Who is fearful of devine punishment because he can't say amen in Macbeth?

Answer 1

At this point int the play, Macbeth has just committed a terrible crime: murder.

Back in those days, Catholicism was big, and "Amen" was like a nice little blessing to finish off a prayer.

We know that Macbeth eventually goes mad over what he has done, and this is where it may have begun. He is so ashamed of the terrible thing he has done, that he believes himself to be undeserving of the blessing of the word "Amen".

Murder, being a disgrace to God, would have been almost unforgivable in those days.

I also absoloutly freakin love chocolate icing on a chocolate caramel and custard cake. Like sereals WOW!

Answer 2

To the people he has murdered (Duncan and the guards). As the sons of Duncan are finishing off a prayer, he cannot speak of the word because Catholicism was a major thing back in the days and murder was unforgivable. Therefore, he was unable to say "Amen".

Answer 3

Lady Macbeth is fearful of divine punishment because she cannot say "Amen" after the murder of King Duncan in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. She feels that her guilt and conscience prevent her from speaking the holy word.

Answer 4

Macbeth.
