Respuesta :

The last statement is the one.

Answer:

D) Macbeth is torubled by the witches' prophecy that Banquo's descendants will become kings.

E) Macbeth has a troubled conscience because he murdered Duncan and Banquo

Explanation:

Macbeth received a prophecy that Banquo's descendant will become king, so he decides to kill Banquo and his son. During the banquet, he receives the news that the assassination of Banquo was made successfully, but Banquo's son managed to escape. At that moment, Macbeth, who was already upset that he killed Duncan, is terrified that the prophecy could be fulfilled.

In addition, Banquo's ghost enters and sits in the place of Macbeth at the table, during the banquet. Only Macbeth can see the ghost, while the other guests panic at the sight of Macbeth in fury, raging against an empty chair.
