Duncan's body
Macduff says, "Oh, gentle lady, 'Tis not for you to hear what I can speak. The repetition, in a woman's ear, Would murder as it fell." What is ironic about this?
He pretended to be brave, but he really wasn't.
He sounded concerned about Lady Macbeth, but he really thought women were weak and foolish
He tried to sound upset, but he was glad the king was dead.
He didn't know about Lady Macbeth's part in the murder
Why does Ross not believe Malcolm and Donalbain were responsible for Duncan's murder?
He was with them and knows they are innocent.
It was against their personal natures and against nature as the ruling force is the universe
They know that killing their father would only provoke a fight between themselves, and one or both of them would probably be killed.
Both are too weak, cowardly, and unambitious to want to be king.
