What does whose horrid image doth unfix my hair mean?
This is a quote from Macbeth, Act 1 Scene 3. "If good, why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock against my ribs against the use of nature." Macbeth is trying to decide if the witches' prediction that he will be king is a good thing or not. The prediction about him becoming Cawdor came true; that seems good. But this sentence describes why it does not seem good. It puts a suggestion in his brain, a suggestion he does not describe or explain except to say what its effect on him is, but a suggestion which we can guess to be the idea that he could be king if he killed Duncan. The "horrid image" he is talking about is the image of himself killing Duncan, the imaginary picture of what is suggested by that suggestion. Then he describes what seeing that imaginary picture does to him. It "doth unfix my hair". "Doth" is just an old spelling of "does". Permit yourself a giggle if you imagine that Macbeth's hair falls off at the thought, but "unfix" means "put out of place" here, so means that his hair is standing on end. In the rest of the sentence, his heart is knocking against his ribs, "against the use of nature", or unnaturally. Therefore the sentence as a whole means something like, "If this prediction is so good, why do I keep thinking about that imaginary picture that makes my hair stand on end and makes my heart unnaturally knock against my ribs." While "it makes my hair stand on end" may be common or easily understood, it is more compact and more interesting to say "it doth unfix my hair."
Whose idea was it to murder Duncan in Macbeth?
The prophecy that Macbeth will be king puts the idea of murdering Duncan into both Macbeth's head and Lady Macbeth's. Before he even writes to her Macbeth says to himself, "why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair" and later, "let not light see my black and deep desires." She doesn't give him the idea. On the other hand, Macbeth does not put even the whiff of a suggestion into his letter that he has thought about murder, and Lady M says "Thou art too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way." She is thinking murder, but is afraid he isn't. Macbeth would have talked himself out of it, however, if Lady M had not pressured him into turning the idea of murder (which they both had) into reality.
