Banquo indicates in Scene 1 that his greatest priority is | his allegiance to Duncan |
As Lady Macbeth awaits Macbeth at the beginning of Scene 2, she is feeling | jumpy and superstitious |
The voice that calls out “Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep,” is saying that | Macbeth will never again rest with a clear conscience |
What does Macbeth suggest was the reason he could not join in the prayer of Malcolm and Donalbain that he overheard? | He was overcome with guilt and horror |
Macbeth refuses to return to leave the daggers with the servants because he | cannot bear to look again at what he has done |
The drunken porter scene serves as | comic relief, to to bring Macduff and Lennox into the action of the play, and to make the murder seem even more awful by the contrast of the mood |
Macbeth murders the king;s servants so that they cannot | claim they were framed |
Malcolm and Donalbain flee from Inverness because they | fear for their safety |
In Scene 1, Macbeth is clearly lying to Banquo when he says that he | never thinks about the witches |
In his Scene 1 solilquoy, Macbeth addresses his thoughts to | Duncan, the earth, and the dagger |
After Duncan’s murder | Macbeth is too horrified to act, and Lady Macbeth is concerned with practical matters |
When Malcolm and Donalbain disappear from Inverness, people assume that they | were involved in Duncan’s death |
