12) Which character says, "Out, damned spot!"?


Overcome with guilt, Lady Macbeth tries to wash imaginary bloodstains from her hands.

Because of the witch's prophecy, Macbeth believes that he cannot be killed by any man born of a woman, but Macduff shatters Macbeth's last hope by revealing that he was "from his mother's womb untimely ripped".

14) Who led the allied forces of Norway and Ireland against Scotland?
