Macduff Flashcards
His title
Thane of Fife
His announcement of Duncan’s death
Do not bid me speak
What he wishes to return to
Wholesome days
His reaction to Duncan’s death
O horror, horror, horror, / Tongue nor heart cannot conceive, nor name thee
His reaction to the murder of his family
All my pretty ones? / Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
His going against what Macbeth asked of him
How say’st thou that Macduff denies his person / At our great bidding?
His decision to kill Macbeth
Front to front / Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself; / Within my sword’s length set him
What he calls Macbeth
Turn, hell-hound, turn
Him confronting Macbeth
Tyrant, show thy face! If thou be’st slain, and with no stroke of mine, / My wife and children’s ghosts will haunt me still
Macbeth’s arrogance
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield / To one of woman born
Revealing of his power
Macduff was from his mother’s womb / Untimely ripped
Macbeth’s reaction to the revelation
Thou hast harped my fear
Macbeth’s determination in his end
Lay on Macduff, and damned be him, that first cries, ‘Hold, enough’
