[your answer]

Roughly: Are you real, or are you a hallucination?
This is the dilemma Duncan has unwittingly set himself up to be the object of later in the play
What is Macbeth taking advantage of his trust and respect in order to kill him
Translate this line, roughly (extra challenge), spoken by Lady Macbeth in her soliloquy: "The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan."
What is that Duncan will die here. (The raven is a signal of death/grim news, and Duncan's "fatal entrance" refers to his coming to stay at Macbeth's castle)
Translate this line, roughly (spoken by the manipulative Lady Macbeth to a frantic Macbeth): "Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour, as thou are in desire?"
What is, roughly, "are you too scared to act like a man when you have a job to do when you can act like a man between you and me?"
