In both of the acts in my scene, I am Banquo. In scene one, I start out by talking about Macbeth and the weird sisters. He starts to refer to how Macbeth's first prophecy came true, so he assumes the second prophecy to come true as well. Banquo is invited to Macbeth's feast, and he accepts the invitation. When Banquo leaves the scene, the two murderers come and Macbeth proposes the idea of murdering Banquo, and they accept.
In scene three, the murderers all gather and are waiting for Banquo's arrival. Banquo arrives with his son Fleance (who has no lines) and Banquo is murdered while Fleance escapes. Once Banquo is dead, the murderers leave the scene to tell Macbeth about what happened.

Lady Macbeth/Macbeth- Feminine vs. Masculine
I believe Lady Macbeth and Macbeth have switched gender roles. Although Macbeth is king and Lady Macbeth is his wife, Lady Macbeth acts more masculine while Macbeth acts more feminine. Lady Macbeth is more aggressive with her actions and controls almost every movement of Macbeth, until the end when he faces Macduff.
Ji was my partner and her question was..
They are not like that the whole play?
Answer: At the end he becomes more aggressive (as mentioned above)

The Rest of MacBeth
I read the rest of MacBeth. Basically, the act starts out with the witches speaking to MacBeth again. Then, Macduff runs away to England. His wife and "babies" are left at his castle. The murderers come in and kill one of Macduff's son, then his wife and all his "babies" are slain. Macduff and Malcolm then have an in depth conversation, which none of it I understood. From this point on, the scenes switch back and forth from Macduff to MacBeth, to kind of pick up where they are at. Pretty much Lady MacBeth is diagnosed insane. Macduff and MacBeth fight outside of MacBeth's castle.. MacBeth is slain by Macduff and he is the King of Scotland. The end. It was pretty good.. I remembered a lot of it, but this is a very different edition from what I read. The details are different but still the same for the most part.
