| Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scorn/ The power of man, for none of woman born/ Shall harm Macbeth | second Apparition, MacbethNobody can harm him |
| Horrible sight! Now I see ’tis true,/ For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon me/ And points at them for his. | Macbeth, apparitionsBanquo’s children will be king after him |
| All is the fear and nothing is the love, / As little is the wisdom, where the flight/ so runs against all reason. | Lady Macduff, RossHe’s just afraid and doesn’t love us. He cares about the living. |
| Then the liars and swearers are fools, for there are liars and swearers enough to beat the honest men and hang up them. | Son, Lady macduff.He thinks his father is a liar |
| I have done no harm. but i remember now/ I am in this earthly world, where to do harm/ Is often laudable, to do good sometime / Accounted dangerous folly. | lady macduff, messengersyou get punished for doing good. |
| That which you are, my thoughts cannot transpose. / Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. ? though all things foul would wear the brows of grace. / yet grace must still look so. | Malcolm, MacDuffMe doubting you can’t change who you are. Everybody tries to look like a good person. |
| Not in the legions/ of horrid hell can come a devil more damned/ In the evils to top Macbeth | Macduff, Malcolmnobody can be as worse as Macbeth. |
| Nay, had I power, I should / Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, / uproar the universal peace, confound/ All unity on earth. | Malcolm, Macduff I would destroy the bonds that make people good. |
| Alas, poor country, / almost afraid to know itself. it cannot/ be called our mother, but our grave, where nothing/ but who knows nothing is once seen to smile. | Ross, Malcolm and Macduff.Scotland is a source of death instead of life. |
| Would I could answer/ this comfort with like. But I have words/ That would be howled out in the desert air, / Where hearing should not latch them. | … |
| I cannot but remember such things were/ that were most precious to me. Did heaven look on/ And would not take their part? sinful Macduff/ they were all struck for thee! | Macduff, Malcolm, RossIt was for my sinfulness they were killed |
