The possibility of Evil
When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the battle’s lost and won.
Second witch to others
We’ll meet when the noise of the war is over, when one side has won and the other side has lost.
Control the mood of the story
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee:
Macbeth to himself
Do I see a knife in front of me, with its handle pointing upon my fingers? Come, let me hold you.
He is going to kill the key by the dagger. ( foreshadowing)
A little water clears of us this deed;
How easy is it, then! Your constancy
Hath left you unattended. Hark! More knocking.
Lady Macbeth to Macbeth
Few water will wash away the evidence of our guilt.
It’s so simple! You’ve lost your resolve.
Listen! There’s more rapping.
She thinks is easy to wash away the feeling of guilty just like wash away the blood on their hands, but it is not. ( contrast between them )
O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
Banquo to his son
Oh, this is betrayal! Get out of here, nice son, run, run, run!
Someday you will avenge. Oh, you bastard!
Banquo tells his son to revenge after his death, and run away now. (foreshadowing)
All causes shall give way: I can in blood
Stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more.
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.
Macbeth to Lady Macbeth
My own safety is the only important thing now. I have walked so far into this river of gore that even if I stopped now, it would be as hard to go back to being good as it is to keep killing people.
Macbeth has no turning back, so he can not stop it.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Three witches
Dual hardworking and worry
Flame combust and cauldron foam.
Foreshadowing, mood, symbol.
Be this the whetstone of your sword: let grief
Convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it.
Malcolm to Macduff
Let this wrath sharpen your blade. Transform your disaster into wrath. Don’t
