    Macbeth kills King Duncan, caving to Lady Macbeth

    I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
    Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell
    That summons thee to heaven or to hell........I have done the deed.

    Lady Macbeth's hands covered in blood

    My hands are of your colour; but I shame
    To wear a heart so white.

    Macduff and Malcolm form an alliance

    "Let us seek out some desolate shade, and there / Weep our sad bosoms empty" (4.3.1-2), says Malcolm to Macduff, when Macduff tells him of the terrible situation in Scotland. Macduff wants Malcolm's support for a war against Macbeth, but Malcolm is extremely cautious. He doesn't commit to anything until he has thoroughly tested Macduff's honor and intentions. Malcolm does this by pretending that he would be a king even more evil than Macbeth

    Lady Macbeth sleepwalking

    A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once
    the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of
    watching! Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One: two: why,
    then, 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my
    lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
    fear who knows it, when none can call our power
    to account?—Yet who would have thought the old
    man to have had so much blood in him?

    Macduff kills Macbeth in battle

    Yet I will try the last. Before my body
    I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
    And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
    —Macbeth's final words.
