After Duncan’s murder how are Macbeth and Lady Macbeth alike
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were alike after Duncan's murder in a way that both of their hands were stained with Duncan's blood.

Explanation:

'Macbeth' is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

There are similarities and differences between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the play. After King Duncan was murdered by Macbeth, one thing that they both shared in common was that they both were guilty of Duncan's murder. They both knew that they were doing wrong yet they committed the wrong deed. Both of their hands were soaked in the blood of Duncan. Macbeth's hands were soaked in Duncan's blood because he murdered him and Lady Macbeth's hands were stained with blood because she tried to remove any proof pointing to Macbeth for the murder of Duncan by cleaning the stain on knife with guards clothes.

This blood stain is what makes Macbeth remorseful immediately after he committed crime whereas the blood draws Lady Macbeth to insanity duue to unbearable guilt of murder.
