Best Answer

Macbeth is dazed and confused after committing the murder. Lady M has to take the daggers back into the bedroom and smear the sleeping grooms with blood herself. She then pushes Macbeth toward their room so he can get into his nightie and look like he was sleeping when the murder happened.

She drugs their booze with a sleeping drug (a narcotic, one supposes) so they sleep through the murder.

Who did macduff believe bribed the guards to kill the king?

No one bribed the two royal guards in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. Instead, Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] gave them drugged drinks. The guards passed out from their drinking and drugging. They couldn't save their sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], or themselves from being stabbed to death.

What is Macbeth reasons or motivation for killing duncan?

In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Act 1, Scene 7, Macbeth reviews all of the reasons why he should not kill King Duncan. He had come into Macbeth's home as a guest. He was related to Macbeth, who was his cousin. He was Macbeth's sovereign. Additionally, he was beloved and respected by the people of Scotland. King Duncan had given diamonds to Lady Macbeth, and the title and properties of the disgraced Thane of Cawdor to Macbeth. The honors that he had bestowed upon Macbeth had brought Macbeth to the attention of important people.There were many reasons not to kill King Duncan. The only reason why he would want to do it was that he was the king's cousin, and the best person to succeed him as king. However, as Macbeth himself concludes, a naked lust for power wasn't a good reason at all. He just wasn't that ambitious. Unfortunately for him, his wife was that ambitious and was also very persuasive.
