Answer 1

Answer:

1. Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had more reasons for not killing King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] than for carrying out the killing. For example, he owed the King respect as the beneficiary of honors and titles; and as cousin, host, and subject.
2. King Duncan Pays Macbeth a Visit:
3. He has protected Scotland and killed a rebel. He is rising in the ranks among the king's closest advisors. Macbeth has grand plans, and the king plays right into them.
4. Lady Macbeth says this line and she is reffering to Macbeth when she says this. She is saying that Macbeth has to pretend to be Duncan's friend in order to invite him to his place for a party, but he is infact luring him into a trap to kill him
5. In her last appearance, she sleepwalks in profound torment. She dies off-stage, with suicide being suggested as its cause when Malcolm declares that she died by "self and violent hands."
