Scene 4 Questions Macbeth

1) What is Malcolm’s description of Cawdor’s execution?

3) Who does the King name as his successor? How does Macbeth react to this information?
The King names his son Malcolm as his successor. Macbeth isn't bothered by this he says that he would be happy just working for him, but he also wants to be the king because he is still thinking about what the witches told him.

4) “Stars hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.” Who speaks this quote and what is the significance of it?
Macbeth says this to himself and he is saying that he hopes no one can see the evil desires he has, he doesn't want to see what he's going to do, but he knows that eventually he will see it even though he doesn't want to.
