MACBETH

If it were done when tis done, then twere well

It were done quickly.
If the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here.
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
Wed jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
To our own lips. Hes here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked newborn babe,
Striding the blast, or heavens cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on th' other.
LADY MACBETH

He has almost supped. Why have you left the chamber?








Completed dinner
By committing these crimes were are
teaching others to commit violence,
and by doing so it will come back and
plague us who taught it to them.
Forces us to drink from the
poisonous cup that we serve to
others.
Has been humble
His legacy will stay when he dies like if angels were
playing trumpets against the injustice of his
murder. Use of imagery to show that Macbeth is
thinking that there is no reason he should be King
because King Duncan is an incredible King.
No incentive
Send the news of the horrible
murder to everyone.
Plan to murder
King Duncan
Catch up Like
a net
Termination
MACBETH

Hath he asked for me?

LADY MACBETH

Know you not he has?

MACBETH

We will proceed no further in this business.

He hath honored me of late, and I have bought

Golden opinions from all sorts of people,

Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,

Not cast aside so soon.

LADY MACBETH

Was the hope drunk

Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since?

And wakes it now, to look so green and pale

At what it did so freely? From this time

Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard

To be the same in thine own act and valor

As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that

Which thou esteemst the ornament of life,

And live a coward in thine own esteem.

Letting I dare not wait upon I would,

Like the poor cat i' th' adage?

MACBETH

Prithee, peace:

I dare do all that may become a man;

Who dares do more is none.

LADY MACBETH

What beast was t, then.


We are not going to kill King Duncan, he
has given me honours and I have good
opinions from many people which
should be enjoyed not ruined so soon.
Many Rhetorical
Questions are used by
Lady Macbeth to make
Macbeth feel cowardly
and pathetic.
Metaphor used to show
that Macbeth is like what
this story refers to.
Imagery-
Woken up
green and
pale in fear.
Are you afraid to act in your
desire to take the crown you
desperately want?
Please stop
He is saying I am all a man can
be, anymore is not even a man.
That made you break this enterprise to me?

When you durst do it, then you were a man;

And to be more than what you were, you would

Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place

Did then adhere, and yet you would make both.

They have made themselves, and that their fitness now

Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know

How tender tis to love the babe that milks me.

I would, while it was smiling in my face,

Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums

And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you

Have done to this.

MACBETH

If we should fail?

LADY MACBETH

We fail?
But screw your courage to the sticking-place,

And well not fail. When Duncan is asleep--

Whereto the rather shall his days hard journey

Soundly invite himhis two chamberlains

Will I with wine and wassail so convince

That memory, the warder of the brain,

Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason

A limbeck only: when in swinish sleep

Their drenchd natures lie as in a death,

What cannot you and I perform upon

The unguarded Duncan? What not put upon

His spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt

Of our great quell?
Use of Rhetorical Questions to belittle Macbeth for trying to
back out of his promise. Lady Macbeth is saying- What
animal was it that made this promise to me because a real
man would not lie or back down. When you follow through
on your promise then you are a man and if you do what you
promised before then you are even more a man.
Imagery used to show how far
Lady Macbeth would go to keep
her promises. This then puts down
Macbeth because he has not done
the same.
Murder of King Duncan
Drinking party-
celebrations
If we stick to the plan we cannot fail. When
Duncan is asleep which he will do due to his
long journey- I will get his 2 bedchamber
attendants so drunk that they will not have any
recollection of tonight so we can get to Duncan
and then we can blame all on them.
With wine and celebrations the memories of the 2
bedchamber attendants will go up in smoke through
the chimneys of their brains. Imagery used to show
the reader how drunk they will be made to not
remember such a horrendous act.
Murder
When they lie asleep like pigs, so drunk theyll be dead to the
world. Simile used to compare the drunken servants to pigs;
this is to show how bad the servants will look (guilty)

MACBETH

Bring forth men-children only,

For thy undaunted mettle should compose

Nothing but males. Will it not be received,

When we have marked with blood those sleepy two

Of his own chamber and used their very daggers,

That they have done t?

LADY MACBETH

Who dares receive it other,

As we shall make our griefs and clamor roar

Upon his death?

MACBETH

I am settled, and bend up

Each corporal agent to this terrible feat.

Away, and mock the time with fairest show.

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.



Macbeth is saying to Lady Macbeth to only ever
have male children because her fearless spirit should
only create something masculine, nothing delicate.
Temperament
Produce
Will it not be acknowledged once we cover
the servants in Duncans blood and
murdered him with their daggers that they
were the murderers?
Who would believe any different, we will
be grieving loudly with everyone else
when we hear of his death.
I have decided, I will use everything in
me to kill King Duncan. Go; pretend to
be the friendly hostess. Hide with a
pleasant cover but with an evil heart.
