    3. “Fair is foul and foul is fair Hover through the fog and filthy air” Speaker? Significance

    4. Pg. 9 But all’s too weak;/ For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name),/Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel,/Which smoked with bloody execution, /Like valor’s minion, carved out his passage/ Till he face the slave;. . Till he unseamed him from the nave to th’ chops,/And fixed his head upon our battlements. Speaker? Significance

    5. Pg. 13 “No more that Thane of Cawdor shall deceive /Our bosom interest. Go, pronounce his present death,/ And with his former title greet Macbeth.” Speaker Significance

    11. Pg. 23 “Two truths are told/ As happy prologues to the swellling act/ Of the imperial theme. . .This supernatural soliciting /Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, / Why hath it given me earnest of success/ Commencing in a truth?/ I am Thane of Cawdor. If good, why do I yield to that suggestion /Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair / And make my seated heart knock at my ribs / Against the use of nature? Speaker Significance

    12. Pg. 25 “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me/ Without my stir.” Speaker Significance

    16. Pg. 31 “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what that art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature; / It is too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. Thou art great, /Art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.” Speaker Significance

    17. Pg. 31 “Hie thee hither, /That I may pour my spirits in thine ear/ And chastise with the valor of my tongue / All that impedes thee from the golden round, / Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crowned withal.” Speaker Significance

    18. Pg. 33 “Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, /And fill me from the crown to the top top-full of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood./ Stop up the access and passage to remorse, . . .” Speaker Significance

    19. Pg. 35 “Your face, my thane, is as a book where men/ May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue. Look like th’ innocent flower/ But be the serpent under’t.” Speaker Significance

    20. Pg. 39 “If it were done when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well / It were done quickly. . .He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, /Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, /Who should against his murderer shut the door, / Not bear the knife myself.” Speaker Significance

    25. Pg. 43 “I have given suck, and know /How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me. I would, while it was smiling in my face, / Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums/ And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this.” Speaker Significance

    26. Pg. 43 “We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking place/ And we’ll not fail.” Speaker Significance
