Macbeth Act 1 Reading Journal

Based on reading this poem, I would like to say that this was a start of becoming a good poem. On Act 1, Scene 1, it talked about the three witches about to meet Macbeth despite  thunder and lightning. The witches said that they will meet Macbeth ''when the battle's lost and won'' and when ''fair is foul and foul is fair. On Act 1, Scene 2, King Duncan confront a captain that was returning from battle. He was describing Macbeth's attack on the castle of Macdonwald, in which Macbeth was very successful on doing that. Ross and Angus enter with breaking news that The Thane of Cawdor has joined forces with Norway. Scene 3 talk about how Banquo and Macbeth repeating what the witches had told him and once he was named the Thane of Cawdor, he realized that this is actually real. Scene 4 is dealing with King Duncan  and he wanted to know if the former Thane of Cawdor has been executed. He also praised his two sons for thir loyalty and bravery. In the rest of the scene, Lady Macbeth read a letter from Macbeth that describes his meeting with the witches. This is where she started making all of the preparations for the king's visit and next murder. And on Scene 7, Lady Macbeth and his husband kill King Duncan despite him being drunk and they will blame the two bodyguards for his murder since they were drunk too.  This Act is only the beginning of what happened next, so Act 2 would be excited to read.
