I found it odd that shakespeare did not actually reveil what happened when Macbeth stabbed king Duncan. There must have been a lot of thoughts running around in his head, and it seems strange that the author did not describe what happened. We get to the part where the wife worries about whether her husband found the dagger, but we never get to read about how her husband killed the king.
I also found it interesting how the scene uses ill omens and signs from nature to describe or foreshadow certain events. Isn't it strange how horses would eat each other at the death of a king? The fact that everyone felt something bad about yesterday night also is an indication of Shakespeare forshadowing Duncan's death.
I thought Macbeth did a pretty good job at covering up his tracks. It seems like lies are hardest to see through when they deviate from the truth as little as possible. Killing the servants as a scrapegoat was also a clever move on his part, although I get a feeling that his wife did the planning.
