How have Macbeth and Lady Macbeth reversed roles by the end of the play
In Act 1, Lady Macbeth is the planner, the one who is dragging

Macbeth commits murder after murder and Lady Macbeth is the

What reason does Macbeth give for ordering the murder of Banquo and his son
The reason he tells the murderers is not the same as the one he
tells himself. To himself, he says that he is afraid that people
will think that Banquo might make a better king than he is, and get
rid of him to put Banquo on the throne. He talks about the witches'
prophecy that Banquo's descendants will be kings but forgets all
about the one which says that Banquo himself will never be king. So
he is going to kill Fleance because of the witches' prophecy and
kill Banquo in spite of it. The reason he gives the murderers is
vague: that Banquo is his enemy. He does not explain why, but it is
suggested that it involves the kind of wrongs the murderers are
said to have suffered at Banquo's hands.
