Why does Macbeth claim to fear no fear?

Answer 1

Macbeth does not fear death because of the apparitions' predictions. The first one tells him to beware of Macduff, but the second apparition tells him that he should not fear any man born of a woman (Macduff was "untimely ripped from his mother's womb"...in other words, his mother had a c-section. The third apparition tells him that he will not be killed until Great Birnam wood moves 25 miles from its location to Forres (the rebels use branches to disguise themselves while they march to Forres, so it looks as if the whole forest is moving!), so Macbeth thinks that he has absolutely no reason to fear because he sees 2 of these things as impossible. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Macbeth claims to fear no fear because his ambition and desire for power have consumed him, making him believe he is invincible. This false sense of security is driven by his overwhelming desire to maintain his position as king, causing him to become more ruthless and less aware of the consequences of his actions.

Answer 3

She is afraid of the deed. That's why she asks the spirits to "unsex her"( which means to make her more manly with less womanly emotions that could hold her back from going on with the crime). In a way you could say that she was hesitant to do the deed as she said that she couldn't kill the king since he looked too much like her father, but she was not afraid.

Answer 4

He hears the shrieks of women (as they discover that Lady Macbeth is dead) and it doesn't bother him slightly. "I have forgot the taste of fear", he muses. This is not a good thing, and he knows it.

Answer 5

Not by the end. There is nothing left of life for him to enjoy, so he might as well die. "Blow wind! Come wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back!"
