All the quarters that they know

I' th' shipman’s card.

I’ll drain him dry as hay.

Sleep shall neither night nor day

Hang upon his penthouse lid.

He shall live a man forbid." (1.3.14-21) This quote shows how evil the witches are because a women only refused to give her one chestnut and now the witch is planning on ruining her chances of having kids, and driving her husband insane with no sleep. This shows that no one should mess with the witches or there will be deep consequences. Another example of how they are evil is by driving people to think crazy thoughts by giving them hope. The witches state, "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" (1.3.48-50) By giving these titles to Macbeth and proving that they come true because Macbeth is titles Thane of Cawdor soon after, he believes that the next step is king. It must happen because it seems only fate at this point, so he thinks horrible thoughts of murder to reach that title, which could drive a person crazy. This idea of fate and hope given to someone by the witches secretly shows how evil the witches truly are because sometimes not knowing what is to come is the best.

Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." (1.4.52-55) This quote shows duality because it brings in the connection of light and dark. Macbeth tells the stars to turn down their brightness because he does not want the light to penetrate into his soul and illuminate the dark or evil thoughts he is having about killing King Duncan. He knows he is afraid to think about it, but in the end he will end up doing the deed.

That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood.

Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between

The effect and it! Come to my woman’s breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers,

Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on nature’s mischief." (1.5.30-40) This quote shows how evil Macbeth's wife is because after she is informed that Macbeth could potentially become king, she thinks to herself that she must kill King Duncan to make her life better. She wants to have no remorse when she does and wants to feel powerful while killing him. This shows that she will stop at no length to get what is right because this is the first resolution she jumped to when she found out King Duncan was on his way to her house.

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-oppressèd brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going, And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' th' other senses, Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,

Which was not so before. There’s no such thing. It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes." (2.1.33-50) This quote shows how ruthless Macbeth has become because before he was saying how crazy his wife was for thinking about killing the king, but now he is seeing the dagger that he is going to use in his imagination. This is showing how crazy he has become in such a short time because he is also seeing blood spots on it, but it isn't real because the real dagger is sitting in his pocket, waiting to kill Macbeth.

Confounds us. Hark! I laid their daggers ready; He could not miss 'em. Had he not resembled

My father as he slept, I had done ’t." (2.2.9-13) This quote shows Lady Macbeth and her softer side because it represents how she would have killed Duncan only it reminded her of her father as he slept, so she would have felt guilty doing something like that. This shows that she does have a heart deep down and behind that evil that lives in her heart, because without it then she wouldn't have thought twice about killing Duncan even though it reminded her of someone she loved.

Lamentings heard i' th' air, strange screams of death, And prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events

New hatched to the woeful time. The obscure bird Clamored the livelong night. Some say the Earth

Was feverous and did shake." (2.3.28-36) This quote uses mostly all of the senses because it is describing the night after Macbeth killed King Duncan. They say that they felt the wind from their chimney come into their bedroom, with screams of death voices that were predicting terrible things. The animals were also making noises so it involved hearing and feeling.

Malcolm and Donalbain, the king’s two sons, Are stol'n away and fled, which puts upon them Suspicion of the deed." (2.4.24-27) Macduff, Ross, and the Old Man are talking about how out of line everything has been since Duncan's death, especially with the world around them. They then talk about who they think killed Duncan, and that it was his own sons that did it and they ran away so they are suspects. Little do they know that they were running away for their own safety, and the real killer, who is Macbeth, is still living in the town. The audience knows the sons aren't the killers but the other characters are not aware of that.

And, which is worse, all you have done Hath been but for a wayward son, Spiteful and wrathful, who, as others do, Loves for his own ends, not for you. But make amends now. Get you gone, And at the pit of Acheron Meet me i' th' morning. Thither he Will come to know his destiny. Your vessels and your spells provide, Your charms and everything beside.I am for the air. This night I’ll spend Unto a dismal and a fatal end." (3.5.6-21) This quote shows character insight because this is the first time that the readers have met Hecate, and we learn she is the leader of the witches. She is very demanding and likes to be in control when it comes to dark magic, so when something happens she doesn't know about, she makes sure to punish whoever was involved, except for the witches. She hates Macbeth because she sees him as selfish and plans to punish him at the river in hell were he will find his destiny which is a spell that will lead to his death.

Is gone to pray the holy king upon his aid To wake Northumberland and warlike Siward, That by the help of these—with Him above To ratify the work—we may again Give to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,

Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives, Do faithful homage and receive free honors. All which we pine for now. And this report

Hath so exasperated the king that he Prepares for some attempt of war." (3.6.29-39) This quote shows foreshadowing because Macbeth has just found out that Macduff has gone to England in attempt to gain help from the king. He want's to overthrow Macbeth because he is a tyrant to the land and people are becoming suspious of the murders and that Macbeth has commited them. He wants to return Scotland to the way it once was, and Macbeth doesn't like this and is ready to declare war.

Unfix his earthbound root? Sweet bodements! Good! Rebellious dead, rise never till the wood Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed Macbeth

Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath To time and mortal custom...Infected be the air whereon they ride, And damned all those that trust them." (4.1.94-141) This shows how gullible and hypocritical Macbeth is. He believes the witches in telling him that he doesn't need to worry about anyone because he will never be killed, but wants to kill Macduff just for extra measures. After the witches leave, Macbeth becomes mad and says curse to everyone that believes the witches. This is ironic because he believes the witches and everything they say, because he even killed Duncan after they told him he would be king. He cursed himself because he is a believer.

Since that the truest issue of thy throne By his own interdiction stands accursed, And does blaspheme his breed?—Thy royal father Was a most sainted king. The queen that bore thee, Oftener upon her knees than on her feet, Died every day she lived. Fare thee well! These evils thou repeat’st upon thyself Have banished me from Scotland.—O my breast, Thy hope ends here!" (4.3.104-115) This quote shows Macduff's struggle to come to terms that there will never be a king that is fit for ruling and bringing peace back to Scotland, because all men have a tendancy for lust. There is nothing he can do about this want for power most men feel, and these men include those that would be in power if Macbeth was to be murdered. He cares about his country of Scotland so much that there is no way he will ever feel safe in the country again because of the power hungery men that could potentially be ruling Scotland.

Brandished by man that’s of a woman born." (5.7.12-14) This shows that Macbeth is still being tricked into over confidence which is what Hecate wanted because even though one of the aparitions came true with the tree moving, he still had more to hold onto because he was told not to fear anyone that was born from a woman. He sees this as never happening because everyone has a mother they are born from, so he believes he is capable of anything since he is fearless.

Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother’s womb Untimely ripped." (5.8.13-16) While the witches did tell Macbeth that no man born of a woman will kill you only one that wasn't, they were very clever with how they worded it. Macbeth was so confident that this would never come true because everyone has a mother, but it was all in how you took it because there are cesections where babies are ripped out of the womb before they are naturally born, which means they were born from a woman, so Macbeth was tricked into thinking that no man would not be born of a woman.
