Detailed explanation-1: -In this act, what causes Macbeth’s nervousness and fear? her own determination.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a soliloquy, Macbeth expressed his fear of the prophecy for Banquo. If the witches’ prophecy for Banquo would become true, then he would be a king without any heir, and his effort to murder Duncan would be meaningless.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Act 1 scene 7 a sense of Macbeth’s confusion is developed in his soliloquy, as he discloses that he is afraid that the ‘horrid deed’ shall ‘return to plaque th’inventor’, suggesting that his greatest fear is the consequences of killing his king yet he admits that he has ‘vaulting ambition’.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Macbeth fear was the main motivating factor and in the end fear influenced the outcome of the play. All of Macbeth’s actions were done out of fear, not only fear of being caught but also fear of the witches’ prophecies. He was afraid that they might be true and tried at all costs to prevent them from happening.
Detailed explanation-5: -But so too have his darkest fears. As the play progresses, Macbeth attempts to quell those fears by means of further bloodshed. Until and unless he can murder all who appear to threaten his ill-gotten crown, he feels himself “cabin’d, cribb’d, confined, bound in / To saucy doubts and fears” (3.4. 24-25).
