Macbeth stabbed King Duncan and his two royal guards to death. That night, Banquo and his son spoke about the lack of a moon and the presence of heavy wind [Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 2, 4-5]. The next morning, Ross and an Old Man also spoke of atypical weather and animal behavior. Specifically, Ross referred to the pitch blackness of the day [Act 2 Scene 4 Lines 5-10]. The Old Man, in turn, spoke of the unexpected killing of a facon by a mere mousing owl [Lines 10-12]. Then Ross brought up the weird happening of the King's horses suddenly turning wild and breaking loose from their stalls [Lines 16-18]. The Old Man concluded with the shocking news that the horses had eaten each other [Line 18].

On the night that Macbeth murdered Duncan, he snuck into the king's chamber while everyone else was asleep and stabbed Duncan to death. Macbeth then framed Duncan's guards for the murder by planting the murder weapons on them to make it seem like they were the culprits.

During an overnight visit to the Macbeths at Inverness Castle, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and his two royal guards were stabbed to death. The corpses and the crime scene were so bloodied that the perpetrator, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], couldn't bear to go back [Act 1 Scene 3 Lines 50-52]. The next morning, Macduff stopped by for the King to accompany him to the next stop on the royal journey. Macduff found the dead bodies, which he described as an absolute horror [Line 57, 73].

Duncan had a very hard effect on macbeth because he was always told to be loyal to the king. once dead all hell broke loose because while macbeth was trying to cover this up. Banquo thought that macbeth had something to do with it. So macbeth killed him. The crazy wife was on a roll. It was crazy!

Macbeth actually gives us no details of the murder. He says, "I have done the deed". After he has killed Duncan, he recounts, about the grooms in the chamber, "There's one did laugh in's sleep, and one cried 'Murder!' That they did wake each other: I stood and heard them: But they did say their prayers, and address'd them Again to sleep."
