Inverness

=Inverness=



This castle is a key setting throughout the play. Pivotal events have occurred here. After Macbeth was named Thane of Cawdor, a party was held at Inverness in his honor. Duncan's murder happens in the castle while he was sleeping and the guards were drugged by Lady Macbeth. Most of the characters found out about his death in the yard of the castle as well. Macbeth ordered peasants to murder Banquo, his former companion, outside of the castle gates. He even told the few men who actually did the killing that Banquo was their enemy and the reason why they held such unimportant places in society at the castle too. The night of Banquo's death, Macbeth claims his ghost is sitting at the table during a dinner with many of the other characters. Obviously, this dinner where he repeatedly "saw" the ghost of Banquo, also took place in Inverness.
