He has a strange look on his face as if to tell a story. He comes from Fife, where the Norwegians have invaded and are terrifying the people. The king of Norway began a bloody battle there with the help of the thane of Cawdor. Macbeth came and killed the enemy and were victorious. Now the Norwegian king wants to sign a treaty but they aren’t going to sign it unless he retreats and pays them ten thousand dollars. King Duncan says that he will not be betrayed again, and he tells the thane of Ross to announce that he will be killed. Ross says that he will get it done immediately. William Shakespeare used a lot of words that aren’t heard as much anymore. These were the main words that I had trouble with; broil, plight, haste, reeking, flout, lavish and deign. Some of these words still mean the same thing like broil, broil is to fight or brawl. I used the tools that were given to me like a dictionary, a thesaurus, and an etymology dictionary. An etymology dictionary gives you information about a word’s history. In Act 1, Scene 2 of Macbeth, the sergeant compares the battle to two tired swimmers just clinging onto one
