Macbeth Act 2 Summary with Key Quotes & English Subtitles

Summary of the summary: Macbeth has agreed to kill King Duncan. He sees an imaginary dagger in the air that leads him to the king's room. He stabs King Duncan in his bed.

Macduff, the quiet hero, arrives to accompany King Duncan on his day's journey. Macduff discovers the king has been murdered and he wakes up all the thanes (generals) and royals who are sleeping at Macbeth's castle.

In the confusion, Macbeth kills the 2 drugged servants who were guarding the king. He wants everyone to think that the servants were paid to kill the king.

King Duncan's sons run away because they think they could be killed next.

The following day, Macduff goes back to his castle. He doesn't watch the ceremony when Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland.

Students, the AI tool in Google Search is currently in an experimental stage. It can give confusing and wrong answers to your questions about Macbeth or any other play/novel where characters think one way and then do a completely different action to cover up their true motivations. So, be aware of that when you are asking a question in Google.
Good luck!

O M G thank you much. this weekend, I feverishly watched just about EVERYTHING on youtube about Macbeth as I have to start teaching it this week. I studied it in Year 12, back in 1892.... but starting to teach it to a bunch of year 10s.. yikes. This is by far the BEST resource I've found. Bowing to the master (mistress?) ... Psycho English teacher?
