Banquo had two reactions to the news of the death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. In Act 2 Scene 3 Lines 81-83, he characterized the killings as so cruel as to hope that Macduff was mistaken. In Act 3 Scene 1 Line 3, he considered the royal killing the foul work of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057].

Lady Macbeth becomes faint and is slowly driven mad as a consequence of Duncan's death. It is likely that Lady Macbeth was not prepared for the consequences of the actions she initially encouraged.
