Macbeth Quote by TYLER EASTLICK https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p analysis of quote from macbeth en-us 2016-11-14 03:40:33 UTC 2023-02-08 17:18:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Templeball.png Quote 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137260165 "What man dare, I dare"  (Act 3, scene 4, line 103)

This quote originally stuck out to me when I was reading the play. It took place during one of my favorite scenes from the play, the dinner scene. This scene really intrigued me as it is the first time Macbeth begins to experience the supernatural while he's also dealing with his guilt. It creates a very interesting conflict as Macbeth goes on a rampage yelling at Banquo's ghost, whom only he can see. This causes Macbeth to say this line where he mentions how he is very brave and had the apparition appeared as anything else, he would not fear it. Yet Macbeth cannot stand the sight of Banquo's ghost as it scares him to the core, striking a nerve with his guilt. This quote is very straight forward. It is about being brave, and being up to the standards of what it is to be a "man". This is something Macbeth has struggled with, being a man, and he is constantly re-assuring him self of his own courage. This is very much represented by the quote as it relates back to those ideas of being brave and being a "man". ]]> 2016-11-14 03:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137260165 Current examples 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137261850 1.)Rosa Parks (https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/rosa-parks)

Yet again theres is another perfect example of this quote on bravery. Rosa Parks, another key figure from the civil rights movement, shows exactly what Macbeth was talking about. Macbeth speaks about being just as brave as the bravest of men, something Rosa parks embodied when she took her seat on that bus. Even in the face of adversity she remained brave and because of that, became a symbol of the civil rights movement. She showed that she was as brave as any other man, exactly what Macbeth was saying. 


2.)Dr. Martin Luther King jr. (http://www.biography.com/people/martin-luther-king-jr-9365086) 

Dr. Martin Luther King jr. lived his whole life as a shining image of this quote. He answered the call to bravery better then anyone. He led the civil rights movement and helped to create equality for black americans. This makes him very similar to Macbeth as they both speak to how brave they are, Dr. King showing a bit more humbleness letting his actions speak for his bravery. He knew the costs of being the face of the civil rights movement and despite that, still kept fighting for equality. A true embodiment of the quote and what it means to be brave and stand up to the standards of "being a man".

3.)Hillary Clinton (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/politics/dnc-speakers-sanders-clinton.html?_r=0) 

Hillary Clinton perfectly illustrates this quote. She is an example of someone being brave. Just as Macbeth notes that he is just as brave as anyone else and can take on the scariest of tasks, Clinton does the same. She made history by being the first ever female candidate to be sent forth by a major political party. She stepped up and was brave enough to not back down from the monumental task of running for president as a woman.

Here she is in training camp as the recruits go over what it takes to be a man. This directly relates back to the quote talking about what the standards of "being a man" are and the expectation to be brave. Just as macbeth says I am as brave as any other man, this song relates to the main character as she proves she too is as brave as any other man and can live up to the standards of being brave. ]]> 2016-11-14 04:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137265504 Using quote 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137265973 1.) Dinner 

I used this quote at dinner when my dad asked for someone to pass the ketchup. In my deep, heavy shakespearean accent, I replied "what man dare, I dare". Instantly I received looks of confusion and a few giggles from my siblings who find random outbursts to be hilarious. It then led to the question being asked, "what does that mean?". Then I went on to explain how it simply means what other men dare to do, I dare to do. Overall reaction would be that of confusion. 

2.) Friends 

In the middle of a conversation with my friends someone ironically dared one of my friends to do something. As if it were an instinct I yelled, "what man dare, I dare" into the crowd. I proceeded to carry out the dare, and when I came back I was met with some other shakespeare quotes from kids also in Ap Literature. However, for those who didnt know what the heck was going on, I simply stated how I am as brave as any other man and therefore am able to do what they are dared to do. 

3.) Mom

I was driving home with my mom when I decided to use my quote again. It was a quiet car ride, only the radio was playing. I then randomly yelled out my quote. My mom looked at me before asking what that meant. I told her it was for a project and that I was kind of on the mission to discover what it meant. We had a little debate on whether it meant to be stronger then any other man stepping up to the call, or to be in compliance with the standards of being a man, simply being the same as the other men. We later agreed in context it to be the later. ]]> 2016-11-14 04:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137265973 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137266982 This is a picture providing the context of the quote, the dinner scene. ]]> 2016-11-14 05:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137266982 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267110 Illustrates idea of being brave just like other men, or in this case, just like other superheroes ]]> 2016-11-14 05:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267110 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267306 Symbolizes idea of "being a man" and what that looks like. ]]> 2016-11-14 05:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267306 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267444 Another part of play with similar theme, right when Macbeth says he doesn't want to commit the murder, Lady Macbeth questions if he truly is a "man" ]]> 2016-11-14 05:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267444 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267521 Visual of the meaning of the quote, that Macbeth is as brave as any other man. ]]> 2016-11-14 05:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267521 Closing 301282 https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267582 The quote now means a lot more to me then it did before. To begin, I now realize the true meaning of the quote. Its not about being better and braver then any man before you, its simply about being just as brave as any other man. More of a self confidence boost for Macbeth to keep himself up to par with the standards of "being a man". This quote has registered pretty deep with me. It shows the idea of being just like everyone else, just as brave as any other man. This is something I fear in life becoming just like anyone else. This quote represents the idea of accepting the status being just as brave as everyone else and always trying to compare yourself to others. This ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall as he is constantly trying to "be a man" and ends up getting everyone he had ever loved killed. This quote shows this aspect of Macbeth's personality very clearly and shows me the kind of person I never want to become. ]]> 2016-11-14 05:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/301282/qdhdmr0gvt8p/wish/137267582
