In the first part of the quote either macbeth or lady macbeth is talking to him/herself saying that Duncan should be knocked out or fainted when they try to kill him so it does not seem that bad and macbeth will not have guilt over it.

So firstly is “dagger of the mind” real or is it only “of the mind” Macbeth tries to touch it but it is not possible for him to hold it or feel it, which makes Macbeth affectionately inquired the cause of his distress.

Like when Macbeth kills Duncan, So the “dagger of the mind” is basically persuading a person into attempting their most violent intents, desires and insanity.

Lady Macbeth has just heard an owl shriek. in keeping with medieval folklore, this foretold an imminent death. She compares the owl to a bellman, the town announcer who went about town ringing a bell and making announcements. She describes the bellman as “fatal” as a result of the crier usually proclaimed deaths. The bellman would bid good-night to anyone he passed within the road.

This is telling us that Macbeth shall not wake Duncan from his sleep as he would not be able to murder the King and would be caught for treason and attempt of murder of the King.

This quotation simply means that Macbeth cannot sleep well anymore, due to the fact that he feels guilty about murdering the king.  By stating "Wicked dreams abuse the curtained sleep" is indicating that even if he does fall asleep, he is haunted in his dreams, which makes him feel "abused".

This passage shows conflict within Macbeth. Juxtaposition is used when he states, "Words to the heat of deeds cold breath gives", as heat and cold is the complete opposite thing. This is to show that Macbeth is fighting himself as he is having a conflict between his ambition for power, and his guilt. Moreover, by saying that "Where I threat, he lives" means that while Macbeth is talking about killing Duncan, Duncan is alive, however, by using the word "while", it shows that his living is temporary, as Macbeth will be murdering him.

This signifies how Macbeth is starting to lose his mind due to guilt even before the murder is committed, which speaks a lot about his character. It shows how even though he feels killing King Duncan would be the easiest way to get rid of him and become the king himself, he still understands that what he is doing is wrong, and that there will be consequences to his actions. The handle being towards his hand signifies that he will be a murderer.

When Macbeth says this, he is trying to say that all the water in the ocean could not wash the blood clean off his hand. Not only that but if he was to try to wash his hands with the water of the ocean, the ocean would change color to pink or red. This is a hyperbole which means that the murder is having a huge affect on Macbeth's conscience and even when he washes the blood off, he will still feel like the blood is on his hands.

The Quote here show's macbeth is dreaded with paranoia and going slightly insane. He's confused whether the dagger which he saw in front of him is real or a hallucination in "Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation,". In "Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?"

This is when Lady Macbeth says: 'The sleeping and the dead are but as pictures; 'tis the eyes of childhood  that fears a painted 🤬.'

By stating this, Macbeth is trying to say that even the ocean won't be able to wash off all the blood on his hands from killing the king. Here, hyperbole is used, as no person can have so much blood on their hand that the water from the ocean can wash off, as the ocean is the largest water source. By using this technique, the audience can see that Macbeth can see that what he has done, is something so big and terrible. Moreover, when Macbeth says "making the green on red", he indicating that the blood on his hand will turn Neptune's ocean red, which once was green. This suggests that his guilt and his terrible commitment is contagious, as anything that he touches will turn into something evil and cruel.

What Macbeth means by this line is I can still see you, and I see blood splotches on your blade and handle that weren’t there before. During this scene Macbeth was hallucinating a dagger infant of him covered in bloody spots. The imaginary dagger that he is hallucinating leads him to king Duncan.

This quote is summarizing the soliloquy that Macbeth is saying right before the murder of Duncan in Act 2 scene 1 imaging how the murder of king Duncan will commence after being shown the vision of the dagger. It is discussing the night fall upon Macbeth’s household, the night relating to the depth of the dark lurking about due to the fact that the quote states, “witchcraft” which during the time is related to the evils in the world. In this quote, “witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate's offerings” is approached in more of a formal manner instead of the happiness that is conveyed with the word “celebrates”. This was to represent the dark times that would be approaching Macbeth as the murder is approached in a more serious tone than friendly. In the Renaissance, hecate was viewed as the goddess of the night, the “pale” representing the color of the moon. This is visual imagery, as the witches are praying or “celebrating” the offerings that Hecate as the death of Duncan took place was also foreshadowing Macbeth’s encounter with Hecate later in the play. Shakespeare continues the quote with “withered murder” discussing the murder of Duncan, where Macbeth is imagining how it will play out. The sentinel, is represented as a guardian, specifically to Duncan as a, “wolf” which is consider to be a protector, who  alerts his master of the murder.

Macbeth is able to see the dagger with the handle pointed towards him which makes him believe that this dagger is meant for him to hold and shall be the murder weapon used. The dagger is floating in the air which is something from the supernatural and the dagger had possibly been placed there by the 3 witches to push Macbeth into killing Duncan as soon as he has the opportunity to, and when seeing this dagger he feels like this is his sense of fate to hold the dagger which wants to be held hence having the handle placed towards him, meaning he is the one on the side of the dagger where he will be killing and the person on the other side of the dagger will be the one being killed.

Juxtaposition is the key technique used in this quote, with the contrasts of "heat of deeds" and "cold breath". This could show that Macbeth's loyal, kingly self is fighting over his villainous, murderous exterior. He is having an internal conflict. It could also been seen as Macbeth being confused or in a state of unknowing, since his "cold breath" is giving the words of the "heat of deeds". Cold has connotations of pain, loneliness and discomfort and is often linked to evil creatures or villains (often being described as cold-blooded) whereas heat has connotations of extremity and strength. A cunning, cruel being is committing extreme crimes.

Macbeth hallucinates a blood-stained dagger, whose handle is pointing towards his hand. He tries to grab it but is unable to do so. Macbeth speaks to himself that the dagger is created is his mind and it looks exactly like the one he wants to use in his mission to kill king Duncan. The dagger signifies the bloody deed, that Macbeth plans to undertake. Macbeth being a weak character was suffering from inner chaos and the dagger represents this. When he sees this dagger he feels as if it is his fate to kill king Duncan and become king by using this exact murder weapon. As the dagger was floating we can link this to the supernaturals due to the fact that things don't normally float, but witches can make anything happen, ultimately the dagger was a part of the curse.

In this quote, Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth that part of the murdering is her fault, as she says, "My hands are of your color". This phrase means that her hands are bloody too, where blood is a symbolism of guilt. This is showing that despite the fact that she didn't physically kill Duncan, she knows that she is involved in this. However, by stating that "but I shame to wear a heart so white", is opposing her previous point. The reason for this is because white has a connotation of purity and innocence, which is highlighting the fact that she does not feel guilty unlike Macbeth. From this, the audience can see that Lady Macbeth accepts that she was part of this act, but does not feel guilty, which shows her cruelty, and strong mindset, in contrast to Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth answers Macbeths question about if she heard a noise while he was doing the deed of murdering Duncan, and replies through the use of auditorial imagery stating that the only sound heard was the sound of the owl screaming and crickets cry which basically summarizes that the only sound heard was the sound of the natural sound nature produces making it a normal sound that people hear on the daily.

This blood that Macbeth sees on the dagger is being hallucinated after he draws his own dagger, foreshadowing Duncans blood in a way. Using this exact weapon, Macbeth is about to commit a very bloody murder, just like in his hallucinations a mans blood will be on this dagger, that man being king Duncan. Macbeth is portrayed as a very weak character, he is experiencing so much chaos and anxiety before committing this murder that his mind is starting to play tricks on him. This links back to the blood imagery as it symbolizes death (kind Duncans murder) but also now foreshadowing guilt to the crime Macbeth later commits.

From the key line in this quote, "the fatal bellman" we can tell that owls are like tattle tales, or an alarm which gives off some sort of signal. We can tell that it is giving off the signal of death from the context of the dialogue, however it is made clearer by the phrase "gives the sterns't good-night" and how the owl is described as "fatal". The owl is signaling an eternal rest of an important person. Overall, this quote is stating that Lady Macbeth knows that the deed is done, since the owl, the "fatal bellman", has "shrieked", signaling ones "sterns't good-night", otherwise known as death.

By stating "A little water clears us of this deed" is indicating that Lady Macbeth thinks that by simply just washing their hands with water, their responsibility in this crime will be washed away as well.

From this firs part of the quotation, 'It was the owl that shrieked, the fatal bellman" we get the perception that the owls are like an alarm giving off a signal. Lady Macbeth describes the bellman as “fatal” because the crier often announced deaths. The bellman would bid good-night to anyone he passed in the street, for Duncan this good night comes from the owls(usually announcing death) in a way of saying that he won't be waking up in the morning, this will be his last night. The owl’s shriek is a stern, or cruel, good-night to Duncan since it’s forecasting his death which is seen in the second part of this quotation.

The reference to great Neptunes ocean represents water, and how even with all the oceans water his hands covered in blood will still not wash off hence always carrying this guilt of murder on his hands and by trying to clean his hands in the big ocean full of water the ocean will turn red of Duncans blood and the blood now symbolises Macbeths guilt foreshadowing his guilt that he will feel which will lead him to intense paranoia and hallucinations of the murder played over and over in his head throughout the rest of the play.

In the first part of this quote, "My hands are of your color" one understands that Lady Macbeth has understood that she played a big role in the murder of King Duncan, even thought she may not have been the one to stab him, she manipulated her husband into doing so. By saying that her hands are of the same color she tries to calm down Macbeth and take some of his guilt onto her. You can see in this part that both of them are now feeling quilt towards their actions. In the second part of the quote, "but I shame to wear a heart so white." one can understand that only Macbeth is feeling the guilt, Lady Macbeth feels none at all. Connotations of the colour white are purity, innocence &c, unlike Macbeth, she feels no guilt in her heart. She owns that her hands are just as red/guilty as his, but she would be ashamed to have such a pure/cowardly heart to go with them.

Macbeth hears knocking and makes him clear that he wants Duncan to wake back up as he feels quilt for his actions. Macbeth killed a man that was nothing but kind to him, all due to greed in wanting more and more power.

We can assume both of these characters were under control of the curse linking back to the supernaturals. Macbeth regrets his previous actions and wishes he could return to a time where Duncan would wake from his slumber.

In this quote, Lady Macbeth is stating that someone which is asleep is that same as someone which is dead. However, the main point of this quote is to mock Macbeth and emasculate him yet again. She states that "sleeping and the dead are but as pictures", meaning that someone which is temporarily asleep is no different to someone who is eternally asleep, and in saying "'tis the eyes of childhood that fears a painted 🤬", she calls Macbeth childish for being afraid of the punishment for his crime, represented by the 🤬.

The "dagger" itself in this quote is a symbol that represents Macbeth's conscience toward this bloody plan. When he states out "Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation" he knows the dagger, is the feeling of Macbeth now fulfilled with ambition. One more symbol comes after when he says "And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood," shows how Macbeth's mind is filled with ambition that he is definitely thinking of bloody murder to be a King. In addition, this dagger also represents Macbeth's character development of him being good hearted before which is shown in clean dagger but he now is blood thirsty and ready to kill Duncan to usurp the throne that shows in the bloody dagger.

The quote saying "wicked dreams abuse the curtained sleep" does not only means how Macbeth would feel guilty for this bloody and despicable murder that he won't forget about this and remain as a trauma which would lead him to not have a safe sleep, but also means he has to prepare for the revenge and the afters.

This quote is from Macbeths monologue… as he is planning to commit the murder that night he is directed towards a dagger. The handle of the dagger is pointed at him indicating that Macbeth should grab the dagger. The dagger is a symbol of Macbeths conscience and state of mind towards the murder, especially because it is the weapon, he will be using to kill Duncan. In the text Macbeth states …. “I can still see you, and I see blood splotches on your blade and handle that weren’t there before.” He then realizes that the dagger is a symbol towards the murder he is about to commit.

As Macbeth says, "I see thee still", this represents him seeing King Duncan resting in his bed at night. "and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood which was not so before." This could mean that the dagger he used to murder King Duncan is first mentioned as an indication for him to use. Macbeth soon uses the dagger to murder Duncan and "gouts of blood which was not so before" could mean that loads of blood has been emplaced from Duncan's body which has not been there before.

Here, Shakespeare is using a form of juxtaposition which is an act or instance of placing two elements close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare or contrast the two, to show similarities or differences. An example from the quote for it is "words to the heat of deeds cold breath gives" which basically means that Macbeth is saying that  While he talks about his plan, Duncan lives. Speaking cools the heat of my willingness to act. He wants a distraction from the crisis he is going to confront.

This quote is spoken after Macbeth has killed Duncan, over here lady Macbeth is ordering Macbeth to wash the blood & guilt off of his hand. Symbolizing to wash off this filthy deed he just did. She then questions him asking why he would bring the daggers out of Duncan's room. She states that he should have left it their and smear the blood from the daggers upon the sleepy guards to frame them of Duncan's murder. Hence the evidence wouldn't be directed towards Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. This quote indicates how Lady Macbeth cares more about not getting caught more than guilty for  the murder that she had taken part in. During this act its also evident the Macbeth is drowning in guilt... most evident in the line... "I’ll go no more: I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on ’t again I dare not. Stating that he is drowning in regret at that moment is too feared to face it.

Indicating that she only cares about not getting caught. Macbeth then states... " Wake Duncan with thy knocking: I wouldst I couldst.'' Here he wishes that the knocking could wake Duncan back up … but that would impossible.

Here Lady Macbeth states...Let’s go back to our bedroom. A little water will wash away the evidence of our guilt. It’s so simple! Implying that if they wash off blood from their hands it will take off all the guilt, manipulation & deceptiveness in this crime/murder.

Hearing the owl scream and the crickets cry could be symbolic of the suspense and worry building up in Lady Macbeth as she awaits Macbeth's return from Duncan's chamber. As afore mentioned, the owl's cry signals a noble death. Crickets, or more accurately their melodies, are associated with silence. Lady Macbeth heard that Duncan has been killed however Macbeth has not yet returned. It could also be noted that it is nature reacting to the dreadful deed, which could be used to foreshadow how eventually, everyone turns against them, even nature. This may also link to the way in which Macbeth was killed at the end, where an army marched towards him, hiding as trees.

During shakespearean times, the owl would represent an omen of death, considering it is awake to the night thus relating to the darkness of death. This quote was a symbolic representation of the death of  Duncan, how the owl, the omen of death, screams as a warning that the king of Scotland has fallen.

This quote is to foreshadow the guilt that both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth will have after the death of Duncan. Where the retire of Macbeth to his chamber is to represent how he soon goes insane, not being able to sleep properly. This is due to the fact that the ghost of Duncan haunts him, with the thoughts of Murder making Macbeth go insane. When lady Macbeth states a little water will clear of us this deed is to imply that the blood that is metaphorically stained on their hands from the death of Duncan will be washed away with a little water. However, this is further foreshadowing the insanity that Lady Macbeth has of constantly washing her hands to get rid of the the blood that is not there.

In this quote, when Lady Macbeth says "My hands are of your colour", she indicates that she is just as guilty and responsible as Macbeth for the murder of Duncan, not because she was the one to hold the dagger, but because she had manipulated and belittled Macbeth until he caved in and murdered the King. In the second part of the quote, where Lady Macbeth says “But I shame to wear a heart so white”, she says that she would be ashamed to have a heart to white/cowardly to bemoan the crime committed (alluding towards Macbeth's inability to face the crime he has committed), further manipulating him by questioning his manhood and courage.

-In this quote, when Lady Macbeth says “Retire we to our chamber. A little water clears us of this deed.”, she tries to show Macbeth that he is overreacting about the murder, and that with a little water, the blood on his hands will wash away along with the responsibility for the crime. She truly believes that it will take very little effort to rid them of the guilt and responsibility of the murder and severely underestimated the effect that the murder will have on them after they “retire” to their chambers.
