Macbeth concluded; 2-week vacation hiatus

Second and concluding lecture on Macbeth before two-week break: the solitude of the present moment; the only relief to that is friendship; Banquo as window, like Bullingbrook, Horatio, Kent, the Fool, and Edgar; but Macbeth murders Banquo and must not look to have friends (Seyton is his last forlorn hope), and so is lost in time, like tears in rain, time's bank and shoal eroded into dust and ashes.
