MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Why does Lady Macbeth say she could not kill Duncan herself when she went into his room?
He looked too much like her father as he lay there sleeping
He almost woke up and she had to run away
She didn't; she's the one who killed Duncan
She never went in the room
Answer explanation
This moment tells us something interesting about Lady M's character -- she's all for murder when they're just talking about it, but when she actually enters Duncan's room she can't follow through. It's foreshadowing for Act 3, when she starts to get uncomfortable with the methods she and her husband used to make him king.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What does Macbeth do to Duncan's two guards when they are discovered with the murder weapons?
He kills them both before anyone can ask them any questions.
He arrests them and throws them in the dungeon.
Answer explanation
This moment in the play is important -- Macbeth is trying to frame the two guards for Duncan's murder, but killing them is a mistake. When Macbeth kills the guards before anyone can question them about Duncan's death, it makes other characters (like Macduff) question Macbeth's motives.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
1 min • 1 pt
How does Macbeth plan to kill his best friend Banquo and Banquo's son, Fleance?
He plans to sneak into their rooms at night and stab them
He hires two criminals to follow Banquo and his son and kill them
He tells Lady Macbeth to kill them, since she chickened out with Duncan
He doesn't kill Banquo and Fleance
Answer explanation
When Macbeth hires the two criminals to kill Banquo and Fleance, he talks them into it using the same tactics Lady Macbeth used on him when they were plotting to kill Duncan. He says they are like dogs -- not real men -- but they can become brave and manly if they kill Banquo and his son. Like his wife, Macbeth uses manipulation to drive these men to murder, preying on their insecurities and fears.
