Macbeth has schizophrenia. It doesn’t have to be said that he is crazy because he wants to murder people. Not only does he want to murder people but when someone is murdered he acts the opposite of his wife and he freaks out. Before the murder took place he was hallucinating. Hallucinating is one of the symptoms of schizophrenia. “Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations.” For more information click here. When Macbeth was hallucinating he saw a floating dagger, not only did he see a floating dagger but it had blood on it. After he murdered Duncan he started to feel extremely anxious and he panicked, then Lady Macbeth insulted his manhood and took care of it herself. Anxiety is a symptom of the paranoid type of schizophrenia.
