It also foreshadows a trio of "Tomorrows" in Act 5 scene 5. dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279158592 The characters always seem to worried about the present and want to see into the future in Macbeth]]> 2021-03-07 18:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279158592 Let every man be master of his time til seven at night dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279172885 2021-03-07 18:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279172885 The word "Nothing" dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279175343 "To be thus is nothing /But to be safely thus.

The word nothing appears many times in Macbeth, most importantly in the voice of Macbeth himself.  It often has an existential/religious meaning. Existential means concerned with ephemeral existence. It implies a fear of death, the absence of God as we have seen over and over. Macbeth feels alone in the world ....so he obsesses over the nothings in his life such as his absence of an heir, Banquo's desire to go riding with his son Fleance, Macduff's reluctance to pay him the fealty due a king.

about Banquo's son he says "Fleance, his son, that keeps him company--Whose absence is no less material to me" -- interesting choice of words -- how can something absent be material?]]> 2021-03-07 18:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279175343 Lady Macbeth also seems obsessed with absence dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279201831 first with Banquo being gone from court then she adds "Naught's had, alls spent where our desire's got without content" implying that ]]> 2021-03-07 19:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279201831 Macbeth laments his sorry state of unrest compared with the murdered Duncan...... dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279207610 We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
She’ll close and be herself whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.
But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds
suffer,
Ere we will eat our meal in fear, and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly. Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave.
After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well.
Treason has done his worst; nor steel nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing
Can touch him further.

And so of men./ Now, if you have a station in the file,/ Not i’ th’ worst rank of manhood, say ’t,/ And I will put that business in your bosoms/ Whose execution takes your enemy off,/ Grapples you to the heart and love of us,/ Who wear our health but sickly in his life,/ Which in his death were perfect. dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279222826 what do you suppose he means by the words catalogue, file, rank and gift?]]> 2021-03-07 19:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279222826 Be innocent of the knowledge, Macbeth says to Lady Macbeth dlonkevich https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279255176 to what story in the Bible is this an allusion ?]]> 2021-03-07 19:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dlonkevich/9d3pyk6nwdx80hla/wish/1279255176 We're introduced to 3 murderers instead of two.
