The only thing that's us urging Macbeth to commit murder is his ambition/desire Macbeth is torn between what he wants o desperately and his loyalty to Duncan and his morals MACBETHThink upon what hath chanc'd; and, at more time, The interim having weigh'd it, let us speak Our free hearts each to other. Macbeth is saying to Banquo let's talk about this later and express our true feeling (Macbeth can't let it go) Letting audience know there is more to come DUNCANThere's no art To find the mind's construction in the face: He was a gentleman on whom I built An absolute trust.—ndvgd You can't tell what a persons thinking by their face (You can't tell they're a traitor) Ironic that Macbeth will gain the previous owners title and is thinking the same thoughts MACBETHLet not light see my black and deep desires: sdkhgthvfg Macbeth doesn't want people to hear of what he wants to do He is planning and thinking and doesn't want anyone to find out what he's thinking Sense of a little shame - needs someone to tell him it's ok, lady Macbeth MACBETHStay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more: jdfbg Macbeth interested in what he was hearing Beginning to show that the witches were telling him what he wanted to hear Macbeth becoming obsessive with power WITCHESLesser than Macbeth, and greater.

Lady Macbeth lives vicariously through her husband Not evil but would rather see her husbands greatness Loves her husband wants those him achieve success Had to find a way to tell him that the qualities that will enable him to kill Duncan, are more important Naive because she pg29 doesn't think the deed hold much consequence and thinks that killing someone will not bring darkness on her "What need we fear... Puts on fearless woman charade so Macbeth believes in her (emasculates herself) makes Macbeth listen herself as a person with authority in quotes Simple mind, doesn't see the reasons why not that Macbeth does LADY MACBETH Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't .

Leave all the rest to me.; Promises Macbeth that she will take care of the trouble when she just drugs the guards and gets Macbeth to kill Duncan LADY MACBETH I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry. Lady Macbeth already afraid of what she and Macbeth have done The realisation of the enormity Of what she has done is so unbearable. Her soul has been stained She is shaming Duncan saying that she would kill Duncan if she had the chance he did now MACBETH If we should fail? Macbeth is having second thoughts about killing Duncan and doesn't have much faith that it will be ok He sees more of the consequence to be negative He looks to his wife for reassurance and confidence and has started to lean on her for the power to do what she wants him to do He has doubt in the plan and wants reassurance from the woman he trusts Not concerned with whether its the right thing to do, he only cares if he fails MACBETH False face must hide what the false heart doth know. Starts becoming deceiving Saying he now needs to put on a show and not let anyone see what he is really doing So foul and fair a day I have not seen. BANQUO. Introducing the evil in the play and the presence of evil MACBETH To our own lips. He's here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed: then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Macbeth saying he should close the door in his murderers face not murdering him himself Showing that Macbeth does have a conscience and that he's wrestling with it He becomes guilty when he chooses to ignore his conscience MACBETHWe will proceed no further in this business: Macbeth decided not to kill Duncan King just honoured him and he wants to enjoy his honours while they last Macbeth realised what he was thinking was horrible and decided he wouldn't kill the king, realized the consequences MACBETHI think not of them:
Macbeth begins to lie, even to his friends MACBETH Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee:— I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Macbeth beginning to hallucinate MACBETH This is a sorry sight. Macbeth recognising how evil what he's done is MACBETH These deeds must not be thought After these ways; so, it will make us mad. Lady Macbeth saying overthinking their actions will make them mad MACBETHI heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep,"—the innocent sleep; xcj,hvbxcjhbvhjx Realises he will no longer be calm he won't be the same again MACBETH Go get some water, And wash this filthy witness from your hand.— Saying as she washes his hands it's like he is no longer evil, showing lady Macbeths naivety MACBETHI am afraid to think what I have done; Look on't again I dare not.

[Knocking within.] MACBETH Good morrow, noble sir! xcffbcvbncz Referred to as noble sir MACBETH Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself; xdbcvbcv Referred to as fiend (devil) MACBETH Then yield thee, coward, xcbcvbcz MACBETH Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had liv'd a blessed time : Macbeths shows extreme regret He has realised the full implications of his actions He believes if he had died before he killed Duncan he would have died a great and honourable man BANQUOThou hast it now,—king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the weird women promis'd; and, I fear, Thou play'dst most foully for't; yet it was said It should not stand in thy posterity; But that myself should be the root and father Of many kings. If there come truth from them,— Banquo suspecting foul play MACBETHUpon my head they plac'd a fruitless crown, And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, Thence to be wrench'd with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. If't be so, For Banquo's issue have I fil'd my mind; For them the gracious Duncan have I murder'd; Angry that he gave up so much and he can't even pass on his crown to his descendants Trying to put all doubts out of his mind that he won't be king Becomes driven by his emotions Deluded about his invincibility, thinks about how he can change the future MACBETH Where our desire is got without content: Realising they got what they wanted but still aren't happy MACBETH O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife! Macbeth is extremely tormented by his actions and has now become a murderer MACBETH It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood: Once you kill you have to keep killing to stay alive MACBETH We are yet but young in deed. Macbeth knows there is more to come MACBETH Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff; Beware the Thane of Fife.—Dismiss me:—enough. Apparition about needing to use his wisdom WITCHESBe bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born WITCHESBe lion-mettled, proud; and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are: Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be, until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him. LENNOX May soon return to this our suffering country Under a hand accurs'd! MACBETH I have liv'd long enough: my way of life Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf; And that which should accompany old age, As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. Macbeth realizing he's going to die a sad and tortured man MACBETH. She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word.— To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. Macbeths wisdom realizing that what he has won was never going to give him what he wanted
