Who was Macbeths wife?

I think it's fair to say that he did love his wife but prior to the murders, their relationship may have been strained. In a scene, lady Macbeth is talking about how she would keep promises. She mentions that she would kill their own child if she promised to do so. This suggests that they did have a child who has died. Obviously, this would strain any relationship. Also, after the murders, they don't communicate like they used to, Lady Macbeth's conscience is taking over and Macbeth is too preoccupied with the fact that he is under threat and trying to kill people who pose a threat. Thus, causing strains on their relationship.


Who would you say is the more forceful character Macbeth or lady Macbeth?

Lady Macbeth is the more forceful, probably because she is less foresighted. Macbeth knows the likely consequences of his acts, but she does not. She cannot imagine the downside to the murder; all she sees is herself as the chatelaine, hosting dinner parties. This lack of foresight gives her the strength to use everything she's got to persuade Macbeth to the murder.


What did Banquo say that Duncan gave to Lady Macbeth?

Banquo said that King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] had given a diamond to Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015]. In Act 2 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, the King was an overnight guest of the Macbeths' at Inverness Castle. Macbeth and his wife in fact had been given same-day notice of the royal visit. Macbeth's Lady nevertheless managed to have her household ready for the royal stay. She also managed to impress the King with her sensitive capabilities as a hostess.

In Macbeth based on Banquo's words what has King Duncan brought?

Well, it was an overnight party at the Macbeths' place. You'd think he probably brought a valise with a change of clothes and his toothbrush. But the text does not actually say so. In fact, the only thing we know he brought with him were a couple of servants.

He is totally guilty. You might say that Lady Macbeth is guilty for conning him into it, or the witches are guilty for making the prophecy that starts the Macbeths thinking about becoming king and queen, but Macbeth must take responsibility in the end for going along with the murder plan, even if it made no sense, and he knew it made no sense, to do so.
