1. Analyze Macbeth's active imagination contributes to his internal conflict. Explain what these passages from Act ll reveal about this conflict:
the voice after the murder (Scene 2, lines 33-41)
Macbeth goes into a long diatribe against his murderous act. He laments that he will not sleep again because of his overwhelming guilt:
Methought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep”—the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,
The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
