Macbeth

• ‘So foul and fair a day I have not seen’
• ‘Banquo, thy soul's flight, if it find heaven,mus find it out tonight'
• ‘We have scorched the snake, not killed it’
• ‘Be innocent of the knowledge my dearest chuck’
• From this moment on the very firstlings of my heart will be the very firstlings of my hand’
• 'The castle of Macduff I will surprise... His wife,his babes and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line’
• ‘I cannot taint with fear’
• ’I have almost forgot the taste of fears; The time has been, my senses would have cooled To heat a night shriek’
• ‘She should have died hereafter’
• ‘To be king stands not within the prospect of belief’
• ‘Who’s horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs against the use of nature?’
• ‘False faith must hide what the false hearth doth know’
• ‘First I am his kinsmen and his subject’
• ‘Ride this afternoon?’ ‘Goes Fleance with you?’
• ‘We will proceed no further in this business’
• ‘This is a sorry sight’
• ‘Will all of Great Neptunes ocean wash this blood clean of my hands’
• ‘Macbeth shall sleep no more’
• ‘I could not say Amen’
• ‘Wake Duncan with the knocking,I wish thoust could’
• ‘Is this a dagger which I see before me’
• ‘It is the bloody business’
• ‘O full of scorpions is my mind dear wife’
• ‘Thou canst say I did it, Never shake thy glory locks at me’
• ‘Blood will have blood’- Macbeth realises here that there will be consequences to his actions as the repetition of the noun ‘blood’ implies his inherent acknowledgment to his sins
• ‘We have scorched the snake not killed it’
• ‘Stars hide your fires let not light see my black and deep desires’
• ‘I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent but only vaulting ambition’
• ‘To be thus is nothing but to be safely thus’
• ‘I am in blood stepped In so far’
• ‘I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked/Give me my armour’
• ‘I will not yield to kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet’
• Macbeths is a tragic hero who’s hamartia is in his hubris,his love for his wife and his naivety in believing the witches- His excessive pride leads him to becoming weak, His love for his wife leads him to commit acts that would deem as being manly to her and his naivety makes him fulfil the witches prophecies without letting nature take its course
