6715303790 | A doctor | What Chillingsworth pretends to be | 49 | |
6715303791 | fair 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 | |
6715303792 | So foul and fair a day I have not seen | Macbeth (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 | |
6715303794 | Stars hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires | MACBETH, in the beginning, is ashamed of his evil thoughts and intentions. He recognizes that it's wrong and should hide his intentions from the Heavens | 53 | |
6715303795 | Come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here | Lady Macbeth conjures up the witches to assist her in being less of a woman (nurturing, motherly), and "manly" enough to commit the murder herself | 54 | |
6715303796 | Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell | Lady 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 | |
6715303797 | Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't | Lady Macbeth's words reflect the theme of deception--trying to disguise evil by looking innocent. Also has religious imagery (the serpent = evil) | 56 | |
6715303798 | Is 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 | |
6715303800 | Beware Macduff! | First apparition - possible threat of Macduff | 59 | |
6715303801 | None of woman born shall harm Macbeth | Second apparition (Bloody child) - This one comforts Macbeth, as every man is born of a woman | 60 | |
6715303802 | Macbeth shall never be vanquished until Great Birnham wood to high Dunsinane Hill comes against him | Third apparition (crowned child) - suggests that Macbeth is safe until the forest outside his castle moves (advances) on him | 61 | |
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 surprise | 62 | |
6715303804 | Is 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 | |
6715303805 | Glamis 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 | |
6715303806 | Confusion 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 | |
6715303807 | Thou 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 |
