MACBETH, LONG ANSWERS


2. How did Macbeth and his wife get the opportunity to fulfill their plan to murder Duncan? How had Lady Macbeth developed the art of camouflaging? When and why did Lady Macbeth herself take the charge to murder Duncan? How did her attempt fail?

            Returning home, Macbeth told her wife about the predictions of the three witches and also its partial accomplishment. Lady Macbeth was an extremely ambitious woman. She encouraged Macbeth and they together thought that murdering Duncan could be the only way to the fulfillment of the prophesy that Macbeth would be the king of Scotland. The opportunity itself came along. It happened that at that time Duncan came to visit Macbeth’s castle to honour Macbeth for his triumph against the rebels.

            Lady Macbeth had already thought of murdering Duncan and was looking for an opportunity. Yet while treating Duncan as an adorable hostess, she developed the art of camouflaging her treacherous purpose with smile and charming etiquette.

            Tired of his long journey king Duncan went early to bed. It was midnight when Lady Macbeth woke up to plot the murder of the king. She was well aware of her husband’s nature that was too full of milk of human kindness to execute a contrived murder. So at first, she took the charge by herself.

               
            Armed with a dagger Lady Macbeth approached the chamber where the king was sleeping. She found the king in sound sleep. As she looked at him, she found something in his face that resembled his own father. Hence, she could not proceed and gave up her attempt.

Summary of the poem "I Can Not Remember My Mother"

I Cannot Remember My Mother Rabindranath Tagore Summary: A motherless child speaks of how his overall circumstances often remind him of his mother, although he can remember neither his mother's face, nor what his mother looked like. He lost his mother when he was just an infant, yet while playing with his playthings he remembers hearing a tune that his mother used to hum while rocking his cradle. When in autumn morning the smell of shiuli flowers spreads in the air and the scent of the morning service in the temple comes floating, it reminds the child of his mother. Even when he looks up into the distant sky, it seems to him that his mother is staring at his face with her deep adorable eyes.             ***********************************
