Detailed explanation-2: -How does Lady Macbeth respond to Macbeth’s outburst? She tells the people that he is having a fit and he has had this condition since he was a child and it will be over soon. Who else is missing from the banquet table, besides Banquo? Macduff is also missing from the table.
