Lennox's speech


Lennox talks to a Lord about the murders of King Duncan and Banquo and the politics of Scotland. Lennox says that he thinks it’s too unreasonable for Malcolm and Donalbain to kill their own father. On the other hand, it’s quite possible for Macbeth to murder the King because of his slaying of the bodyguards. Furthermore, Lennox suggests that if Malcolm, Donalbain, and Fleance were in Macbeth’s prison, they would very likely to be killed by now. Lennox also says that Macduff is definitely guilt-free because he doesn’t take part in Macbeth’s banquet when the King was killed. In the speech, Lennox applies many ironies to make his statement.
