She is very specific about the details of the town and the date/time/place which is the same exact every single year in the village. there are specific rules that take place each year for the lottery. that everyone stops everything that they are doing and they go to the center of town. that they are a little bit nervous but that people are still joking somewhat. and then all of this makes the ending such a surprise because you don't think that the ending will be about murder

1) <span>Banquo and Macbeth enter. Banquo addresses the witches--they do not look like normal inhabitants of the earth and have beards. They in turn hail Macbeth as Thane of Glamis, then Thane of Cawdor, finally as future king. Banquo wonders why Macbeth starts at their words, and asks what they would prophecy for him, though he is less concerned than Macbeth with what they have to say: "If you can look into the seeds of time / And say which grain will grow and which will not, / Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear / Your favors nor your hate."

2)</span><span>Back in Scotland, at </span>Macbeth's<span> castle in Dunsinane, a doctor waits with one of Lady </span>Macbeth's<span> gentlewomen. They're keeping an eye out for Lady </span>Macbeth's<span> sleepwalking, which the gentlewoman reported began once </span>Macbeth<span> left to prepare the house for battle.

3)</span><span>Yes, because some people's lives are living tragedies. Sure, times and living conditions aren't as hard as they used to be for most, but some people invite tragedy into their lives and some poor souls seem to be cursed with it. One person that comes to mind is Jackie Hance, whose drunk sister-in-law murdered Jackie's three young girls.

In My opinion i think he was right, plus it was his work anyways. Destroying things can be fun. "the urge to destroy is also a creative urge". Some people destroy things for fun, some people destroy things because they're mad, but him/her did it because they didnt want there art to be for sale.
