Act 3 Scene 4 lines Flashcards
first line of scene(scared about ghost sat in chair)
Which of you have done this?
angry at Banquo just after (What my good lord:)
Thou canst not say I did it: never shake
Thy gory locks at me.
in response to lady Macbeth questioning his manhood
Ay, and a bold one, that dare look on that
Which might appal the devil.
in response to lady Macbeth trying to tell him it is his imagination(You look but on a stool.)- Prithee see there…
Prithee, see there! behold! look! lo!
how say you?
Why, what care I? If thou canst nod, speak too. 70
If charnel-houses and our graves must send Those that we bury back, our monuments
Shall be the maws of kites.
after what quite unmanned in folly?- just after banquo disappears the first time
If I stand here, I saw him
in response to lady macbeth shaming him for acting so ridiculously (Fie for shame)1
Blood hath been shed ere now, i’ the olden time,
Ere humane statute purged the gentle weal;
Ay, and since too, murders have been perform’d
Too terrible for the ear: the times have been,
That, when the brains were out, the man would die,
And there an end
in response to lady macbeth shaming him for acting so ridiculously (Fie for shame)2 leads on from and there an end
but now they rise again, 80
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns,
And push us from our stools: this is more strange
Than such a murder is.
in response to lady macbeth reminding him his noble friends are watching( My worthy lord,
Your noble friends do lack you.)
I do forget.
Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends,
I have a strange infirmity, which is nothing
To those that know me. Come, love and health to all;
Then I’ll sit down. Give me some wine; fill full.
I drink to the general joy o’ the whole table,
(enter ghost)
And to our dear friend Banquo, whom we miss; 90
Would he were here! to all, and him, we thirst,
And all to all.
Directed to banquo when he reenters scene after toast (Avaunt quit my sight…)
Avaunt! and quit my sight! let the earth hide thee!
Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold;
Thou hast no speculation in those eyes
Which thou dost glare with!
After LM’s line (Think of this, good peers,
But as a thing of custom: ‘tis no other;
Only it spoils the pleasure of the time.)- talking to banquo begins with What man dare i dare
What man dare, I dare:
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, 100
The arm’d rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble: or be alive again,
And dare me to the desert with thy sword;
If trembling I inhabit then, protest me
The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow!
Unreal mockery, hence!
[GHOST OF BANQUO vanishes]
Why, so: being gone,
I am a man again. Pray you, sit still.
In response to LM commenting how he has ruined the meeting(You have displaced the mirth, broke the good meeting,
With most admired disorder.)
Can such things be, 110
And overcome us like a summer’s cloud,
Without our special wonder? You make me strange
Even to the disposition that I owe,
When now I think you can behold such sights,
And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks,
When mine is blanched with fear.
After all leave the banquet and LM’s line(A kind good night to all!)
It will have blood; they say, blood will have blood:
Stones have been known to move and trees to speak;
Augurs and understood relations have
By magot-pies and choughs and rooks brought forth
The secret’st man of blood. What is the night?
In response to LM telling him it is nearly the morning(Almost at odds with morning, which is which.)
How say’st thou, that Macduff denies his person
At our great bidding?
After LM’s line (Did you send to him sir?) begins with I hear it by the way…
I hear it by the way; but I will send: 130
There’s not a one of them but in his house
I keep a servant fee’d. I will to-morrow,
And betimes I will, to the weird sisters:
More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know,
By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good,
All causes shall give way: I am in blood
Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er:
Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;
Which must be acted ere they may be scann’d.
in response to Lm telling him to go to sleep, he agrees begins with Come we’ll to sleep
Come, we’ll to sleep. My strange and self-abuse
Is the initiate fear that wants hard use:
We are yet but young in deed.
