Question

Which lines in this passage from act I, scene VII, of Macbeth show that Macbeth is aware that the crime he intends to commit goes against loyalty and hospitality?

Answer 1

But in these cases
We still have judgement here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which being taught, return
To plague the inventor:
He's here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed: then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off:
I have no spur
To wingspan the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other.
