Transcription

1 Shall sleep neither night nor day. Macbeth shall sleep no more. Keep her from rest. Sleep is considered to be peace of mind. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have no inner peace after the crimes they commit. This shows constant inner guilt and no peace of mind. The bell invites me that summons thee to heaven or hell. As I descend. Suggests that Macbeth knows he will be punished for what he has done. Connotations of hell, damnation, and inevitable punishment. Nothing is but what is not. There s no art to find the mind s construction in the face. Fair is foul, and foul is fair. There s daggers in men s smiles. Appearance and reality nothing seems like what it truly is. Deception is used to commit crimes; Macbeth deceives Duncan and the other characters. Macbeth seems to be good, however his true intentions are evil. Bleed, bleed, poor country. It weeps, it bleeds. Nation miserable. Suffering country. Macbeth s actions have caused suffering on a microcosmic scale within the castle. However, the effects of his heinous crime is shown by the macrocosmic suffering of Scotland brutality and severity of the heinous crimes means that there is chaos and destruction on a wider scale.

2 Thick night. My keen knife see not the wound it makes. Blanket of dark. Seeling night. Stars hide your fires. Darkness and concealment is used to hide and cover the murders killing of Duncan. This links to deception and hints at guilt and fear of their own actions they do not want people to know what they have done because they acknowledge that it is wrong. Pour my spirits in thine ear. Unsex me here. Make thick my blood. Take my milk for gall. Dashed the brains out. Lady Macbeth calls upon evil spirits and rejects her femininity in order to empower herself. Her desire to have masculine qualities is linked to her desire to have power this gives her a femme fatal image and she is considered to be corrupt. This is what leads to her fatal demise. Art though afeared? Coward. Are you a man? Lady Macbeth emasculates Macbeth into committing the murder of Duncan. by emasculating him, she is also empowering herself, however this seems to backfire on her later on because she is excluded from any decision making at the end and Macbeth becomes more dominant in the relationship. Borrowed robes. Strange garments. The clothes of the king are not familiar to Macbeth, this shows that he is not fit nor was he destined for the role of king it was forced by him Macbeth s adoption of the role as King is presented as unnatural and as it is not supposed to be his role links to the idea that the King is chosen by God heinous crime.

3 Will all great Neptune s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? What, will these hands ne er be clean? Perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Represents Macbeth and Lady Macbeth s guilt the guilt from the murders causes their insanity and this is what leads to their eternal guilt they are not able to wash their hands, stained by the murders they do not have a clear conscience anymore. Terror of the mind. Out, damned spot! Never shake thy gory locks at me! Fatal vision. The visions symbolise Macbeth and Lady Macbeth s guilt they cannot rid themselves of the guilt from the murders and this leads to their insanity. Macbeth s visions suggest that guilt and fear from his actions. They are also suffering from internal terror terror of the mind. Heat- oppressed brain. Infected minds. O, full of scorpions is my mind. This suggests that they are going insane because of the committed murders. They are unable to forget what they have done and their conscience will never be clean. It also implies that they suffering mentally from their actions internal terror of the mind and cannot rest psychological suffering. Unnatural deeds. Unnatural troubles. The events that have occurred are unnatural regicide suggests that a heinous crime has been committed against God. Also hints that the events are taboo subjects which go against the social norms.

4 Fatal vision. Is this a dagger? Strange images of death. Have we eaten on the insane root? This foreshadows the fatal events that are yet to occur also foreshadows Macbeth and Lady Macbeth s insanity. Infected be the air. Filthy air. The atmosphere and weather is used as pathetic fallacy to reflect the corruption of Macbeth s acts. Also suggests a stained conscience. Oh, horror, horror, horror. I am in blood. Gouts of blood. Bloody instructions. Strange images of death. Physical horror is used to emphasise the brutality of Macbeth s actions and stresses the fact that Duncan s murder was a heinous crime. Blood represents death and danger shows that killing has become easy for Macbeth progression of character. Breach in nature. Turned wild in nature. This suggests that the crimes that were committed were heinous crime and go against nature this leads to the destruction of the hierarchy and a reversal in roles Macbeth and Lady Macbeth this is what leads to the chaos and obliterating actions of Macbeth. Reversal of natural order.

5 Imperfect speakers. Prophet- like. Made themselves air. The witches are not what they appear to be. Macbeth interprets them as prophets which shows that he is wrongly accepting what they say as the truth. The misinterpretation and reliance of the witches could be seen to lead to Macbeth s downfall witches act as a catalyst to his action they may not be supernatural at all. Too full o th milk of human kindness. Art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it. Lady Macbeth believes that Macbeth is too innocent to achieve his ambitions she intents to emasculate him so that he can become corrupt enough to perform the fatal actions, such as killing Duncan. Must embrace the fate. Invisible hand. Merciful powers. Heaven knows what she has done. There is a supernatural element in the play the idea that God is constantly watching suggests that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth only fear God they know their actions are wrong and intend to conceal their actions from an omniscient God. I am afraid to think what I have done. I could not say Amen. Shows Macbeth s guilt and acknowledgement of his actions his inability to say Amen shows his internal guilt and belief that he has committed a crime against God punishment awaits him.

6 Vaulting ambition. Aside. Black and deep desires. Be so much more the man. Macbeth s unrealistic ambitions and desires can be considered to be his fatal flaw this leads to his downfall. Aside reveals his true desires to the audience and shows he is forced to choose between morality and ambition inner conflict. The woods began to move. That lies like truth. Man that s born of a woman. Macduff was ripped from his mother s womb. Initially the witches prophecy seems to be impossible however it turns out to be at trick shows their corruption. This hints that they are not in fact supernatural; they act as a catalyst to Macbeth s actions. Macbeths reliance and belief in the witches is also what makes him believe he cant be defeated deceived. Hail most worthy thane. This tyrant. Macbeth starts off as noble and worthy as his character progresses, his true self is revealed to the characters and the audience becomes a tyrant and butcher murder becomes easy for him. Gradual progression shows that he has become more evil ending contradicts the start. She has light by her continually, tis her command. Brief candle. Lady Macbeth s need for light shows her desperation to repent symbolises her internal guilt and regret also shows her desire to become good goodness is associated with light. The brief candle implies that it is too late for her to repent and she cannot undo the terrible actions must suffer the consequences.

7 Look like th innocnet flower, but be the serpent under t. False face must hide what the false heart doth know. And make our faces visards to our hearts, disguise what they are. Lady Macbeth stresses that they must look innocent but be truly evil deception of the other characters, also links to appearance and reality. The need to disguise and conceal their actions and desires is significant in order to deceive the other characters things are not what they seem prophecy. Murder and treason! Silver skin golden blood. Macbeth s murder of Duncan is considered a heinous crime Duncan associated with good and valuable materials contemporary audience would believe that the king was chosen by God worship. Macduff was ripped from his mother s womb. Med cine. Macduff is the only man who is able to defeat Macbeth because he proves the prophecy to be true he acts as the medicine of Scotland. He is considered to have cured the country and restored the natural order and hierarchy. Shakespeare resolution at the end of his plays. My soul is too much charged with blood of thine already. Murder becomes easier for Macbeth as his character progresses. Doubt at the start of the play no hesitation to kill at the end this shows his lack of guilt. The ending is used to contrast the beginning to display the drastic change in Macbeth s character.
