In class we are reading the play, Macbeth. The last scene we read with Macbeth in the scene is 2.3, when we find out that Duncan and the guards were murdered. During this scene, Macbeth is very nervous about the killing of Duncan. He sees that some of the people like Malcom and Donalbain are suspicious. He then tells everyone that he killed the guards because he was so mad that they killed Duncan. The real reason Macbeth killed the guards was because the guards might of remembered Lady Macbeth giving them wine, and them passing out.
I think the overall feeling that Macbeth has during this scene is nervous. He is afraid that someone is going to try and find out if he killed Duncan, and why he really killed the guards. Lady Macbeth then "passes out" to distract people from asking Macbeth questions about the murder. I think whats going to happen in the end of the story is he is going to tell everyone that he killed Duncan because of guilt.
