How does Macbeth and lady Macbeth behave righ after duncans murder?

Answer 1

The change in their relationship is most apparent in Act III Scene 2. In the first Act, Lady M was Macbeth's "partner in greatness", to whom he told everything that the witches had said to him and to Banquo. They worked together, but she wore the pants. She is the one who overrides Macbeth's decision to "proceed no further with this business". She begins to see a change when, without consulting her, Macbeth decides to kill the grooms. By III, 2, when she asks him "What's to be done?" he replies "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed." He won't even tell her what he is planning any more. She is kept in ignorance and has no control over him.

Answer 2

After Duncan's murder, Macbeth becomes anxious and guilt-ridden, while Lady Macbeth remains calm and pragmatic. Macbeth is overwhelmed with guilt and begins to hallucinate, while Lady Macbeth reassures him and takes control of the situation by trying to cover up the crime and frame the guards for the murder.

Answer 3

Macbeth appears to be furious, and while in this out-of-control state he kills the grooms. "Oh, I do repent me of my fury that I did kill them." Of course this was just a calculated pose to allow him to bump off two important witnesses. Macduff sees this and questions Macbeth's actions. Macbeth has a plausible explanation however.

Lady Macbeth's mild "What! in our house!" sounds the wrong note altogether. It sounds as if she is saying, "Oh, what a mess! Think of the cleaning bills!". Banquo picks up on this and rebukes her, saying "Too cruel anywhere."

Answer 4

Lady Macbeth is very confident with the idea of killing King Duncan, whereas Macbeth is very doubtful about it.

Answer 5

Lady Macbeth is way bossy and Macbeth is rattled. Is this different from the way they were before? Not much.
