Question

Which lines in this excerpt from act III of Shakespeare’s Macbeth refer to Macbeth’s insecurity because of the threats to his kingship?

Answer 1

'Tis safer to be that which we destroy,
Than, by destruction, dwell in doubtful joy.

Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly: better be with the dead
