LA2 (period 7)-3/31 Handout

Part 1:

1. The relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth is one sided. Macbeth and his wife have similar opinions on certain topics, however Lady Macbeth wears the “pants in the relationship”. She is the boss in there relationship. Macbeth doesn’t really have a say in what happens.

2. Macbeth ultimately decides to kill Duncan because Lady Macbeth disliked Duncan and how he rules his kingdom. She has many thoughts about Duncan being the ruler and wants to change them and rule the kingdom for herself. Lady Macbeth ultimately tells Macbeth to kill Duncan for her because she can’t kill him herself.

3.Macbeth’s character so far through the story is very kind hearted and is a good listener. Even though Macbeth has no say in anything he still has a voice inside of him. Macbeth might look like a strong warrior, but in the inside he’s afraid of his wife.

4. Macbeth will get away with murder because his wife wants Duncan died so she will clean up the mess left behind. Lady Macbeth will soon rule Duncan kingdom, which was her plan that will succeed. However karma might come back at Lady Macbeth and soon her killing will be reveled to the public.

5. Macbeth should hide the evidence that would lead people to think that Macbeth was the killer. Make sure there is no trail leading back to Macbeth being the killer and frame the killing on someone else.
