Lennox


 * Biography:**

Lennox is one of Macbeth's lords. Like many of Macbeth's lords, Lennox is aware that Macbeth was responsible for the killings of King Duncan and Banquo. However, he just jokes about Macbeth's actions in a sarcastic tone, because like the rest of the lords, he does not have the power to do anything about Macbeth. Lennox points out that everything is working out ideally for Macbeth, but not for anyone else. He is aware that Macbeth was responsible for the murders of King Duncan, his guards, Banquo, and Fleance. Lennox is suspicious of the fact that Macbeth had murdered the guards before giving them a chance to explain what happened or to defend themselves because it would have caused the blame to shift to Macbeth and his wife. Lennox uses tongue-in-cheek sarcasm in order to convey these points to the Lord, with whom he is speaking, and the audience.

Macbeth, after visiting the Witches, tells Lennox that he is going to act upon instinct, and his first move will be to attack Macduff's family.
