However, I believe that a ghost is a representation of the pain, suffering, and experiences the dead leaves behind in those living. Those still living are left to deal with the effect the dead one had on them. For example in Macbeth, Macbeth is haunted by Banquo’s ghost which is merely the conscious of Macbeth Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884278901835481275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044568781581013280.post-90794979085919988662013-03-27T00:00:29.697-07:002013-03-27T00:00:29.697-07:00Whether ghosts exist or not is a question that may...Whether ghosts exist or not is a question that may never have an irrefutable answer, but undeniably, the impact of the lost ones cannot be ignored.

That is when a person starts to break down and starts to see things in their mind but think that it is real.

They presented themselves to Macbeth in the form of guilt and grief. Macbeth was a very close friend of Banquo, and Macbeth stabbed him in the back, which is why his ghost appeared to Macbeth.

For MacBeth, at one point him and Banquo were indeed friends. After allowing for evil greed to consume his actions, MacBeth ended up killing Banquo. But the apparition of Banquo's death allowed for MacBeth to forcefully face his wrongdoings.
