Act 1: Approximate # of references: Reference citations: Speaker: Banquo Significant Reference: ?My noble partner/ You greet with present grace and great prediction/ Of having and of royal hope,/ That he seems rapt withal.? (I, iii, 57-60) Meaning: Banquo is talking about how Macbeth already has a noble title. He hints at how Macbeth is ambitious because of how he wants to move up and have royal status. Speaker: Macbeth Significant Reference: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,/ Shakes so my single state of man that function/ Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is/ But what is not. (I, iii, 152-155)
