Answer 1

Answer:

A. There are still threats to the throne

• Macbeth murders King Duncan to become king, but the throne is held onto by murder. He also kills two of the king's servants to maintain the charade.

• Macbeth feels guilty for the murders of Duncan and Banquo. The more violence he commits, the more guilty and fearful he becomes.
