1. Macbeth's second and third victims are the two guards who were standing in front of Duncan's bedroom door. His plan was to kill Duncan in his sleep, but the guards were preventing him from doing that. This is why he killed the two guards with the help of his wife.

The full question is: In what different ways does the text distinguish prometheus's character from that of the other gods on mount olympus
Answer and Explanation:
The text to which the question refers is "Prometheus the friend of man."
