Zakee Jones   Macbeth

 

 

                  Theses: Macbeth start off being a noble warrior to a blood lust killer who will do anything to say in power.

 

 

Quote 1 in Line 1 Act 1.7

Macbeth was like hero to his people and got promoted. But his wife thought he should get more

 

So Macbeth is talking to himself in his soliloquy he is alone in a room conversing about if he

 

kill Duncan. He think over and over to him arguing in his head and with this thoughts about

 

what would be good about killing Duncan and what will be the terrible if he did it. When

 

Macbeth says line 1 act 1.7 if were done “tis done, then ‘twere well it were done quickly

 

what he means is if I got to kill Duncan to become king I got to do it quick or people might

 

get suspicious of me. At this point Macbeth is going through a catcher evaluation   change

 

and is now starting to have mix feeling. He thinking will kill Duncan to get more power then his proposition.

 

 

In Act 1.7,line 12 Macbeth is still in his soliloquy talking whets right

 

and whets wrong. Hess not really sure yet but whatever design he make is going to have an

 

effect on him, Macbeth say evenhanded justice commends th’ ingredient of our poisoned

 

chalice to our own lips. What this means is Macbeth is saying that even if I kill him and

 

become king the guilt in the end of it all will come back to him. Or he will kill and get caught

 

he might get killed himself and it will be for nothing.

 

 

Quote 3 in act 1.7 line 6 .so Macbeth is thinking im not going to kill Duncan because I have

 

everying I need a porosation, which means we will be making more money. But lady

 

Macbeth starts to get upset because if they become come king they will have even more

 

power. She start to question his man hood and Macbeth say I dare do all that amy become a

 

man who dare to more is none. And what this means is im all ready a man if any one goose

 

that far they are not a man

 

 

Quote 4 act 2.1 line  45  so in this seen   Macbeth is ready you kill Duncan he is trying to get

 

his focus has handed made up his mined but suddenly he see a dagger in front of him. He

 

douse in know if he is going crazy or not but this what Macbeth say mine eyes are made

 

fools o’ the’ other senses or else worth all the sleep what douse this mean? Is his eyes

Quote 5: act v.5 line 9  in this part Macbeth have just about killed everyone that became a

 

threat to his power. His entire servant is scared of him so he hears that the forest is coming

 

to his Castile and he is ready to fight. At the end he knows his power is coming to the end.

 

He says I have almost forgot the taste of fear. Which means I Alost forgot what fear feels

like. Will he do that much to stay in power?

 

 

 

 

Quote 6 act v.5 line 17

 

Macbeth so he gets new that his wife is dead they don’t say how but I guess that’s up to you.

 

So he says she should have died hereafter: there would have been a time for such a word. So

 

what he saying is he not pushing it a side but he cant let this news get him down his about to

 

go into war their would have been a better time to tell him this. He can’t let this be

 

conscience while he in war or it could mess up his focus.

 

 

 

            Quote 7 In the end of act 3 scene 1, Macbeth is talk to his little people that kills people for Macbeth. Macbeth at this point is forcing the murderers to find and kill banquo a soon as possible before he gets in Macbeth way.  According to act 3 scene 1 lines 140-143 Macbeth states “I’ll call upon you straight. Abide within. It is concluded. Banquo, thy soul’s flight, If it finds heaven, must find it out tonight” to the murderers. This quote means that Macbeth does not know if banquo will be going to heaven or not but he does not care he just wants Banquo dead.  As you can see now Macbeth has hit his Blood thirsty mean killer part of him. Now all he want to do is kill and kill to do anything to keep the crown ad to keep his secret of the death of King Duncan.

 

 

 

 

Quote 8 Analyze Act 2 scenes 2, after the death of king Duncan Macbeth and lady Macbeth is talking to each other . Macbeth is saying that he will not sleep any more.  the quote in act 2 scene 2 lines  40-43  “Sleep that knits up the revealed sleave of care, the death of each days life, sore labors bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, chief nourishes is life’s feast”.  This is a quote saying what he did when he was sleeping but from the context he will not sleep anymore and no more of this will ever happen. But Lady Macbeth is making him go to sleep. As you can see Macbeth is going a little big insane after killing King Duncan.

Quote 9 In Act 2 scene 2, lady Macbeth and Macbeth is still talking to each other after king Duncan’s death.  Macbeth is saying that he will never sleep again and he had just got done killing Duncan. After seeing himself kill king Duncan he is feeling guilty and Lady Macbeth is forcing him to not.

He does not care who it is because Macbeth will kill who ever it is. now Macbeth is showing his colors that he is becoming   turning to be a blood thirsty killer.
