What was the meaning of 'Be innocent of the knowledge dearest chuck Till thou applaud the deed' in Act 3 of 'Macbeth'?
In Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 45-46, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] said, 'Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,/Till thou applaud the deed'. He made this statement to his wife [b. c. 1015] in reference to the murderous fate in store for Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance. The significance of the statement was Macbeth's planning something heinous on his own, without his usual collaboration from start to finish with Lady Macbeth.

Macbeth is hiding his plan to kill Banquo from his wife. He thinks it will make a nice surprise for her: "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest Chuck, 'till thou applaud the deed." As much as I have often thought so, this line does not show that Lady Macbeth's given name is Charles.
What does it mean 1.Be innocent of the knowledge dearest chuck Till thou applaud the deed2.Gentle my lord sleek o'er your rugged looks.Be bright and jovial to night among your guests.?
These are two quotes from two different scenes of Macbeth. In the first, Macbeth is thinking out loud about his plan to assassinate Banquo. Lady Macbeth overhears and asks him about it. Macbeth wants to keep his plan secret so he asks that his wife be "innocent of the knowledge" (of his plans) but not to worry because she will see that when his plan is completed (Banquo killed) that they will be better off, so she will "applaud the deed", so to say. In the second, Macbeth is anxious over his plans to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth can see this and asks him to "sleek o'er your rugged looks". The rugged looks represent Macbeth's obvious anxiety on his face. Sleeking it over is then removing that. This way, no one will suspect that anything is wrong. If Macbeth visibly frets, he will put his guests, including Duncan ill at ease. The more relaxed everyone is, the easier it will be for Macbeth to assassinate Duncan.

The lines suggest a call for a deceptive appearance; the speaker advises someone to feign ignorance about certain actions ("be innocent of the knowledge") until they can celebrate the outcome ("applaud the deed"). Additionally, the speaker encourages the addressee to soften their demeanor and present a cheerful front despite their true feelings, creating a contrast between inner turmoil and outward cheerfulness at a gathering. This reflects themes of disguise and the complexities of human emotion often found in literature.
