Macbeth Dagger Soliloquy Flashcards
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 oppressed brain?
I see thee yet…
in form as palpable as this which now I draw.
Thou marshall’st me…

And such an…

Or else worth…
all the rest; I see these still
And on thy blade…
and dudgeon gouts of blood, which was not so before
There is no such thing:
It is the bloody business which informs this to mine eyes.
Now o’er the…
one half-world nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse the curtain’d sleep
witchcraft celebrates…
pale Hecat’s off’rings; and wither’d Murder
Alurum’d 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.

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 hell
Hear it not…
Duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or hell
