Examples of Appearance vs. Reality in Macbeth (as a paper topic)


I have found some so far -

Act I Scene iii - Witches have beards but are women

Act II Scene i - Macbeth sees a dagger in front of him, but can not touch it.

Act II - Lady Macbeth seems bloodthirsty, but cannot kill Duncan. Macbeth seems scared of the whole ordeal, but kills the king and the guards.

Act V - Lady Macbeth sees blood on her hands that no one else can see - obviously it is not there and her view of reality is skewed.

If anyone can find any others, please help!!! Thanks 8-)
