Macbeth Act 4, Scene 1

Macbeth is starting to sweat a little bit. He goes to see the witches because he is nervous about his future. However, this visit doesn't make him feel very good. He is completely disgusted by the idea that Banquo's offspring will hold the crown for many generations to come. He is also thinking that Macduff is a potential threat to him, and when Lennox tells him that Macduff has fled to England he becomes even more concerned. He thinks that his life and his power are in danger. He aspires to remove anyone who poses a threat. Macbeth is very concerned about those around him. It is becoming a paranoia for him.
