Act 2 Macbeth Questions

1. I believe that she is very much a cold blooded murder. The reason is not only did she force her husband to do it, she also felt no remorse for her horrible deed.

"Dont brood so much." pg. 71

"Coward! Give me the daggers! Sleeping and dead people are like pictures of themselves. Only children fear a picture, even of the devil. If he's still bleeding, ill smear the faces of his servants so it will look as if they did it." pg. 73

2. She faints in act two to basically act like she really cant believe what happens and to hide her true feelings on the subject. So its basically to draw away suspicion from her and Macbeth.

"who could hold back, that had a loving heart and the courage to show it?" pg. 85

"Look after the lady." pg. 85

3. I can tell that he is very remorseful and he has a slight sense of regret toward his deed. The reason is because now he says he gets visions and horrible nightmares. He says he begins to hear and see things.

"Wake Duncan with your knocking. I wish you could." pg. 75

"Wheres that knocking? Whats happening to me, that every noise I hear scares me? Whose hands are these? Theyre plucking my eyes out...." pg. 73

4. I feel it is so that if he were to got caught, then she would have someone to blame and frame it on. Because she doesnt want the benefits of being the queen to go away, she makes macbeth do the dirty work. Also, she states that Duncan looks like her father and she couldnt bring herself to do such a horrible deed.

"If Duncan hadn't looked like my father in his sleep, I'd have done it myself." pg. 69


5. I think that he must kill the kings two sons. The reason is because in historic times, kingship and royalty would go down the legacy until there is no one in the family to take their place. So since the two princes are still alive, he must kill them.
