Macbeth Act 3 Flashcards
B- ‘Thou hast
it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the weird women promised.’
B- ‘I fear
thou play’dst most foully for’t’
M- ‘To be thus
is nothing, but to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo stick deep.’
M- ‘Upon
my head they placed a fruitless crown’
M- ‘Who wear
our health but sickly in his life, which in his death were perfect.’
M- ‘That I
to your assistance do make love, masking the business from the common eye for sundry weighty reasons.’
M- ‘Fleance
his son, that keeps him company, whose absence is no less material to me than is his father’s, must embrace the fate of that dark hour.’
M- ‘Banquo,
thy soul’s flight, if it find heaven, must find it out tonight.’
LM- ‘Nought’s had,
all’s spent, where our desire is got without content: ‘tis safer to be that which we destroy than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.’
LM- ‘What’s
done is done.’
M- ‘We have
scorched the snake, not killed it.’
LM- ‘Sleek o’er
your rugged looks; be bright and jovial among your guests tonight.’
M- ‘O, full of
scorpions is my mind, dear wife.’
M- ‘Be innocent
of the knowledge, dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed’
M- ‘Come, seeling night,
scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day’
M- ‘Things bad begun
make strong themselves by ill’
M- ‘Then comes my fit again:
I had else been perfect’
M- ‘Never shake
thy gory locks at me’
LM- ‘The fit is momentary;
upon a thought he will again be well’
LM- ‘Are you
a man?’
LM- ‘You have displaced
the mirth, broke the good meeting, with most admired disorder’
LM- ‘At once,
good night: stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once’
M- ‘It will have
blood; they say, blood will have blood’
M- ‘Now I am
bent to know, by the worst means, the worst’
M- ‘I am in blood
stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o’er’
Hecate- ‘Loves
for his own ends, not for you’
Hecate- ‘He shall
spurn fate, scorn death and bear his hopes ‘bove wisdom, grace and fear’
