Macbeth
What is the general atmosphere in Macbeth Act 1?
It would be great to have an explanation and some quotes to justify it.

There are quite a few things that happen in act one. I would say the general atmosphere is pensive and full of conflicting emotion. Macbeth spends much of the time obsessing about murdering the king. He wants to be king but his motivation began with the witches suggestions: and witches are evil!
