2.) ActII ScI
ReplyDelete"To be thus is nothing:
But to be safely thus: our fears in Banquo
Stick deep; and in his royalty of nature
reigns that which would be feared..."
WHO? - Macbeth
WHAT?- He is alone, waiting for the murderers to come in to speak to him, where he will ask them to murder Banquo. Macbeth is saying that you can't be king unless you are safely king... as in Banquo, the somewhat debbie-downer to Macbeth's power game, must be done away with.
12.) ActIV ScI
"Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff!
Beware the Thane of Fife."
WHO? - First Apparition
WHAT?- Here, the floating armed head is warning Macbeth to beware of Macduff. He doesn't say much and he dissapears right after, but this is important as the big clue to Macbeth that Macduff should be feeeeeeared.
22.) ActI ScI
"What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won."
WHO? - King Duncan
WHAT?- The king is telling Ross after a battle that the thane of Glamis was behaving treacherously in battle, so now he will be sentenced to death and give Macbeth his spot.
32.) ActI ScV
"Hie thee hither;
that i may pour my spirits in thine ear,
and chastise with the valor of my tongue
All that impedes thee from the golden round"
WHO? - Lady Macbeth
WHAT?- After she has read the letter, she realizes that Macbeth's kindness will slow them down on their way to power. She must "pour her spirits" of evil into him so that they can get to the "golden round," or king's crown.
5. We have scotched the snake, not kill'd it.
ReplyDeleteAct III - Scene 2 - Macbeth
Macbeth has just hired the two Murderers to go and kill Banquo and his son, while Lady Macbeth is talking to a servant. He is talking about the situation, as how they have only scratched the surface and have yet to eliminate the threat.
15. Out damned spot! Out, I say!
Act V - Scene 1 - Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth is now experiencing madness like Macbeth was, being unable to "cleanse" herself of the blood on her hands (her deeds) and signifies a complete change from her previous ways (Nothing a little water won't solve.)
25. But 'tis a strange; And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence.
Act I - Scene 3 - Page 447 - Line 122 - Banquo
Banquo talking to Macbeth about the witches they had just encountered, and how evil tells him truths to betray them, since Macbeth is beginning to believe the witches' prophecy thanks to just being informed that he is the new Thane of Cawdor.
35. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other.
Act I - Scene 7 - Page 454 - Line 25 - Macbeth
Macbeth is contemplating whether or not to slay Duncan, and is telling us that the only reason why he would is because of the "Vaukting ambition" which goes too far, and ending up falling down on the other side of the wall (His ambition fails him after killing Duncan)
09. Macbeth says this in Act Three. He means that he shouldn't feel so guilty, because he and Lady Macbeth haven't really committed such awful crimes. This foreshadows Macbeth's total loss of humanity later on in the play.
ReplyDelete19. Macbeth says this quote in Act Five. He says that he is growing old, but instead of having those things which age usually brings, like love, loyalty, and friends, he has a kingdom of people who despise him and wish him dead. He has clawed his way to the top, but it isn't what he'd hoped it would be.
29. Duncan says this in Act One. He is bemoaning the Thane of Cawdor's betrayal. Duncan is upset because he trusted the Thane greatly, but his true intentions did not match his appearance. Little does Duncan know, he will soon be betrayed by another Thane whom he trusts implicitly.
39. Lady Macbeth says this in Act Two. Macbeth is distraught over his killing of Duncan, and feels that he can never wash the blood from his hands, but Lady Macbeth treats their act of murder as though it is of little consequence to them. She feels no guilt. This is foreshadowing Lady Macbeth's actions in Act Five, when she commits suicide out of guilt, trying to wash imaginary bloodstains from her hands.
6. "be innocent of the knowledge,dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed."
ReplyDeletespeaker-Macbeth
Macbeth is talking to lady Macbeth about having Banquo and his son, Fleance, killed. he does not want Lady Mac to worry or feel guilt until the deed has been committed.
36. "is this the dagger which i see before me..."
speaker- Macbeth
Macbeth is regretting and feeling guilty of killing king Duncan. he cannot believe that he has just murdered a king or even a friend... with a dagger.
16. "all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand."
speaker- Lady Macbeth
She says this when she is deathly ill and is sleep walking. she feels that her hands are wretched and harsh from the horrible deeds she has committed and that with even all the perfumes in Arabia, she will never hide the evil in her hands.
26. "In good, why do i yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my ribs, Against the use of nature?"
speaker- Macbeth
Mac is having a battle in his mind on whether the witches prophecies were true or not and whether he should actually have to kill to earn his rightful spot as thane of Cawdor and king. i believe these are his first signs of insanity
oh sorry forgot to add scenes and acts
ReplyDelete26. act 1 scene 3
16. act V scene 1
36. act II scene 1

OH YEAH!!!
leif ur lazy
ReplyDelete***"I am in blood stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er"
ReplyDeleteAct III - Scene IV - Macbeth
This quote follows Macbeth's initial public display of insanity at the banquent. He has just informed his wife of his plans to return to hear further of his destiny from the witches. His safety is his top priority, so he therefore wants to know the worst. Specifically, he is saying that he has walked so far into a river of blood that even if he stopped now, it would be as hard to go back to being good as it is to keep killing people.
***"Those he commands move only in command, Nothing in love: now does he feel his title Hang lose about him, like a giant's robe Upon a dwarfish thief"
Act IV - Scene II - Angus
The quote amongst a conversation about the developing battle against Macbeth persued by the English army under Malcom and Macduff. It is said that Macbeth has heavily defended his castle in preparation for the unavoidable feat, and the signs of madness continue to show. Angus is praticularly saying that the soldiers Macbeth commands are only following orders, they don’t fight because they love Macbeth; so now he seems too small to be a great king, like a midget trying to wear the robes of a giant.
***"...nothing in his life Became him like the leaving of it..."
Act I - Scene IV - Malcom
In a conversation with Duncan, Malcom is explaining what he has heard in the death of the Thane of Cawdor. According to the account, the thane confessed to all his acts of treasons and begged for the magesty's forgiveness. Malcom is saying that he never did anything in his whole life that looked as good as the way he died.
***"Whence is that knocking? How is't with me when every noise appals me? What hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes! Will all great Neptune's ocean was this blooks Clean from my hand? No; this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incardine, Making the green one red."
Act II - Scene II - Macbeth
Macbeth has just committed the murder of Duncan and is having a conversation with his wife. He is interrupted by knocking which frightens him and therefore begins to question his sanity. His hands taunt him with the blood and the sight drives his guilt. He continues that not even the ocean waters can undo the deed that has been done.
1 Act 2 scene3 (Macduff)
ReplyDelete"well, may you see things well done there. Adieu, lest our old robes sit easier than our new!"
It is evident that Macduff is suspicious of the deeds of Macbeth all along. He makes this comment in remark to what has happened as if he knows that Duncan will have been a much better king than Macbeth could ever be (old vs. new robes)
11 Act 4 scene 1 (second witch..superior to witch number 3 but subordinate to witch number one)
"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes..."
The second witch says this as Macbeth approaches as if to say that she knows and even provoked the evil that now resides in Macbeth's soul.
21. Act 1 scene 1 (all witches)
"Fair is foul and foul is fair"
The witches say this in agreement that they will meet in whatever weather may present itself whether the weather is rain, lightening, or thunder. Then they shall meet macbeth upon the heath after "the battle's been lost and won"
31. Act1 scene 5 (lady macbeth)
"...yet do I fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way"
Lady Macbeth, having read the letter sent to her by Macbeth, notes that although the letter is of great success and praise for Macbeth, she believes that Macbeth lacks the stomach to carry out the deeds necessary for his ascension to the throne.
pg. 483 (line 50-51)
ReplyDelete"Thou canst not say I did it: never shake
Thy gory locks at me."
- Macbeth utters this quote upon the appearance of Banquo at the banquet with all the lords. His words to an otherwise empty chair make the lords doubt their choice of giving him the title as king.
pg. 510 (line 62-64)
"... unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets:
More needs she the divine than the physician."
-The Doctor explains possible reasons, to the Gentlewoman, of why Lady Macbeth may be sleepwalking and muttering words, they believe as random. The guilt that Lady Macbeth has suppressed before this resurgence of feeling, begins to rise to the surface. this scene occurs after Macbeth's meeting with the witch's, possibly becoming a physical form of his gradual decline.. his evil mistress defeated!
pg. 447 (line 42-43)
"If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, Without me stir."
- Macbeth states this quote when he discovers that the witch's prophecy may be true. He is told by lords that, because of the betrayal of a thane, he has received a new position and retains his old one. He is the Thane of both Cawdor and Galamis. This quote is spoken aside.
pg. 461 (line 34-39)
"Methought I heard a voice cry "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep"-- the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravel'd sleave of care,
The death of each days life, sore labor's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast -"
-Macbeth tells this quote to Lady Macbeth, after the murder of Duncain. His guilt overrides his other feelings while Lady Macbeth later comments on his cowardice.
10. Double, double toil and trouble
ReplyDeleteFire burn and cauldron bubble.
This is what the witches say when mixing the terrible ingredients. Later on, they call in spirits to tell Macbeth what he wants to know (i.e. fear Macduff, no man of woman born, Great Birnam Woods to Dunsinane Hill, Banquo’s descendants).
20. I’ll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hack’d.
Give me my armor.
Macbeth has just been told that 10,000 men have gathered to fight him. To show that he does not fear because so many around him do and, I guess, to gain respect, he puts on his armor. He says, “till from my bones my flesh be hack’d.” He knows under his false confidence that that won’t happen. He’s just trying to cheer up and strengthen those around him.
30. Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires…
Macbeth has just found out that Duncan intends to five the kingdom to Malcolm. Macbeth just now begins to realize and starts thinking of who he’ll have to kill in order to become king. Basically he’s saying he does not want anyone to figure out what he’s doing, at least not until he’s done; he doesn’t want anybody to pick up on his plan and to foil it before he can carry it out. He knows someone’s blood is going to have to be shed and he is willing to do so to become king.
1. “Nought’s had, all’s spent, where our desire is got without content: ‘Tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.”
ReplyDeletea. Speaker- Lady Macbeth
b. Pronouns- our/we- Her and Macbeth
c. Occasion- the occasion is when Macbeth is starting to get over his doubt about their murders and she is telling him he neds to get himself together for the banquet scene and nothing can go wrong or make anyone suspicious
2. “Be bloody, bold, and resolute! Laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth.”
a. Speaker-The 2nd apparition
b. no pronouns…
c. Occasion- Macbeth is meeting the witches for what I believe is the 3rd time so far and they are making prophesies to him of which most of them make no good sense whatsoever
3. “So foul a day I have not seen”
a. Speaker-Macbeth
b. pronouns-I-Macbeth
c. Macbeth is walking along, talking to Banquo (before he was dead, of course) it is him commenting on the weather, which sets the scene for the 3 witches’ appearance and just about everything creepy that happens in the scene
4. “Look like th’ innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t”
a. Speaker- Lady Macbeth
b. no pronouns
c. It is symbolizing the beautiful flower which, if unknowingly picked up, will reveal the deadly snake underneath it, hidden from view. This is talking about Lady Macbeth and how she is beautiful?, kind, and sweet on the outside but is really, in reality a complete jerk and cold-blooded killer, though this is only known to Macbeth for the time being
40. Most sacrilegious murder hath broke ope
ReplyDeleteThe LORD's annointed temple, and stole thence
The life o' the building.
Macbeth says this. Macduff has just discovered the king's lifeless body. The "LORD's annointed temple" is the body of the king. Pretty self-explanatory. This is when Macbeth still had a conscience and was worried baout going to hell, still caring about where his soul would go for his deeds. Oh, the irony! (i.e. king thought the air of Macbeth's castle was heavenly, Porter said when he was opening the door it was like opening the doors of hell...) all kinds of irony.
"Macbetha shall never vanquished be until
ReplyDeleteGreat Birnan wood to high Dunsinane hill
Shall come against him."
ACT IV, SCENE 1
Third Apparition to Macbeth
This quote sets up Macbeth for his great downfall. It fills him with confidence due to his interpretation, and, when later in the play, is fulfilled, signals the begining of his end.
"All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, than of Glamis!
All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, than of Cawdor!
All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!"
ACT I, SCENE 3
The three witches, in order of First, Second and Third respectively, to Macbeth.
This is the big hook of the play, that sets the events in motion. It prophesizes Macbeth's ascension to power, and makes him believe in it, when he is shortly afterwards, informed that he has been made Than of Cawdor. This ultimately sets him on his path, and is one of the primary driving forces of the play.
"Things without Remedy
Should be without regard: what's done is done."
ACT III, SCENE 2
Lady Macbeth to Macbeth
Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth not to worry, and that Banquo will be taken care of, so that he shouldn't have to worry about any of it. This quote is a grim irony, when later, Macbeth sees an apperition of Banquo appear to torment him, althought Banquo is very dead.
"If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well it were done quickly..."
ACT I, SCENE 7
Macbeth aside
Macbeth is worrying over the plot to kill Duncan, and want to make sure it is done quickly, so that it will be less risky when he does it.
