Answer 1

Macbeth corresponded with his wife through a letter, telling of the witches predictions. We are given the impression she tries to contact the darker realm or most certainly uses references to them.

I believe she is responsible for Duncan's death, as we can tell later on, Macbeth is not right in the head. We are told he has seizures/fits at the banquet, and he hallucinates (in those times this would probably be taken as being possessed by an evil spirit). Lady Macbeth almost manipulates Macbeth to take action on the witches words.

This is my opinion anyway, email me:

Answer 2

Lady Macbeth has to take some of the responsibility fo r Duncan's death. She is really pleased when she finds out that Duncan is coming to stay at their home. She encourages Macbeth to kill Duncan and calls him a coward when he has second thoughts. 'When you durst do it, then you were a man!' She tells him how to kill him and deals with the daggers when Macbeth brings them out of Duncan's chamber. So, although she didn't actually stab him, she made sure that Macbeth did. She even says that she would have done it herself, if Duncan hadn't reminded him of her father while he was sleeping.

Answer 3

Macbeth did the homicide, yet i might say that lady Macbeth is likewise at fault by skill of certainty she might have accomplished it had she now no longer chickened out. She saved pressuring Macbeth to do it, and particularly Macbeth basically fulfilled the witches' prophecy.

Answer 4

she was involved but not directly. macbethe killed duncan. but she made it look like someone else had done it by covering the guards in blood and also giving them the murder weapons in their hands
