Macbeth Act 2 Summary

We open to Macbeth killing Duncan, going back blood on his hands, his Wife gets mad because he brought the daggers or knifes back with him and so she took them and placed them in Duncan’s guards’ hands and whipped the blood on pillows. Then they get the blood off their hands saying, “a little water clears us of this deed”. They let Macduff and someone else in and Macbeth led them to Duncan’s chambers where while Macbeth and Macduff have a conversation about something, and the other guy comes back saying, something about the horror the horror. And telling everyone about the Kings Murder, and they play into Macbeth and his Wife’s trick that his guards did it. Macbeth almost spills some beans that he has killed the two guards, but while they are getting on Macbeth’s case, his Wife starts faking a faint from the stress. That concludes Act two, of four.
