Macbeth question?

where we are. there%26#039;s no daggers in men%26#039;s smiles, the near in blood, the nearer bloody. (donalbain act 2, scene 3)


what did donalbain mean?





naught%26#039;s had all spent where our desire is got without content. tis safer to be that which we destroy. than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy. (lady macbeth act 3, scene 2)


what did lady macbeth mean?
Macbeth question?
The line is-





There are daggers in men%26#039;s smiles: the near in blood,


the nearer bloody





It means that there is a level of subterfuge going on. People are playing nice and smiling while planning bloody things. %26quot;the near in blood%26quot; - someone close to the event %26quot;the nearer bloody%26quot; - is most likely responsible





Lady MacBeth%26#039;s line:


Nought%26#039;s had, all%26#039;s spent,


Where our desire is got without content;


%26#039;Tis safer to be that which we destroy


Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.





This basically is saying it would better to be dead than to live in this sort of unknowing if they%26#039;ll be found out state.





Line by line its sorta roughly translated:


the deed is done for nothing


what we desired didn%26#039;t make us happy


it would be better to be dead like the king we destroyed


than by killing him live in unsure happiness
