 Studying Macbeth. Here's how you can analyse everyone's reaction in Act 2, scene 3, when they realise King Duncan has died. Macbeth enters and asks Macbeth if the King has woken up. Macbeth pretends that he hasn't and he offers Macbeth to take him to his room. Lennox notices the weather that night was really bad and he uses pathetic fallacy here to highlight that something unnatural may have happened. Macbeth discovers King Duncan's dead body and repetition in this exclamatory sentence shows that he is aghast at what he's seen. Macbeth uses religious language to describe King Duncan's death. This language relates to divine rite of kings. God's own representative on earth has now been killed. Lady Macbeth enters and pretends to be really shocked by all this commotion. Macbeth responds in ibeck metameter hair and he believes she's too fragile to handle this news. Lennox then says he thinks the gods killed King Duncan because he found them covered in blood. Lady Macbeth then further distracts them by pretending to faint. King Duncan's sons are sceptical so they decide to run away to England and Ireland.
