Macbeth Flashcards
LM quotes
‘That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold’
‘O proper stuff! This is the very painting of your fear;
This is the air-drawn dagger which you said Led you to Duncan.’
‘What, will these hands ne’er be clean?’
‘Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear
And chastise with the valour of my tongue […]’
‘Was the hope drunk Wherein you dressed yourself? […]
Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire?’
The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements’
‘I have given suck, and know How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me.
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn As you have done to this.’
Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures.’
‘Say to the King I would attend his leisure For a few words.’
‘Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty.’
‘My hands are of your colour, but I shame To wear a heart so white.’
‘look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t.’
‘O, O, O!’
‘Leave all the rest to me.’
Macbeth Quotes

The firstlings of my hand […]
The castle of Macduff I will surprise, […] give to th’edge o’th’ sword
His wife, his babes, […]’

Let not light see my black and deep desires’

‘that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have’

‘Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full o’th’ milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way.’

The armed rhinoceros, or th’Hyrcan tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble.’
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day […] Life […] is but a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.’
‘We will proceed no further in this business.’
‘I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.’
Duncan quotes
Go get him surgeons
O valient cousin worthy gentleman
Nobal Macbeth
Go pronounce his present death
Greet Macbeth by his former title
Plant, labour, growing, grow, harvest
In drops of sorrows
Let me enfold thee and hold thee to my heart
Heaven (…) to cry hold hold
This castle hath a pleasant seat
Meek, angels, damnation, babe, heaven’s cherubin, his virtues
Every eye that tears shall drown the wind
I could not say amen
Wake Duncan with thy knocking, I would thou couldst
Most sacraligous murder hath broke ope the Lord’s anointed temple
His silver skin lac’d with golden blood
Was by a mousing owl hawk’d at and kill’d
Duncan’s horses (…) tis said they eat each other
Banquo Quotes
Captain (…) Banquo
Lesser than Macbeth and yet much greater
Thou shalt get kings though thou be none
My noble partner / worthy Macbeth
He seems rapt withal
Can the devil speak true
Instuments of darkness
Noble Banquo
Keep my bosom franchis’d and my allegiance clear
Let your highness command apon me
Our fears in Banquo
Fear (repeated)
Dauntless, valour, wisdom, dares, royalty of nature
Banquo [Enter the ghost of Banquo]
I saw him
Dear friend Banquo
Approach thou like the rugged russian bear
The arm’d rhinocerous, or th’hyrcan tiger,
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves shall never tremble
Hence horrible shadow
