Tortured ambivalence best describes Macbeth’s feelings about the possible assassination of King Duncan in Act I of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Option B is correct.
Before Macbeth kills the king Duncan, Macbeth is ambitious to become king, but he shows hesitation to act. In addition to this, he is nervous and already feels guilty. Following that act, Macbeth carries the bloody daggers and is visibly frightened and disturbed by his violent actions. After murdering Duncan, Macbeth becomes increasingly unstable.
