4/2 Handout

1. Yes, I think that Lady MacBeth is a cold-blooded murderer because it seemed as if she wanted King Duncan more than MacBeth. She also said that she would almost do the killing herself. She is the one to have framed the two guards, too. She took blood and put it on the guards, and put the dagger back in their hands. MacBeth was very astonished when seeing the blood on his hands, that he was dazed.

2.  Lady MacBeth pretends to faint in ACT 2 because she wants to act innocent, and so that no one will suspect that she assisted in the murder. It does serve her purpose because they fell for it, and had to carry her away.

3. MacBeth feels very guilty and the blood of Duncan haunts him. He panics and worries because he realizes what he has done, and seems as if he regrets it.

4. Lady MacBeth doesn't kill Duncan because she says that he resembles her Father, when she saw him sleeping.

5.  I think that Macbeth would have to do a lot to have his reign as king. Being the king of the land is a very difficult job because you rule over the people, and you have to have authority. Also, there will be people that suspect MacBeth to kill the king himself, so there will always be someone that wants him dead.

Part Two

1. "Why did you bring the daggers with you? They must be left up there. Take them back, and smear the sleepy servants with blood."
"Coward! Give me the daggers! Sleeping and dead people are like pictures of themselves."

2. "Oh, no! What? In our house?"
"Help me, please"

3. "What's happened to me, that every noise scares me?"
"More likely my hands will stain the vast green seas blood-red."

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