Act 2 notes


  • Macbeth is not in doubt. Macbeth had made up his mind and will please his wife. He will kill Duncan. It is no longer a matter of making up his mind. It never really was. He was pressured into having to make the decision of killing Duncan by Lady Macbeth
  • He goes back to Macbeth now with a troubled conscience 
  • Lady Macbeth accuses him of being a coward and plans on blaming the guards for the murder of Duncan. 
  • A knocking at their door scares Macbeth but simply startles Lady Macbeth
  •   Porter opens to Macduff and Lennox 
  • Macduff finds the dead king and alarms everyone
  • Macbeth killed the guards who were blamed for the murder of Duncan
  • Duncan's two sons flee and so suspects of ordering their father's death
  • Macbeth has gone to Scone to be crowned

  1. Seems to me like you get exactly what is going on in this act. Pretty intense if you ask me. Nicely done!
