Macbeth – Questions and Answers || Minhajuddin Mondal


Ans. After ascending the throne of Scotland, Macbeth did not rest in peace as the weird sisters prophesied that the children of Banquo would be the kings of Scotland. So Macbeth wanted to murder Banquo.

For the purpose of murder, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth arranged a banquet. They invited all the thanes along with Banquo and Fleance. Macbeth hired some assassins and placed them on their way. The assassins pounced on them and killed Banquo but Fleance manage to flee from there.

2)Why did Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king? What did Macbeth say to oppose her? [2+3 = 5] [H.S. – 2017]

Ans. Lady Macbeth was an extremely ambitious woman. When she came to know the partial accomplishment of the predictions, she provoked her husband to murder King Duncan as it was absolutely necessary for him to be the king of Scotland. 

Macbeth opposed her wife showing strong reasons against the murder of King Duncan. Macbeth was a subject and a close relative to King Duncan. Now Duncan was Macbeth’s host. His only duty is to protect him not to murder him. King Duncan was just and benevolent. He was loved by all. If he was killed, his faithful subjects would try to avenge his death. Macbeth argued that he had enjoyed a high position throughout Scotland. He did not intend to stain his honour and reputation.

3)Bring out the significance of the opening scene of Macbeth. [5] [H.S. – 2017, 2018]

Ans. The opening scene of the play ‘Macbeth’ is very significant as it sets the tone of the play and controls the central theme of the play. When Macbeth and Banquo were returning from the battlefield, they encountered bad weather. There were thunder and lightning which create an uncanny atmosphere of doubt and suspicion. They were stopped by three strange figures. They were dancing and singing, ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’. It shows that they were the worshippers of ‘foul’. By their predictions, they create confusion and chaos in the life of Macbeth. At last, to chase his inordinate ambition, Macbeth faces his doom.

4)Give a brief account of the ‘Banquet Scene’ in ‘Macbeth’. [5] [H.S. – 2016]

Ans. To negate the predictions of the witches, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth planned a banquet. In the banquet, they invited all the chief thanes. They played the role of a perfect host with gentle and graceful manners. They pleased everyone in the banquet and Macbeth regretted the absence of his dearest friend Banquo. Though in the way Macbeth appointed some hired assassins who killed Banquo.

In the banquet hall, Macbeth saw the ghost of Banquo occupying his reserved seat but others could see nothing. At this horrible sight, Macbeth lost his mental balance and behaved strangely. His eyes were fixed upon the ghost. Lady Macbeth controlled the situation and dismissed the guests excusing Macbeth’s illness.

I thing the phantasm was a product of Macbeth’s sense of guilty and a fear of disclosing the dreadful secret.

5)What was the mystery behind the moving of Birnam woods? [5] [H.S. – 2015]

Ans. The strange sight of the moving of Birnam woods was a part of Malcolm’s strategy. Actually,  The woods was not moving. When the soldiers were advancing towards the castle of Macbeth, Malcolm instructed them to cut down a bough and bear it before him to conceal the actual number of soldiers. The marching soldiers with boughs in their hands appeared from the distance that the woods was moving. Thus the prediction of witches seemed to resemble and Macbeth lost his confidence.

6)What did each of the three withes predict to Macbeth when he first met them? What did they say to Banquo? [2+3 = 5] [H.S. – 2014]

Ans. When Macbeth and Banquo were returning from the battlefield victoriously, they were stopped by three strange figures in a desolate heath. The first witch saluted Macbeth with the title of ‘thane of Glamis’. The second witch addressed him as the ‘thane of Cawdor’. The third witch predicted that Macbeth will be the king of Scotland.

Banquo was curious to know about himself. Then the witches turned towards Banquo and told him that he would never reign Scotland as the king but his successors would be the kings.

Q. Describe the first meeting of Macbeth with the witches?

Ans:-The witches met Macbeth for the first time in the blasted heath when Macbeth and Banquo were coming back after crushing a rebellion led by the Thane of Cawdor and assisted by the King of Norway. The first witch hailed Macbeth as the Thane of Glamis. The second witch called him the Thane of Cawdor and the third witch hailed him as the future King. Then turning to Banquo, the witches said that Banquo would be lesser than Macbeth yet greater, not so happy yet much happier, and he would be the father of future kings. Macbeth was amazed and puzzled at the prophecies and wondered how he could be the king when Duncan was living and having two sons to succeed him to the throne.

Q. "Macbeth is more guided by his wife and less by his ambition " –Do you support this statement? Give reasons.
Ans:-Though this is the general perception that Macbeth is more guided by his wife and less by his ambition, we think this statement is far away from the truth . If Macbeth did not have strong ambition within, his wife could not have instigated him to commit the murder of Duncan. In fact, Macbeth was planning so from the moment he was hailed by the witches as the King of Scotland. Later in the play Macbeth kills Banquo, Macduff’s family and other people without any instigation from Lady Macbeth. He is remorseless and remains self assured of his indestructibility. Therefore, though Lady Macbeth was responsible, it was Macbeth’s ambition which guided him throughout.

Q.What role does the witches play in “Macbeth”?
Ans:-The witches play a very important role in “Macbeth”. Had they not been there, perhaps, Macbeth’s ambition of becoming the king would have remained suppressed in his heart. The witches act as a catalyst and increase Macbeth’s desire. It is because of the witches that Macbeth decides so early to plunge into criminality and realize his ambitions. The witches first make Macbeth hope, then give him the confidence only to lead him slowly and steadily towards his tragedy. But the witches cannot be held absolutely responsible for Macbeth’s fall. Unlike Banquo, Macbeth could not show the strength of character and falls prey to the dark desires of his mind.

Q. Why did Macbeth want to murder Banquo and his son? How was Banquo murdered?
Ans :- Macbeth wanted to murder Banquo because after ascending the throne of Scotland, Macbeth did not rest in peace. The weird sisters prophesied that the children of Banquo would be the kings of Scotland. So he decided to do it.
              Macbeth and Lady Macbeth arranged a banquet for the purpose of murdering Banquo and Fleance. They invited all the thanes along with Banquo and Fleance. Macbeth hired some assassins and placed them on their way. The assassins pounced on them and killed Banquo but Fleance managed to flee from there.

Q.Describe in detail Macbeth’s experience when he goes to kill Duncan?
Ans:-When Macbeth goes to kill Duncan he experiences some of the most miserable moments of his life. He hallucinates and sees an air drawn dagger which is bloody. When he tries to get hold of the dagger, it vanishes into the air. Then as he murders Duncan, one of the grooms cry out “murder” and both the grooms wake up. They pray together and say “amen”. Macbeth also tries to say “amen”, but words would not come out from him. Then Macbeth hears( because of his heat oppressed brain) someone saying that Macbeth has murdered sleep and as a result Macbeth shall sleep no more. Facing all this nightmares, Macbeth returns to his wife.

Q. Why did Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king? What did Macbeth say to oppose her?
Ans :- Lady Macbeth was an extremely ambitious woman. When she came to know the partial accomplishment of the predictions, she provoked her husband to murder King Duncan as it was absolutely necessary for him to be the king of Scotland. 
           Macbeth opposed her wife showing strong reasons against the murder of King Duncan. Macbeth was a subject and a close relative to King Duncan. Now Duncan was Macbeth’s host. His only duty is to protect him not to murder him. King Duncan was just and benevolent. He was loved by all. If he was killed, his faithful subjects would try to avenge his death. Macbeth argued that he had enjoyed a high position throughout Scotland. He did not intend to stain his honour and reputation.

Q.Why did Macbeth plan to murder Banquo?
Ans:-Macbeth murdered Banquo because Macbeth knew that only Banquo was witness to what the witches said and had strong reasons to suspect and investigate Macbeth’s hand in the murder of Duncan. Moreover, Macbeth was also jealous of Banquo as the witches had foretold that many of Banquo’s successors would be kings. So to eliminate that chance, Macbeth wanted to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. Macbeth invited Banquo to a banquet and hired three murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance on their way to the Banquet. The murderers attacked them but could manage to kill only Banquo while Fleance escaped.

Q.What role did Lady Macbeth play in the murder of Duncan?
Ans:-Lady Macbeth played a very important role in the murder of Duncan. Macbeth had his ambitions but was not bold enough to achieve it by murdering Duncan. Lady Macbeth instigated him and successfully put pressure on him to kill the king. She did it by just using the valour off her tongue. Though she herself failed to stab Duncan as the sleeping old king resembled her dead father, she convinced Macbeth that he should go and do the job instead. They could then easily fix the blame on the grooms. So the planning of the murder and the way it was to be executed had come out from the mind of Lady Macbeth though Macbeth himself remains responsible for his crime.

Q.Narrate the fight between Macbeth and Macduff.
Ans:-Macbeth and Macduff fights each other towards the end of the play when the army of Malcolm, of which Macduff is a part, invades Scotland to dethrone and punish Macbeth. In the battlefield, Macbeth tries to avoid Macduff because of the Apparition’s warning where he was told to be “beware of Macduff”. But Macduff had many scores to settle with him and attacked him. Replying to Macbeth’s assertion, Macduff informs him that he was not of woman born and was from his mother’s womb untimely ripped off. Macbeth then realizes that his end was near but he carries on his fight with Macduff and gets killed in the battlefield in Macduff’s hands.

Q.Narrate the banquet scene in Macbeth. 
Ans:-The Banquet Scene is an important part of the play “Macbeth”. The banquet is hosted by Macbeth to celebrate his accession to the throne. People attending the banquet was supposed to have allegiance for Macbeth. In the meantime Macbeth gets Banquo killed by hired murderers. In the banquet Macbeth complains about the absence of Banquo and questions his friendship. Suddenly Macbeth sees the blood smeared ghost of Banquo starts talking to him. He even challenges the ghost to fight with him. Nobody else sees the ghost, though. Fearing that Macbeth would reveal his crime in front of others, Lady Macbeth immediately orders dispersal of the crowd citing Macbeth’s illness.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE 

Wildlife plays an important role in human and animal life. It is our duty to save and protect it. On this earth, the wildlife is equally important like human beings. But unfortunately, the wildlife on this earth is always in danger as we, the human being are destroying it regularly only to fulfill our personal needs. Many animals are on the verge of extinction due to the irresponsibility of man. Trees are vanishing from the earth daily. As a result of that, the ecosystem and the balance of nature is deteriorating. In India, the growth of population has caused a lot of damage to the wildlife. Though we have wildlife conservation laws in the country it has not reduced the destruction of wildlife as expected. People need to feel the importance of wildlife and try to protect it from being destroyed.

Read the following passage and answer the questionsthat follow:-

    I remember another funny incident about Bhola Grandpa related by my father. It had been a rainy afternoon. Bhola Grandpa, wild with excitement, told my father and his friends that he had seen a gang of pirates. They were buying a large box under one of the sand dunes on the seashore by our village. At once father and his friends started looking for the hidden treasure. Evening passed on to night. Moonlight came in through the clouds. A pack of jackals were howling. It was past midnight. At this point of time, Bhola Grandpa confessed that there was no real treasure. It was all a dream which he had during his midday nap.

   Once Bhola Grandpa had a great adventure in the Sunderbans. In those days Royal Bengal tigers freely roamed the dense jungles of the Sunderbans. People took care to move about only in groups, particularly after sundown.

   One evening, Bhola Grandpa Grandpa was returning from the weekly market. Suddenly at a distance of about five yards behind him, he heard the growl of a Royal Bengal tiger. Bhola Grandpa turned and found the bright gaze of the tiger on his face.

   Bhola Grandpa instantly climbed up a nearby banyan tree. The tiger roared and circled the tree about a hundred times. Then it settled down under a bush without taking its eyes off him. With nightfall, the forest grew dark and silent. Bhola Grandpa could hear the tiger beating its tail on the dry leaves. Hours passed.
