My Dagger Scene

In act 2 scene 1 lines 32-65 of the book Macbeth, I would direct that scene in my own way. Just a little different than Shakespeare did. I would have the dagger in the scene but the only person able to see it would be Macbeth. The reason for this is because I would want the audience to know that Macbeth was insane.  I would want the audience to think that the reason for killing Duncan was because of that dagger that he thought was there before him. The people around Macbeth when the dagger scene is filmed, they would think that he was mad because he’s freaking out over this dagger dripping with blood that only he can see. I would want the audience to feel and have the same reaction as I did when I watched the movie. I was confused to as why the dagger was there in the first place but that is what made me more interested in watching more. That scene is a really important part in the play and I think that it should catch people's eye and that the audience would know for a fact that Macbeth was insane. Which is the reason why I would direct the play as only Macbeth being able to see the blood dripping dagger.
