Maybe yes, maybe no was the fainting spell by Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] genuine in Act 2 Scene 3 of the Shakespearean play. Playwright William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] didn't give supporting information one way or the other. So critics, readers, and viewers haven't come to uniform agreement. Additionally, the fainting spell was an aspect of the murder plot that his Lady didn't put into words for Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. She spelled out her role offering drugged drinks to the two royal guards of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. But the two didn't share with readers and viewers how they'd handle the discovery of the three bloodied corpses the following day. It would have been consistent with her ambitious, scheming and unscrupulous character in the Shakespearean play that Lady Macbeth would have planned her actions and words. There indeed was a weak point in the Macbeths' murderous plot. Macbeth stabbed the King and his two royal guards to death. The following morning, he showed Macduff to the royal guest chamber without saying anything about bloodied corpses and bloodied crime scene. He confessed to having killed the guards for having killed the King only after Macduff came back out with the grisly news.

Who seems most genuinely troubled by the death of duncan in macbeth?

Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. That sounds strange, but it is probably true. Next to them, Macduff gets very emotional when he discovers the murder, but seems to get over it quite quickly. But thoughts of Duncan haunt Macbeth who says in Act III Scene II "Duncan is in his grave. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." And Lady Macbeth cannot shake off thoughts of Duncan either; in her sleepwalking scene she says, "But who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?"

What is Macbeth doing while lady Macbeth is talking in the beginning of act 2 scene 1?

In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth is onstage and Lady Macbeth is not. I think Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5 is heading back to his castle called "Inverness" to talk to his wife (Lady Macbeth) about what happened with the witches and to come back from the war that just happened. Possibly you were thinking of Act 2 Scene 2 where she is talking and he is stabbing Duncan.
