Macbeth starts to go crazy in this act. Banquo is still hurting about the witches premonitions, worrying through the night and losing sleep, but Macbeth has deeper troubles now.
After his Lady has dragged him into a plot of murder, Macbeth is sickened with guilt of the crime to come. Can he succomb to do a dead that would lead him to hell? Would rack his life with guilty?
Yes.
It amazes me that Macbeth could go through with something that was so against his morals at first and then pull off a blank face, a surprised expression, a both curious and horrified reaction to the murder of his king. "That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold" states Lady Macbeth in scene II; where Macbeth go crazy with guilt and lies, Lady Macbeth has her sanity stolen by something all together different. By her ambition, I once heard said, and there is definitely some hidden motive around Lady Macbeth that hasn't been revealed to us yet.
The strange occurances in nature the night of the King's death, and how it is felt by everyone around makes me think that there is something really wrong about the king dying.
In the reaction scene, when everyone finds out about Duncan's death, how can we tell who is sincere or not? When the Macbeths seems so sincere and worried in their speech....
