Hecate is angry with the witches because of what they have done –       And which is worst ,all you have done.

Act 3 scene 4

I This scene the lords go to have dinner at the banqueting hall with Macbeth and lady Macbeth . As they had dinner Banquo’s ghost appeared and Macbeth was the only one who could see him . The lords thought that he was acting really weird . Also Macbeth has a word with the murderer alone and the murderer said “my lord , his throat is cut ; that I did for him ” .and also said ” most royal sir , Fleance is escaped “.

Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost at an important banquet and freaks out during the banquet.

  1. It will have blood they say , blood will have blood.

Blood = murder -metaphor

why would you use the word blood instead of murder?

Because its more direct and it adds more enthusiasm.

which is more effective? = blood because the word is more

This mean’s that Macbeth is trying to change something important – trying to go back in time to stop something from happening.

2) I am on blood step’d in so far that should I wade no more , returning were as tedious as go o’er.

i think he’s trying to say that he went to far and now he’s ashamed and he doesn’t want to proceed.
