Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 4 of The Tragedy of
Macbeth Macbeth has just seen the ghost of Banquo
take a seat at Macbeth's celebratory coronation
banquet. Lady Macbeth takes Macbeth aside to find out
what is wrong.

Lady Macbeth. [Privately, to MACBETH.] Are you a
man?

Macbeth. Ay, and a bold one, that dare look on that
Which might appal the devil.

How does Macbeth's allusion to the devil help create
an eerie mood?

Oby suggesting that even the devil would be afraid

O by explaining that he and Lady Macbeth are the devil

O by explaining that Banquo has turned into the devil

O by suggesting that the devil is welcome at the banquet
