Macbeth (character) Pink and Yellow Quotes

A1S2

Brave Macbeth

Valour’s minion

O valiant cousin, worthy gentleman

A1S3

So foul and fair a day I have not seen

My noble partner

Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?

If chance will have me king, why chance may crown me without my stir

Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day

A1S4

The Prince of Cumberland: that is a step on which I must fall down, or else o’erleap, for in my way it lies

Stars, hide your fires, let not light see my black and deep desires

My dearest love

This soliloquy is where Macbeth evaluates the reasons for Duncan’s murder

A1S7

If it were done when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well it were done quickly

Vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself and falls on th’other

We will proceed no further in this business

I dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more is none

False face must hide what the false heart doth know

A2S1

I think not of them (the weird sisters)

A2S1 SOLILOQUY

Is this dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee, I have thee not, and yet I see thee still

Hear it not Duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to hell

I could not say ‘Amen’

Sleep no more: Macbeth does murder sleep

Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time

A3S1 SOLILOQUY

Macbeth’s concerns about Banquo

A3S1

To be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo stick deep

Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown

I have filed my mind; for them, the gracious Duncan have I murdered

Mine eternal jewel given to the common enemy of man

A3S2

LM: Gentle my lord

O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!

Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck

There the grown serpent lies; the worm that’s fled hath nature that in time will venom breed

LM: My lord is often thus, and hath been from his youth

I have a strange infirmity which is nothing to those that know me

It will have blood they say: blood will have blood

I am in blood stepped so far that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o’er

A4S1

I conjure you (to witches)

Answer me to what I ask you

Then all of the apparitions appear on stage

Shall Banquo’s issue ever reign in this kingdom?

From this moment, the very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand

The prophecies are:

1. Beware Macduff

2. None of woman born shall harm Macbeth

3. Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane hill

A4S3

Malcolm (referring to his evils): bloody, luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful, sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin that has a name

Bring me no more reports, let them fly all; Till Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane I cannot taint with fear

I will not be afraid of death and bane, till Birnam Forest come to Dunsinane

A5S5

I have almost forgot the taste of fears

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more

I pull in resolution and begin to doubt th’equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth

A5S5 SOLILOQUY

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

A5S7

Young Siward: The devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear

A5S9

I will not yield to kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet and to be baited with the rabble’s curse
