Macbeth Quotes Flashcards
So foul and fair
a day I have not seen
There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face
Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires
yet do I fear thy nature
It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness
Hie thee hither,
That I may pour my spirits in thine ear
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!
look like the innocent flower
But be the serpent under’t
Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers
this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine
Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown,
And put a barren sceptre in my gripe
O, full of
Scorpions is my mind
It will have blood; they say,
blood will have blood
Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
With an untitled tyrant bloody-scepter’d,
When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again?
The night is long
that never finds the day.
Out, damned
spot! out, I say!
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.”
this dead butcher
and his fiend-like queen
I fear thou…
Played most foully for it
To be thus is nothing,
But to be safely thus
False face must hide…
What the false heart doth know
Macbeth: “And what if we fail?”
Lady Macbeth: “then we fail”
If he had not resembled…
My father as he slept I would have done it myself
Sleep no more,
Macbeth doth murder sleep
There’s daggers
In men’s smiles
Now I am…
Cabined, cribbed and confined
The repetition in a…
Women’s ear would murder as it fell
“I dare do all that may become a man
Who dares do more, is none”
“Where shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly ‘s done, when the battle ‘s lost and won”
“I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but
only vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself and falls on the other.”
“Never shake thy
gory locks at me!”
