In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act III, which struggle points to an internal conflict? Explain your answer. a. Macbeth’s attempts to
have Banquo and Fleance killed b. the witches’ influence on Macbeth’s and Banquo’s lives c. Lady Macbeth’s attempts to convince her husband to behave differently d. Macbeth’s guilt causing him to see Banquo’s ghost
d. Macbeth’s guilt causing him to see Banquo’s ghost.
Explanation:
This is the best example of a struggle that points to an internal conflict. In this example, we see that Macbeth is dominated by the guilt that he feels for the murder of Banquo. His guilt is so unbearable that it causes him to see Banquo's ghost. This is an internal conflict because it all happens within Macbeth's mind, and does not represent an interaction between Macbeth and any other person.
