  1. Use Sparknote's No Fear Shakespeare.


  2. How can u not get that?

  3. Lady Macbeth is putting her husband down.  She is saying;

    Only children are afraid of scary pictures. If Duncan bleeds I'll paint the servants' faces with his blood. We must make it seem like they're guilty.

  4. From memory I think he's plotting the death of Duncan the king and expaining it to his wife.

    He intends to make the crime look as though it were committed by his attendants -can't remember their two names.

    EDIT: I think Kelvin C has got it the right way round and I have got it the wrong way round. My memory is playing tricks. I last read Macbeth in 1982.

  5. Seems perfectly strightforward to me.
