Macbeth hallucinates Banquo’s ghost at the state dinner. Describe the ghost’s appearance.

In the words of Macbeth, the ghost is described as marrowless bones, cold blooded, "has no speculation in [the] eyes".

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the success and tragic downfall of Macbeth. The play delves into the themes of loyalty, self-interest, greed, and betrayal.

In Act III scene iv, Macbeth and the nobles were at a state dinner where the ghost of Banquo appeared to him. While everyone's unaware of the ghost, Macbeth clearly saw the ghost, which led Lady Macbeth to make excuses for her husband as "hallucinations". But to Macbeth, the ghost is as clear as day. He addressed it, saying "Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold. Thou hast no speculation in those eyes Which thou dost glare with!"

Through Macbeth's dialogue, we can assume that Banquo appears horrific and repulsive.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
