In act
4, scene 1, the most significant conflict is that which rages inside of 's own mind and which he
alludes to when he declares that he will murderso that he "may tell pale-hearted fear it
lies / And sleep in spite of thunder." In other words, even though one of the spirits has
told him that no man born of woman can harm him,decides that he will kill Macduff anyway, just
to be safe. He will also kill Macduff so that the fear he feelswhich prevents him from
sleepingcan be put to rest. At this point in the play, Macbeth has made so many enemies and is
so afraid of losing his throne that in his mind, there is a conflict between his natural bravery
and this unnatural fear. It is to resolve this conflict, and to determine whether he needs to be
either brave or fearful, that Macbeth demands to hear from : "I will be satisfied. Deny me
this, / And an eternal curse fall on you!"
In act 4, scene 1, there is
also a conflict between Macbeth and. Banquo...
