AB  - Reconsiders Macbeth as murderer by taking a psychoanalytical approach towards his "confusion." Traces Macbeth's downslide from "once noble general" to "paranoid tyrantbutcher," deeming it punishment for his ignoble act. Concludes that when "Macbeth doth murder sleep," he defiles his honor by killing the king's physical body in its most vulnerable state, even if the king's actions warranted it.
