In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act III, Scene i, Macbeth speaks with only two murderers, but later there are three, and the sudden appearance of this third murderer has been a subject of much debate over the centuries. What is the explanation of the third murderer?

Respuesta :

I don't think Macbeth was the third murderer because he was at the party. The murderers also would have recognized him. I think that a hitman was hired to be the murderer. Macbeth was so paranoid I am sure he would send another guy out to go help the other two murderers.

A variety of theories can exist on the subject ; a common hypothesis is that the third murderer is in fact Macbeth, or another character in disguise; or that third murderer is a mistake on Shakespeare’s part or an inconsistency resulting from some carelessly dropped portion of the play. Students should support their ideas with logical reasons, details from the play, and/or examples from outside experience.
