Macbeth: "The table's full." (Line 55) "Which of you have done this?" (Line 60) This exhibits the theme because Macbeth is the only person able to see Banquo’s ghost. The others are confused about why he can't find his seat at the banquet and they are the only ones able to see the reality of the situation, while Macbeth is appearing to be delusional. Macbeth: "If I stand here, I saw him." (Line 89) Macbeth is seeing the ghost of Banquo disappear and reappear , while nobody else sees it. The ghost of Banquo is messing with Macbeth's mind, to drive him insane. Though the ghost isn't there, he still insists that it was. Making this yet another example of appearance versus reality, as Macbeth is seeing figments of his imagination while the guests are just seeing him losing his mind over an empty seat at the table. Macbeth is the main character that continues to embody this theme, only more dramatically as the play
