Task three act 2.1

What do you think the dagger represents?

In the soliloquy of act 2 scene 1 macbeth claims to be seeing a palpable dagger before him “is this a dagger which I see before me”  macbeth comes to the conclusion that the dagger is a hulusination “a false creation proceeding from the heat oppressed brain?” when macbeth reaches out for it he can’t grab it he then believes that his mind is trying to lead him to a different conclusion “though Marshall’sy me the way that I was going” he considers this fonominom, but I don’t think macbeth trusts the vision of the dagger because he says “wither’d murder alarm’d by his sentinel,  the Wolf, whose how’s his watch” I think this means that the sentinel, the Wolf,  would call out to try and revile macbeth,  but the bell rings and macbeth says “I go the bell invites me. hear it not duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or hell”so I think this means that macbeth is going to kill the king. therefore I think the dagger represents king duncans death.
