Identify the speaker:“at once, good night, stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once!”

A	Macbeth
B	Lady Macbeth
C	Lennox
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Of direst cruelty! In Act 1 of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, sensing her husband’s shaky resolve in committing murder to secure the crown of Scotland, asks spirits to “unsex” her ‑ to take away the “weaknesses” associated with being female.

Detailed explanation-2: -As Macduff enters the king’s chamber, Lennox describes the storms that raged the previous night, asserting that he cannot remember anything like it in all his years. With a cry of “O horror, horror, horror!”

Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, remains constant in her judgement. Unlike Macbeth, she cannot see the ghost, and her tone is typically pragmatic and down-to-earth: “When all’s done, / You look but on a stool.” She appears to want to calm his rages, but anger simmers beneath her conciliatory words.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of you have done this? What, my good lord? Thy gory locks at me. You, Banquo’s ghost, cannot accuse me of killing you.
