In Act 3 Scene 4, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth invite important guests over to their dinner party to celebrate Macbeth becoming king, but things do not turn out as planned. First of all, the hostess is supposed to sit first, but instead the guests do. They invited the guests over when it was either around or past midnight instead of having dinner earlier. The murderers who killed Banquo even show up in bloody clothes to the dinner party to tell Macbeth what had happened. To make it worse, have way through the dinner Macbeth started seeing Banquo's bloody ghost which made him start yelling. None of the other guest saw the ghost of Banquo which makes them question Macbeth's sanity. Lady Macbeth tries to cover up for her husband's actions by saying that he has had fits like that since childhood and to make sure they do no get even more suspicious she sends them all home. His actions are similar to that of an unstable person in an insane asylum when they start freaking out even though nothing is there.
