Macbeth (6th period)

"Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand"

This is describing how Macbeth's guilt for the murders will not even be washed away by an ocean. It enhances the mood of the scene because it shows how Macbeths guilt and bad decisions are following him.

~Micah

The predictions of the witches drives Macbeth to do whatever it takes for him to become king and get power.

~ Micah

"We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd 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..."

This is Macbeth using a metaphor talking about how even though they killed King Duncan, the job is not done.

-Ben & Micah

Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;

Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd.

These lines reveal that Macbeth is losing his mind and he feels he won't be able to control his actions.

Collin and Brendan

Nick & Lucy

Bring forth men-children only;

For thy undaunted mettle should compose

Nothing but males. Will it not be received,

When we have mark'd with blood those sleepy two

Of his own chamber and used their very daggers,

That they have done't?

"This quote from Macbeth explains how he wants him an his family to rule the throne and makes him looked determined to do anything for power and keep his family status high.

"O, full of scorpions is my mind"

This is a metaphor as it is saying how Macbeths mind is full of worries of Fleance being alive when his father is dead. This metaphor enhances the scene because it shows Macbeths constant worries and how his actions are catching up to him.

~ Micah

Nick & Lucy

"But screw your courage to the sticking-place,

And we'll not fail. When Duncan is asleep--

Whereto the rather shall his day's hard journey

Soundly invite him--his two chamberlains

Will I with wine and wassail so convince

That memory, the warder of the brain,

Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason

A limbeck only: when in swinish sleep

Their drenched natures lie as in a death,

What cannot you and I perform upon

The unguarded Duncan? what not put upon

His spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt

Of our great quell?"

This is a quote from Lady Macbeth trying to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan even though he just became thane of Cawdor. Lady Macbeth calls macbeth weak and cowardly for not doing what he can to get power making Lady Macbeth look power hungry.

"Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;

While night's black agents to their preys do rouse"

This imagery describes the transition from night to day in that that is when all of the evil happens.

Collin and Brendan

Besides, this Duncan

Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been

So clear in his great office, that his virtues

Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against

The deep damnation of his taking-off;

And pity, like a naked new-born babe.

This is a pivitol moment for MacBeth because it shows he is having doubts about killing king Duncan and shows how nervous he is.

Drew and Delvon

 Will it not be received,

When we have mark'd with blood those sleepy two

Of his own chamber and used their very daggers,

That they have done't?

act 3 scene 5 mcbeth comes back with the daggers and said that it has been done with blood on his hands

"Ere we will eat our meal in fear and sleep

In the affliction of these terrible dreams"

This is Act 3 scene 2 where Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are realizing that Macbeth really killed Duncan and that he's really dead. Macbeth isn't really going to eat his meal in fear this is not meant to be taken seriously, figurative language.

Anye/Ava

Whiles I stood rapt in

the wonder of it, came missives from the king, who

all-hailed me 'Thane of Cawdor;' by which title,

before, these weird sisters saluted me.

Calling the sisters "weird" helps to visualize how their appearance is.

Drew+Delvon

Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here.

This reveals that Lady MacBeth doesn't believe that her husband is capable of having such a high power and she thinks that he isn't manly enough to have such a role

Aiden D & Chloe L

When we have mark'd with blood those sleepy two. Of his own chamber and used their very daggers.

This helps the reader imagine what the people who had died look like, by telling us how they have blood everywhere over them and had been killed by their own daggers

Aiden D & Chloe L

"Art not without ambition, but without

The illness should attend it"

This is a metaphor. It is comparing the greed and power hungryness associated with ambition and comparing it to illness.

Collin and Brendan

She advises him to hide their plans with innocence, but be a ‘serpent’ underneath. This was in act 1 scene 5. Lady Macbeth uses this similar to show that underneath Macbeths innocent looks he should still be sneaky and sly.

Max and Cooper

We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it.

This is a metaphor and the snake is the king and his family. It enhances the moment because it shows how important they think the prophecy's are.

-Drew+Delvon

So clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angles.

This is a simile it helps express how the person will behave in the situation.

Aiden D. & Chloe L.

unsex me here,

And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full

Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood

he is saying unsex me here in a figurative way

Delvon

Nick&Lucy

"That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan

Under my battlements. Come, you spirits

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"

This is a quote figurative language from Lady Macbeth asking for strength and to be strong like a man to be able to deal with killing Duncan. The scene is enhanced because the language she says is very peculiar it makes her sound crazy which she becomes to be.

She fears he is without the 'illness' to murder Duncan in Act 1 Scene 5

This is stating that Macbeth has a lack of courage to kill the king

Max and Cooper

Macbeth refuses to wash his hands off after killing the king. This was because he was still guilty of his actions. This shows us that Macbeth didn't want to kill someone, he just wanted to become king.
