Answer:

A variety of theories can exist on the subject ; a common hypothesis is that the third murderer is in fact Macbeth, or another character in disguise; or that third murderer is a mistake on Shakespeare’s part or an inconsistency resulting from some carelessly dropped portion of the play. Students should support their ideas with logical reasons, details from the play, and/or examples from outside experience.
