I see your motives inside, decisions to hide” And I can just sense that that’s really what Macduff is thinking, that whatever is in Macbeth’s psycho head is consuming him and he wants it, like greed almost and that’s why Duncan doesn’t even come to the party because he has a suspicion so he’s just like...
