Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.

A

Macbeth talking to himself after killing Duncan, feeling guilt hyperbole
@Dunsinane

And munched, and munched, and munched. “Give me,”

Her husband’s to Aleppo gone, master o’ th’ Tiger;
But in a sieve I’ll thither sail,
And like a rat without a tail,
I’ll do, I’ll do, and I’ll do.

A

Witch to the other witches about stirring up a storm to maybe kill the sailors

What will you do? Let’s not consort with them.
To show an unfelt sorrow is an office

Have you considered of my speeches? Know
That it was he, in the times past, which held you
So under fortune, which you thought had been
Our innocent self. This I made good to you

How you were borne in hand, how crossed, the instruments,
Who wrought with them, and all things else that might
To half a soul and to a notion crazed
Say, “Thus did Banquo.”

The nearer bloody.

A

That has a name. But there’s no bottom, none,
In my voluptuousness. Your wives, your daughters,

The cistern of my lust, and my desire
All continent impediments would o’erbear
That did oppose my will. Better Macbeth
Than such an one to reign.

A

Malcolm talking to Macduff about his lust to see if Macduff was loyal to Scotland

Here’s a knocking indeed! If a man were porter of hell-gate, he should have old turning the key.

Knock, knock, knock! Who’s there, i’ th’ name of Beelzebub? Here’s a farmer that hanged himself on the expectation of plenty. Come in time, have napkins enough about you, here you’ll sweat for ’t.
Knock within.
Knock, knock! Who’s there, in th’ other devil’s name?

A

Porter- drunk hears knocking says stuff about the farmer and how its hot and sweaty
@Dunsinane

83
Q

That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold.
What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
Hark! Peace! It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman,
Which gives the stern’st good-night. He is about it.
The doors are open, and the surfeited grooms
Do mock their charge with snores. I have drugged their possets,
That death and nature do contend about them,
Whether they live or die.

A

Lady Macbeth talking about the guards wine and this is the time Macbeth kills Duncan

84
Q

She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
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.

A

Macbeth talking about his wife that just killed herself
describing life in metaphors
@Dunsinane

85

Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses.

@Dunsinane

86
Q

Shall sun that morrow see!
Your face, my thane, is as a book where men
May read strange matters. To beguile the time,
Look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue. Look like th’ innocent flower,
But be the serpent under ’t. He that’s coming

A

Lady Macbeth to Macbeth talking about disguising their plan and being innocent is the way to go

But screw your courage to the sticking-place,
And we’ll not fail.

A

Whoever knocks.

A

Witch saying something wicked is coming and it’s Macbeth @cavern

89
Q

Throw physic to the dogs; I’ll none of it.
Come, put mine armor on. Give me my staff.
Seyton, send out.—Doctor, the thanes fly from me.
Come, sir, dispatch.—If thou couldst, doctor, cast
The water of my land, find her disease,
And purge it to a sound and pristine health,
I would applaud thee to the very echo,
That should applaud again.—Pull ’t off, I say.—
What rhubarb, senna, or what purgative drug,
Would scour these English hence? Hear’st thou of them?

A

Macbeth to the Doctor saying he doesn’t want medicine for his wife because it won’t work, so he puts on his armor to fight
@Dunsinane

With twenty trenchèd gashes on his head,
The least a death to nature.

A

Murderer saying he killed Banqou and he’s in a dithc to Macbeth
@Dunsinane

91
Q

Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be
What thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great,
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it.

A

Lady Macbeth sending Macbeth a letter saying he’s too nice to get what he’s promised
@Dunsinane

92
Q

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,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.
Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going,
And such an instrument I was to use.
Mine eyes are made the fools o’ th’ other senses,
Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before. There’s no such thing.
It is the bloody business which informs
Thus to mine eyes. Now o’er the one half-world
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtained sleep. Witchcraft celebrates
Pale Hecate’s offerings, and withered murder,
Alarumed by his sentinel, the wolf,
Whose howl’s his watch, thus with his stealthy pace,
With Tarquin’s ravishing strides, towards his design
Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth,
Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
And take the present horror from the time,
Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives.
Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.
I go, and it is done. The bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to hell.

A

Macbeth hallucinating a sword to Duncan’s room

And bear’t before him.

A

@Birnham

Q

Fair and noble hostess

We are your guest tonight

A

Duncan to Lady Macbeth about staying there

@Dunsinane

97
Q

Why the, God’s soldier be he!
Had I as many sons as I have hairs, I would not wish them to be a fairer death:
And so his knell is knolled.

A

Siward about his son dying in battle with wounds in the front which is noble
@Dunsinane

98
Q

We will proceed no further in this business

A

As the Weird Women promised, and I fear
Thou played’st most foully for it
