In Act 3: Scene 2, Lady Macbeth says, "'Tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy." Macbeth says, "Better be with the dead, whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace, than on the torture of the mind to lie in restless ecstasy."

What are they both communicating?

• It is worth it to murder for the sake of advancement

• It is safer to destroy those that are in your way than wait for them to torture you

• It is better to be the person who was murdered than to be the murderer and live in anxiety

• It is best to destroy all evidence of a crime in order to live in peace and in absence of mental anguish
