Macbeth Act 2 Notes

• Fleance is Banquo's son
•  Banquo can't sleep and Macbeth is awake (they have a conversation about witches prophesies)
• Macbeth has a vision of the dagger in front of him, vision shows that he is uncertain of killing the king but continues with the plan
• Lady Macbeth imagines Macbeth killing Duncan and she heard him cry out and is scared he failed but doesn't understand how he could because she set everything out perfectly for him, says she should have killed the king herself
• Macbeth comes back and says he's killed the king, but still has dagger and fears chamberlains might have woken. Lady Macbeth takes dagger back
• Macbeth heard knocking and even when Lady Macbeth comes back he hears it again, it was the porter
• Macbeth enters and asks Macduff where king is and Macduff says he still sleeping so Macbeth offers to take him to him
• Macduff comes running back saying king has been murdered and Macbeth an Lennox run to look
• Lady Macbeth is hysterical and eventually faints
• Foreshadowing: an owl killed a falcon and Dancuns horses that were well trained were acting wildly and ate one another before all this
• Macduff enters and says Macbeth has been made king by other lords and is on his way to Scone to be crowned
• Macduff also tells them the chamberlains probably were paid to kill Duncon and people are suspicious of two kings Malcolm and Donalbain because they fled the scene
