• "who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him"(Lady Macbeth)
• "unseamed from the naive to the chops"(Macbeth)
• "Macduff was from his mothers womb untimely ripped"(Macduff, Ac 5 Sc 8)
• "plucked my nipple from its boneless gums, and dash'd its brains out"(Lady Macbeth)
• "savagely slaughtered" and "he has killed me mother" (Macduff's son)
• "is this a dagger I see before me"
