Discuss a symbol that represents guilt (motif) and explain the connection between the symbol and guilt (the motif).

In Act 2, Scene 2, Macbeth hears the prayer from Malcolm and Donalbain's room, and believes that he should have replied in kind to their prayer of blessing. He recalls this event to Lady Macbeth "But wherefore could I not say 'Amen'?" (Act 2, Scene 2). The symbolism of the prayer and Macbeth's inability to say "Amen" characterizes his guilt. His halting of speech in prayer symbolizes his guilt as he knows he is guilty before God who has seen his murderous deed.

The blood on Macbeth's hands represents his guilt. Macbeth says, "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red" (Act 2, Scene 2). When Macbeth sees Duncan's blood on his hands, he feels guilt and starts to question why he acted the way he did.

Identify the speaker of the following quote and explain why it is an example of dramatic irony:

“O gentle lady,

'Tis not for you to hear what I can speak: The repetition, in a woman's ear, Would murder as it fell.”

Macduff is speaking
This is an example of dramatic irony because Macduff is refusing to tell lady macbeth that King Duncan was murdered because he does not think she can handle it when really, she was the one plotting to kill him.

One symbol that is shown in Shakespeare is blood. It often appears when guilt is shown in the characters of Macbeth. For example when Macbeth says "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red"(Act 2 Scene 2). The symbolism of blood in this scene is shown because Macbeth is guilty for killing the King so he wants to get the blood off of his hands to get the guilt off his chest.

One symbol that represents the motif of guilt is the dagger that Macbeth hallucinates. He describes  "On thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, which was not so before. There is no such thing it is the bloody business which thus informs to mine eyes". The "bloody business" shows that Macbeth does not think his act of murder is clean and feels guilt.

The blood on Macbeth's hands correlate with the motif of guilt. In Act 2 Scene 2 when Macbeth sees the blood he feels bad for killing the king and regrets his decision immediately.

From the other characters’ perspectives, why does Lady Macbeth faint?

From our perspective, why does she faint?

From other characters point of view, Lady Macbeth faints because of the idea of the king dying in her house "Oh gentle lady tis not for you to hear what I speak, the repatition in women ear would murder as it fell" (Macduff Act 2 Scene 3).
From our perspective, she faints to cover Macbeth from confessing to the guards murders "Oh yet I do repent me of my fury, that I did kill them" ( Macbeth Act 2 Scene 3)

Macbeth proclaims, “One cried 'God bless us!' and 'Amen' the other; As they had seen me with these hangman's hands. Listening their fear, I could not say 'Amen,' When they did say 'God bless us!'” Macbeth could not say "Amen" when Malcom and Donalbane said "God bless us" because he felt the guilt for killing King Duncan. He felt God couldn't bless him for his murderous deed.

The blood on his hands is a symbol of the deed he can't take back. Macbeth asks the reader if an ocean will clean his hands of the blood. By this he's saying he can't undo what he did even with an ocean.

Identify the speaker of the following quote and explain what the quote is about:

“Is this a dagger which I see before me,

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?”

Speaker: Macbeth is speaking
Explain what it is about:
He's worrying if the daggers are hallucinations or if they are real, but they really hallucinations. Also, this is important because it is his contemplation of whether or not he should kill King Duncan.  It is the anguish in his soul as he contemplates the consequences of murder.  He wonders if it is fate or it he is mistaken.  This is a turning point for Macbeth.  Does his ambition get the best of him?

1. Provide an example of dramatic irony

2. Explain what it is and give details

3. Explain its effect on the reader. How do we as a reader feel?  What aspects of literature does it help us to understand?  (More on this is needed)

An example of dramatic irony would be when Duncan is talking to Macbeth and his wife at dinner and Duncan is praising and rewarding Macbeth and little does he know that Macbeth and lady Macbeth are plotting to kill him. And as the reader you are just shaking your head because you feel bad for Duncan as he is being such a nice person and all he is receiving for his kindness is a knife in the back

One symbol that represents guilt (as a motif) can include Macbeth's hallucination. "To know my deed, 'there best not know myself. Wake Duncan with thy knockinb! I would thou couldst" (Act 2, Scene 2).

Here Macbeth begins to feel guilty immediately after killing Duncan, trying to wake him up when he is already dead.
