Macbeth · Act 1 · recall

1. According to the wounded Captain, what did Macbeth do to the rebel Macdonwald?

  1. A Captured him and sent him to Duncan for trial
  2. B Drove him back by sea to the Western Isles
  3. C Split him open and set his head on the battlements
  4. D Wounded him and let him flee to the Norwegian camp
Answer key

C. The Captain reports that Macbeth cut Macdonwald open "from the nave to the chops" and fixed his head on the battlements; the rebel was neither captured nor allowed to escape.

Macbeth · Act 1 · close reading

6. Speaking of the executed Thane of Cawdor, Duncan says, "There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." Why is this line ironic as Macbeth enters right after it?

  1. A Duncan is about to trust another man whose looks hide treacherous thoughts
  2. B Duncan has already guessed that Macbeth wants the crown
  3. C Cawdor actually died without confessing any of his crimes
  4. D Macbeth has come to plead for Cawdor's life and title
Answer key

A. Duncan admits he was fooled by Cawdor and at once heaps trust on Macbeth, who in the same scene hides his "black and deep desires"; Malcolm reports that Cawdor did confess, so C is false.
