Is Jason from the Sound and the Fury represented in the quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth?
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing" (V.v in Macbeth).
This whole soliloquy can relate to each and every single character in the novel. For example, "A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more" could refer to Quentin's story because he is constantly obsessed with time before he commits suicide and is "heard no more." Jason could be represented by "full of sound of fury" because throughout his section, he conveys a lot of anger.
Because macduff harbors suspicions about the person who actually murderd King Duncan, therefore he turnes against Macbeth and consequently was absent from his coronation. Macbeth organises to kill her for revenge and also to set a distraction to protect himself from an enraged Macduff.

What is the effect of Duncan's words in scene 6?
Duncan comes across as a kind and grateful monarch who has genuine affection for Macbeth. His praise of his castle and gratitude for their hospitality shows irony since he will never leave Macbeth palace and will be murdered by his "hosts". His words accentuate the villainy of the murderous duo.
What is Macbeths character flaw?
Your teacher will probably say "ambition" but he or she is only parroting generations of teachers. Indeed the idea that people have "character flaws" which determine their characters is a very superficial treatment of how people operate. People are motivated by many factors, some of which come to the fore in reaction to certain stimuli, and some of which contradict each other. In Macbeth's case, he is bullied and cajoled into murdering Duncan by his wife. You might say that his flaw is that he is controlled by his wife, except that, from the moment he commits the murder, she no longer controls him. At that point he becomes paranoid and fearful and, once having crossed the line and having committed murder, there is nothing to prevent him from committing ever more horrific crimes as the play goes on.
What does MacDuff compare Duncan to?
Macduff compares Duncan's body to a temple. Lord Macduff is the person who kills Macbeth at the end of the play.
Does Macbeth have a legitimate right to the throne?
This is a somewhat disputed issue. According to the traditional Scottish method of selecting successors to a king, called tanistry, the new king was elected from the late king's close relatives. We see a reflection of this practise in this conversation in Act 2 Scene 4: "Then 'tis most like the sovereignty will fall on Macbeth" "He is already named, and gone to Scone to be invested." In such a system, Macbeth would have had a reasonable expectation of being king, because he was Duncan's first cousin, very closely related. Indeed he seems to be somewhat surprised when Duncan names Malcolm Prince of Cumberland (thus nominating him as the tanist or successor).
Some historians think that tanistry had already been overtaken by primogeniture in Scotland by the time of Macbeth. If that is the case, then there would have been no surprise to Malcolm being named as Prince of Cumberland. It would explain why Macbeth says to the witches "to be king stands not in the prospect of belief." if he was only third in line to the throne, after Malcolm and Donalbain.
It might be surmised that the only reason Macbeth even considers the idea of kingship is because the witches tell him it will happen. It also might be thought that at first Macbeth believes the king will announce that his sons aren't ready, and that Macbeth should take the throne instead. But under the system of primogeniture he would have no right to do so, and under the system of tanistry the heir is elected, not chosen by the king, so Duncan would have no power to do so under this system either.
It has been noted that the play seems to celebrate a triumph of English customs over Scottish ones--Malcolm, backed by English troops, abolishes the Scottish title "Thane" and replaces it with the English one "Earl". It might be seen also that Malcolm represents the English system of primogeniture whereby the son of the last king, no matter how unworthy (and nobody can dispute that Malcolm is useless as a warrior) automatically becomes king, whereas Macbeth represents that indigenous Scottish system, based in part on merit, which primogeniture replaced.
What was Lady Macbeth unable to do in Duncan's chamber?
Lady Macbeth was unable to wash off the bloodstains she thinks are on her hands. It is generally agreed that these imaginary bloodstains are a psychological manifestation of her guilt over orchestrating the murder of King Duncan.
What opinion of Macbeth do the scottish lords now hold?
The Scottish Lords now consider Macbeth to be a tyrant, who is only concerned about his own self interest. As a result, they turn against him and await the return of Malcom, Macduff and the English troops they bring to exact revenge on him.

Why did King James ban golf in 1947?
The game of golf was banned by King James II in 1457 not 1947. The game was banned because it was becoming more popular than the national sport of archery.
Why doesn't Banquo tell everyone that he strongly suspects Macbeth of killing Duncan?
Banquo probably doen't know for sure about how Macbeth is planning on killing Duncan so he can become king. Even if Banquo did know, he is a very loyal friend to Macbeth and will keep all of his suspicions to himself.
Which is ironic, because Mabeth ends up hiring murderers to kill Banquo, which goes to show you that Macbeth really isn't that loyal.
