Double Double Toil and Trouble

Slimy bugs, smelly feet
Ear wax and yellow teeth
Fingernails, a pair of old socks
Old chewed gum, the tail of a fox
Dog puke, lice in your hair
Last week's garbage, things that are not fair
Used and dirty toothbrush, your face getting a smack
Mud in your shoes, and hair on your back

Act III: Story Time

Three magical witches told Macbeth that he would be a king one day. So Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth decided that they were going to do whatever it took to become the King and Queen of a place called Scotland. They made the king of Scotland disappear, and they didn't want anyone to find out. If someone found out what they had done, they would not ever be able to become the King and Queen.

Ever since the King had disappeared, many weird things had been happening. When the sun was supposed to be out, the moon was out instead. Everything was backwards and not the way it was supposed to be. One day, Macbeth's best friend found out what Macbeth and his wife had done. And he also knew why they did it. Banquo knew about the three magical witches and what they had said to Macbeth. Now, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth had to make Banquo dissapear. How would they make Banquo disappear without having all of Scotland think that they made the king disappear too?

Greek Mythology

“Approach the chamber and destroy your sight/ With a new Gorgon…”

What Macduff is saying, is that Macbeth should do what Poseidon did to Medusa. He should take one of the most loved people in the land and turn him into someone everyone could hate. Or just kill him. By doing this, Macbeth will finally be king.
