Act 2: Duncan's Murder

    After Macbeth murders Duncan, several people get different ideas of who the murderer could be. In Act 2 Scene 2, Macbeth finally goes through with his plan and murders Duncan. When the body is discovered, Banquo is almost sure that it was Macbeth even though Lady Macbeth planted the murder weapons on Duncan's two chamberlains, because the murder happened soon after Macbeth heard about his future of being king. On the other hand Lennox believes it was Malcolm and Donalbain that committed the crime, because after they discovered Duncan's body the boys were gone. Obviously a lot of other people believe it actually was the two chamberlains because they had the murder weapons so they are the obvious suspect.
