The Macbeth Study Quiz

Question #1
In which country is Macbeth set?

Macbeth is set in various locations in Scotland, including Forres, Inverness, and Fife. Act 4, scene 3, however, does take place in England.

Question #2
Who is travelling with Macbeth when he first encounters the Three Witches?
a) Macduff

b) Mercutio

c) Lady Macbeth

d) Banquo

Macbeth and Banquo come across the Weird Sisters on a dark heath. We see immediately that Macbeth has a strange connection to the horrible hags, as he echoes their famous words spoken earlier in the drama: "So foul and fair a day I have not seen" (1.3.38). For full explanatory notes for this scene (1.3),

Question #3
At the beginning of the play, the Scots are at war with which country?
a) Norway

b) Prussia

c) Iceland

d) Poland

At a camp near Forres, Ross reports to King Duncan that he just came from Fife, "Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky And fan our people cold" (1.2.47). For full explanatory notes for this scene (1.2),

Question #4
Macbeth hires assassins to murder Banquo's son, named...
a) Angus

b) Ross

c) Fleance

d) Lenn

Banquo and his son, Fleance, are the intended murder victims of Macbeth. Although Banquo is assassinated, Fleance escapes. The survival of Fleance ensures that the Witches' prediction can come true. Banquo will beget future kings

Question #5
How does Lady Macbeth explain her husband's wild behavior at the banquet?
a) She tells the guests that Banquo's ghost is haunting Macbeth.

b) She tells the guests that Macbeth has had too much to drink.

c) She informs the guests that Macbeth is ill.

d) She reveals that Macbeth is overcome with grief over the death of Duncan.

Lady Macbeth explains her husband's strange behavior is the result of an illness which has plagued him since youth:
Sit, worthy friends: my lord is often thus,
And hath been from his youth: pray you, keep seat;
The fit is momentary; upon a thought
He will again be well: if much you note him,
You shall offend him and extend his passion:
Feed, and regard him not. (3.4.64)

Question #6
Who says, "There's daggers in men's smiles: the near in blood
The nearer bloody." (in 2.3)?
a) Donalbain

b) Macbeth

c) Lady Macduff

d) Fleance
Duncan's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, are not fooled by Macbeth's assertion that the guards killed their father. They know their lives are in grave danger and Donalbain whispers:
There's daggers in men's smiles:
the near in blood, The nearer bloody. (2.3.126)
The brothers agree to flee Scotland. Malcolm will go to England and, to be extra cautious, Donalbain will go to Ireland.

Question #7
Which of the following is not an apparation shown to Macbeth by the Witches:
a) An armed head.

b) A bloody dagger floating in mid-air.

c) A bloody child.

d) A child crowned, with a tree in his hand


Macbeth sees a bloody dagger appear in the air earlier in the play, before he murders King Duncan.

Question #8
Which location is the setting for Act 5 of Macbeth?
a) Inverness

b) Dunsinane

c) Ely

d) Forres

Dunsinane is the setting of Act 5 and the location where Macbeth is slain. Although Shakespeare and the author of his primary source, Raphael Holinshed, report that Macbeth was killed at Dunsinane, the historical Macbeth actually survived the battle and was killed three years later, in 1057, by Malcolm and his army.

Question #9
Who tells Macbeth, "The queen, my lord, is dead."?
a) Seyton

b) Siward

c) The Doctor

d) Caithness

Seyton's role in the play is small but pivotal, for he informs Macbeth that Lady Macbeth is dead, prompting Macbeth's final soliloquy, "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow" (5.5.19).

Question #10
Who speaks the last lines of the play?
a) Old Siward

b) Macduff

c) Malcolm

d) Donalbain

Malcolm ends the play with the controversial speech:
We shall not spend a large expense of time
Before we reckon with your several loves,
And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,
Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland
In such an honour named. What's more to do,
Which would be planted newly with the time,
As calling home our exiled friends abroad
That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;
Producing forth the cruel ministers
Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen,
Who, as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life; this, and what needful else
That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,
We will perform in measure, time and place:
So, thanks to all at once and to each one,
Whom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone. (5.5.72)
Some scholars believe that someone other than Shakespeare added these final lines, for the reference to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as "this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen" (81), seems to contradict the character development of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth throughout the play. However, it must not be forgotten that Malcolm is expressing his own feelings about his nemeses.

بالتوفيق للجميع

[الــــدب]

1. What is Macbeth's lie to Banquo about the witches' predictions?
He says he doesn't even think about them.

2. What does Duncan call Macbeth when he hears Macbeth has defeated Macdonwald?
He calls him "valiant Cousin! Worthy gentleman!" This is ironic, being said to the man
who will be his murderer.

3. Who is sentenced to death?
The Thane of Cawdor is sentenced to death.

4. What do the witches predict in I.iii for Macbeth? For Banquo?
They predict Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor and eventually the king. They predict that
Banquo will be "lesser than Macbeth, and greater, Not so happy, and yet happier" and that
his descendants will be kings although he will not be one.

5. What news does Ross bring Macbeth?
Ross tells Macbeth that Macbeth now holds the title of the Thane of Cawdor.

6. Banquo, like Macbeth, is surprised that the witches have predicted Macbeth's new title. He is,
however, leery. What does he say about the motives of the "instruments of darkness"?
He says they often tell of good things which may happen without telling the bad
consequences.

7. Malcolm describes Cawdor's last moments before execution. What is Duncan's reply?
You can't tell what is in a person's heart by looking at his face.

8. Macbeth says, "Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires." What are
He now desires to be the king, and he realizes that something will have to be done with the
Macbeth's desires?
He now desires to be the king, and he realizes that something will have to be done with the
present king (and his sons) before his desires can become reality.

9. After Lady Macbeth reads the letter, what does she tell us is her opinion of Macbeth, and how
does she plan to help him?
In short, Lady Macbeth thinks Macbeth could be a good king, but he lacks the hardheartedness
which would allow him to get to the position. She'll talk him into it.

10. What is Lady Macbeth's "prayer" to the spirits after she learns Duncan is coming"?
She wants to be filled with cruelty, given a hard heart and the thick blood necessary to do
what has to be done in order to make Macbeth king.

11. What advice does Lady Macbeth give Macbeth when he arrives home?
She tells him he must learn to look innocent even when his heart is full of evil. He has to
learn to hide his true feelings.

12. What are Macbeth's arguments to himself against killing Duncan?
Macbeth is Duncan's kinsman and his subject. Duncan is a good king and virtuous man; he
has done no particular evil. Duncan is a popular king, and his death would bring sorrow
and unrest upon Scotland.

13. What arguments does Lady Macbeth use to convince Macbeth to commit the murder?
She tells him not to be a coward, not to say later that he "could have been" when he could
"be" king. She tells him to be a man and go get what he wants. She says if she had madethe promise to do this, that she would have killed her own baby to carry forth with her
promise.

14. What is Lady Macbeth's plan?
She will drug the kings grooms (guards). Macbeth will then go into the king's room and
murder him in his sleep.

2. What is the signal Lady Macbeth is to give Macbeth to let him know that she has taken care of
the guards (grooms)?
She will ring a bell.

3. What excuse does Lady Macbeth give for not killing Duncan herself?
He looked like her father sleeping there.

4. After Macbeth kills Duncan, he goes to Lady Macbeth and is concerned about not being able
to say "Amen." What is her advice to him?
She tells him not to think about it so much, or it will make them crazy. (Notice that shedoes later, in fact, go mad and commit suicide.)

5. Then, Macbeth is worried about hearing a voice saying, "Macbeth does murder sleep." What
does Lady Macbeth then tell him to do?
She tells him to go get some water and wash "this filthy witness" from his hands. In other
words, get cleaned up and forget about it.

6. Why won't Macbeth take the daggers back to the scene of the crime?
He can't bear to look at Duncan again.

7. Who was knocking?
Macduff and Lennox were knocking at the gate.

9. How does Lennox describe the night, and what is Macbeth's response?
Lennox goes through a great deion of the terrible night, saying it predicted terrible,
confusing times ahead. Macbeth brushes it off by saying it was a "rough night."

10. What did Macduff discover?
Macduff discovered Duncan's body.

11. 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?
Lady Macbeth was a determining force in the death of Duncan. She is no "lady."

12. What excuse or explanation did Macbeth give for killing the guards (grooms)? What is his
real reason?
He did it out of pain and rage, but he actually wanted to be rid of any possible witnesses to
the murder.

13. Why do Malcolm and Donalbain leave?
They fear that the king's murderer will be after them, too.

14. Why does Ross not believe Malcolm and Donalbain were responsible for Duncan's murder?
He says it is against nature -- both their personal natures and nature as the ruling force in
the universe.

1. Why does Macbeth want Banquo and Fleance dead?
He knows they suspect him of foul play, and he is furious that he has done all of the work
(so-to-speak) of becoming king, and Banquo's descendants will benefit from it.

2. What is Macbeth's plan for killing Banquo and Fleance? Does it work?
He gets two convicted murderers to wait along the road to ambush them. The murderers
kill Banquo, but Fleance escapes.

3. Macbeth says, "The worm that's fled Hath nature that in timthe present." What does that mean?
e will venom breed, No teeth for
Fleance will be a problem in the future, since he will have children who will become kings,
but for now Macbeth can let him go and deal with other things because Fleance is of no
immediate threat to him personally.

4. Who (what) did Macbeth see at the banquet table?
He saw Banquo's ghost.

5. How does Lady Macbeth cover for Macbeth at the banquet? What excuses does she give for
his wild talk?
She tells the guests that he often has these fits, that those who know him well have learned
to ignore them. When Macbeth really gets out of hand, she sends the guests home.

6. Who else was missing from the banquet table (besides Banquo)?
Macduff is missing.

7. Macbeth says, "I am in blood Stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as
tedious as go o'er." What does he mean?
There is no going back now. Macbeth is committed to this course of action, whatever
terrible things he may yet have to do.

8. What does Hecate want the witches to do?
She wants the witches to give Macbeth some visions which will give him falseimpressions, false hopes for his personal safety and the safety of his rule, so he will continue on his path of destruction.

9. What does Lennox think about Macbeth, Fleance, and Duncan's sons?
He thinks Macbeth is the "good guy," Fleance killed Banquo, and Duncan's sons killed the
king.

1. Witch 2 says, "By the pricking of my thumb, Something wicked this way comes." Who
comes?
Macbeth comes.

2. What is Macbeth's attitude towards the witches this time?
He is demanding, trying to take charge.

3. What four things did the witches show Macbeth? What does each show/say? What isMacbeth's reaction?
They showed him an armed head, a bloody child, a crowned child with a tree in its hand,
and, finally, eight kings followed by Banquo's ghost. Respectively, they showed/told
Macbeth to beware of Macduff, that he would not be harmed by anyone "born of woman,"
that he would not be vanquished until Birnam Wood would come to Dunsinane, and that
Banquo's descendants would be kings.

4. Macbeth says (about the witches), "Infected be the air whereon they ride, And damned all
those that trust them!" What is Macbeth, in effect, saying about himself?
He is damned.

5. Where is Macduff?
He is in England helping Malcolm.

6. Why does Macbeth have Macduff's family and servants killed?
Macduff is not loyal to Macbeth, and Macbeth is angry.

7. Why does Lady Macduff's son say liars and swearers are fools?
He implies that since there are more of them than honest people, they should get together
and hang the honest folks. They are foolish to leave themselves in jeopardy when they
could overcome the honest people.

8. Malcolm says, "Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would
wear the brows of grace, Yet grace must still look so." What does that mean?
The devil was, of course, at one time the brightest angel. The point is that things aren't
what they seem. One can't judge the book by its cover, so-to-speak.

9. Macduff says, "Oh, Scotland, Scotland!" Why?
Malcolm has just told him what a horrid king he (Malcolm) would be if he were on the
throne instead of Macbeth. Given a choice, then, between Malcolm and Macbeth, he
gravely fears for his country's future.

10. What news does Ross bring to Macduff?
Ross brings news of Macduff's family's murders.

1. What do the doctor and gentlewoman see Lady Macbeth doing? What do they decide to do?
She is sleepwalking and talking about the murders. The doctor decides his best move is to
not mention that he heard anything, and he tells the woman to keep an eye on Lady
Macbeth.

2. What does Macbeth want the doctor to do for his wife?
He wants the doctor to ease her suffering, to give her something to make her oblivious to
her weighty troubles.

3. What trick does Malcolm use to hide the number of men in his army?
He has his men cut off tree branches and use them as camouflage.

4. Malcolm says, "And none serve with him but constrained things Whose hearts are absent,
too." What does that mean?
Macbeth's armies are there in body only, not in spirit, and there should not be any serious
opposition.

5. What is Macbeth's reaction to Lady Macbeth's death?
He takes it very calmly, saying she would have died sooner or later, anyway.

What is Macbeth's reaction to the news that Birnam Wood is moving?
"Arm, arm, and out!" He's going to fight to the bitter end and take down the whole universe
with him, if necessary.

Who first fights Macbeth? What happens?
Young Siward fights Macbeth and is slain.

Macbeth says to Macduff, "But get thee back, my soul is too much charged With blood of
thine already." To what is he referring?
Macbeth doesn't want to fight Macduff; he has already killed Macduff's family.

When does Macbeth know he's in trouble?
He knows this is his end when Macduff tells him he was taken from his mother's womb
instead of being "born of woman."

Macduff fights him and beheads him.

Who will be King of Scotland?
