61-62. Lady Macbeth is speaking to her husband in this quotation, claiming that they both have blood on their hands as a result of Duncan's death, but she would be embarrassed to have a heart as cowardly as his. She asserts that even if he were not to act on her advice, she would still have blood on her hands because she had planned the murder herself. Macbeth does not believe his wife, and instead believes that they are safe from detection because nobody knew he was responsible for Duncan's death. He feels guilty about murdering King Duncan, but claims that it was not him who actually killed him; rather, it was the three witches who call themselves "the Fates". The Macbeths' future was already determined long before they ever met, and so neither of them can be said to have committed murder. The witches promise that Macbeth will have a noble title after killing King Malcolm, and that he will be "king of Scotland" afterwards. These are both false prophecies, as Macbeth fails to kill King Malcolm and is never crowned king. However, he does become captain of the guard after King Duncan's death, and he does receive an annual pension from King Edward I until his own death several years later.
