Being confronted by his murdered victim, Macbeth loses self-control and completely ignoring his important guests, he interacts and discusses with the ghost. His distress and despair are signs that he lost control and he surrenders to his extreme guilt. Shakespeare wants to show that our evil acts will eventually come back to haunt us.
