6715303790A doctorWhat Chillingsworth pretends to be49
6715303791fair is foul and foul is fair(Act I) Witches * an ambiguous statement; could have double meaning * also reflects the overall theme--hard to distinguish between fair (good) and foul (evil)50
6715303792So foul and fair a day I have not seenMacbeth (dramatic irony: he unwittingly makes a remark similar to the witches statement; audience would recognize this)51
6715303793"Be warned...The instruments of darkness tell us truths; win us with honest trifles, only to betray us in deepest consequence"BANQUO warns Macbeth early on about the witches; his advice reflects the theme of deception.52
6715303794Stars hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desiresMACBETH, in the beginning, is ashamed of his evil thoughts and intentions. He recognizes that it's wrong and should hide his intentions from the Heavens53
6715303795Come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me hereLady Macbeth conjures up the witches to assist her in being less of a woman (nurturing, motherly), and "manly" enough to commit the murder herself54
6715303796Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hellLady Macbeth. Her lines are parallel (similar) to the same thoughts that Macbeth spoke earlier. Calling on the darkness of the night to hide her actions is another example of thinking she can hide her dark deeds from Heaven (deception) and get away with it.55
6715303797Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under'tLady Macbeth's words reflect the theme of deception--trying to disguise evil by looking innocent. Also has religious imagery (the serpent = evil)56
6715303798Is this a dagger which I see before me? I have thee not yet I see thee still.Macbeth: he interprets that seeing a dagger as his destiny (fate).57
6715303799"Methinks I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no More!"MACBETH realizes that the evil of murdering someone while he was innocently sleeping; plus he knows that he his own guilty conscience will forever rob him of sleep.58
6715303800Beware Macduff!First apparition - possible threat of Macduff59
6715303801None of woman born shall harm MacbethSecond apparition (Bloody child) - This one comforts Macbeth, as every man is born of a woman60
6715303802Macbeth shall never be vanquished until Great Birnham wood to high Dunsinane Hill comes against himThird apparition (crowned child) - suggests that Macbeth is safe until the forest outside his castle moves (advances) on him61
6715303803"Secret, black, and midnight hags!"Macbeth --this shows the change in him; he's now arrogant and demanding when he addresses them; compared to first time with shock and surprise62
6715303804Is execution done on Cawdor? Are not those in commission yet returned? There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face. He was a gentleman on whom I built an absolute trust.Duncan says this, in reference to Cawdor being a traitor. The King punishes evil-doing and rewards loyalty, and clearly KNOWS the difference between them, though finds it difficult to detect those who are deceptive (traitors). Irony -- MACBETH becomes a traitor under the same title.63
6715303805Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way.Lady Macbeth's greed for power is obvious from the beginning. But she sees Macbeth as weak (even though others know him to be heroic). "Full of milk of human kindness," compares him to possessing nurturing, compassionate traits. Ironically, she despises these traits ("unsex me here")64
6715303806Confusion now hath made his masterpiece. Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope The Lord's anointed temple, and stole thence the life o' th' building!Macduff says this when he discovers Duncan has been murdered. He compares Duncan's body to the Lord's temple, emphasizing the King's godliness, as well as the magnitude of the crime.65
6715303807Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the weird women promised, and I fear Thou played'st most foully for 't.Banquo airs his suspicions of Macbeth--he suspects "foul play." Even though he offers to talk openly to Macbeth about it, as friends, Macbeth puts on the "mask" of deception and pretends he doesn't know about it.66
