In this scene, Lennox and another lord discuss the current state of affairs in Scotland. Lennox sarcastically describes how events have unfolded, pointing out the suspicious circumstances surrounding Duncan's and Banquo's deaths. The lord informs him about Macduff's departure to the English court to seek help from King Edward. They both express their hope that aid will come to free Scotland from Macbeth's tyranny.
LENNOX:
My former speeches have but hit your thoughts,
Which can interpret further: only, I say,
Things have been strangely borne. The gracious Duncan
Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead:
And the right-valiant Banquo walk'd too late;
Whom, you may say, if't please you, Fleance kill'd,
For Fleance fled: men must not walk too late.
Who cannot want the thought how monstrous
It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain
To kill their gracious father? damned fact!
How it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight
In pious rage the two delinquents tear,
That were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?
Was not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too;
For 'twould have anger'd any heart alive
To hear the men deny't. So that, I say,
He has borne all things well: and I do think
That had he Duncan's sons under his key-
As, an't please heaven, he shall not-they should find
What 'twere to kill a father; so should Fleance
Lennox sarcastically calls it a "monstrous" thought that Malcolm and Donalbain could have killed their father, Duncan, and he labels the accusation as a "damned fact," indicating his disbelief.
