“Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown, and put a barren scepter in my gripe, Thence to be wrenched from an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding.” | Macbeth:Means that he cannot have children( barren scepter, unlineal hand) |
“Thou hast it now—King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the Weird Women promised, and, I fear, thou play’dst most foully for’t.” | BanquoBanquo fears that Macbeth will pay dearly for what he has caused- suspects Macbeth |
“So shall I, love; And so, I pray, be you: Let your remembrance 30 Apply to Banquo; present him eminence,* both with eye and tongue: Unsafe the while, that we 32 Must lave our honours in these flattering streams**, 33 And make our faces vizards*** to our hearts, Disguising what they are.” | Macbeth- telling Lady Macbeth to talk kindly to Banquo at the Banquet. |
Thanks for that: There the grown serpent lies; the worm that’s fled Hath nature that in time will venom breed, | Macbeth says this after hearing that Banquo has been killed but Fleance has escaped. Macbeth sees Fleance as an antagonist because he fears what he could become. |
I hear it by the way; but I will send: There’s not a one of them but in his houseI keep a servant fee’d. I will tomorrow, (And betimes I will) to the weird sisters. More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know, By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way: I am in blood Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er: Strange things I have in head, that will to hand; Which must be acted ere they may be scann’d. (III.iv.130-140) | Macbeth- Shows his tragic flaw when he says :”For mine own good, / All causes shall give way.”Because Macbeth cannot help do things that are for his own good. |
