careless with his murders. At first he was very cautious, second guessing all of his moves and having everything planned out. With Banquo he almost gave himself away when he saw Banquo's ghost. Now its like he kills everything in sight and has not explanation or motive besides the Witches who are just tricking him to get him into trouble.

What is your reaction or thoughts about the Witches cauldron scene?
