Moral Quotes In Macbeth
"Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires"(I, 4, 52–53) This is exactly what
the stars did in Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Macbeth wanted Happiness in his life but to get
that he used moral sacrifices that led to his demise and no purpose of living. This is demonstrated
in the dagger speech and the Tomorrow speech that will be discussed showing his ambition for
power and happiness to his demise. In the dagger speech (II, 1, 33–64) William Shakespeare conveys
the message that Macbeth's ambition overrides his morals to accomplish what he wants and what he
thinks will give him happiness. In lines 33–41 of the dagger speech it portrays the message that
Macbeth's guilt is tearing him apart from the thought of what he is going to do. Shakespeare uses
apostrophe of the dagger to convey the message. In the speech Macbeth addresses the dagger as if
it was a person. This allows the audience to see the moral conflict of inside of Macbeth. Showing
that he knows what he wants to do is wrong causing him to see what is not actually there.
Shakespeare also uses rhetorical questions such as "The handle toward my...show more content...
In lines 17–23 the message conveyed is everyday is just another day closer to your death that is
inevitable. This is shown by the repetition of tomorrow when Macbeth says " tomorrow, and
tomorrow, and tomorrow."(19) This shows the dread of going onto the next day because it will
not lead to anything different. Macbeth also uses a cold tone that is conveyed when he says " She
should have died hereafter."(17) This allows the audience to see how disconnected Macbeth is
because Macbeth feels that everyone is similar and it doesn't matter what happens. Finally,
Shakespeare uses depressing diction to such as "petty"(20), "fools"(22) and "dusty."(23) This shows
how low Macbeth views life and people as a

Macbeth is the main character. He was a general in the army of King Duncan. Macbeth was
originally Thane of Glamis, then Thane of Cawdor, and later King of Scotland.
" All hail, Macbeth! Hail to you, thane of Glamis"(1.3 page3)
"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to you, thane of Cawdor!" (1.3 page 3)
" All hail, Macbeth, the future king!"(1.3 page 3)
The story focuses on Macbeth wanting to become the king so he plans to kill the king when the
king comes over for a stay at his house. He has a good relationship with his wife who act as humble
host and hostess. "Now I'm decided, and I will exert every muscle in my body to commit this crime.
Go now, and pretend to be a friendly hostess. Hide with a false pleasant face what you know in your
false, evil heart."(1.7 page 4)

But under that false happy smile is an evil man who will do anything to become king. He might
even resort to killing. One evening while King Duncan comes over to Macbeth's house to celebrate
he is mysteriously murdered and his 2 sons disappear. Not having an heir Macbeth becomes king.
One evening while celebrating at the castle his best friend Banquo , a former general mysteriously
dies. From that night on people start to suspect things that evolve around Macbeth. Everyone around
him suddenly is filled with terror and anger. Even his once friends turn against him. From that
moment on families are torn apart. People you think you can trust suddenly turn against you.
Macbeth is starting to lose his sanity seeing dead people float around and goes to war with
England! In all that commotion Macbeth does not see what he is doing to the world. What will he

Theme Of Jealousy In Macbeth
Jealousy is the root of many evils and sometimes this strong emotion can cloud up judgement.
Jealousy is a part of human nature and can be observed from the time of early civilizations to now,
even some of the most important people like Mark Antony have experienced it too. A once brave
and noble Macbeth became selfish and caught up in his own desires. Although he fulfilled those
desires he kept wanting more and was jealous of others. Macbeth's jealousy has lead him to a point
where he is taking extreme actions without considering the outcome. Macbeth is so blind by his
desire that he is challenging and attempting to change fate in his favour. Macbeth's personality has
taken a drastic shift, and all he understands is what he wants and how to...show more content...
To depict Macbeth's changed attitude and personality Shakespeare uses strong connotation, imagery
and allusion in the soliloquy. Macbeth has gotten what he desired, however he knows his time as
king is not long lasting. He soon realizes that murdering Duncan benefited Banquo more than
himself. Not only is Macbeth jealous of Banquo but also "fears in Banquo/stick deep, and his royalty
in nature"(Shakespeare 3.1.49–50). The imagery in this quotation helps the audience understand
how fearful Macbeth is toward Banquo's royal nature. Here "Deep stick" is indicating the intensity
and amount of fear Macbeth feels, word choice also emphasizes the importance of this quotation.
It makes the audience realize even as king with an abundance of power, he is still fearful of this
one man. Macbeth is also worried about Banquo's royal nature because he knows that Banquo has
lots of wisdom and is willing to takes risks. Banquo has a strong personality that Macbeth finds a
threat. Macbeth admitted that " There is none but he/Whose being I do fear"(Shakespeare
3.1.54–55). Shakespeare does not state what Macbeth specifically thinks about how he is being
plotted against. It may not be

Macbeth Power Quotes
Bloody Deeds and Power
Power, admiration and wealth are all things that people yearn for. It's human nature to prove one's
superiority over others around you. People in politics lie and deceive, making promises that they
aren't going to keep. They say what they believe others would like to hear in order to gain favor of
the voters. Macbeth was written in Elizabethan England during the rule of King James. William
Shakespeare's company was under the King James' patronage, giving him the incentive to write
something that would please the King. Several themes throughout Macbeth appeal to King James,
such as the fact that betrayal of the King ends in misery. Macbeth was content with being a brave
war hero, but then becomes motivated by the idea...show more content...
Lady Macbeth is convincing herself to kill King Duncan. "unsex me here...Of direst cruelty.
Make thick my blood"(1.5.48,50). Lady Macbeth's misconstrued idea of what it means to be a
man prevents Macbeth from truly comprehending what is important. While trying to fit into Lady
Macbeth's ideal of manliness he himself becomes detached from reality and his emotions.
Macbeth's response to the witches prophecy coming true. " I have almost forgotten the taste of
fears"(5.5.11). He feels as though the mass of power he has collected has and will continue to
protect him. He then hears of Lady Macbeth's suicide from her guilt."She should have died
hereafter"(5.5.17). This is quite significant because the correct response would be grief, but
instead he feels nothing for someone he once loved further showing how the greed for power has
corrupted him. The important thing he should have learned is loyalty should take precedence
over want for power, or ambition doesn't have to relate to cruelty. Macduff can be considered a
foil to Macbeth; after his family dies "But I must also feel it as a man" (4.3.261). The idea given
by Macduff is being a man doesn't mean you are only cruel and don't care about the consequences.
It's possible to feel feminine things and still be considered a man. It

Quotes On Greed In Macbeth
Essay draft.
Greed always has its negative consequences, and in Macbeth's case, it took a drastic negative
effect on him and his kingdom and it took a strong toll on him. This play is about a noble warrior
and his downfall. After an encounter with some witches, he was informed about his future, causing
something to snap in his soul. Now that we know of his future, he will do whatever it takes to
accomplish his future even if it means crossing over to the dark side. After many murders to get
what he wants, he becomes greedier, unstable. A psycho with unlimited power, and with this much
power, he is definitely going to make a mistake, which he eventually did, and that mistake is that he
made enemies. His greed ultimately caused corruption in...show more content...
Macbeth felt exactly that, but he was way over his head. When lady Macbeth was trying to trick
him, he was powerless, tied and cannot do anything, but things have changed and it became the
opposite, well that is how it starts, the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good
men, cruel. To explore even more he is what Macbeth had to say(Act five, Scene three) " I will
fight to the death, get me my armor" with everything happening, the war and the witches
misleading prophecies, Macbeth has every right to feel invincible. Macbeth had nothing to lose so
it would not bother him if he fought to the death which he was sure would never happen, the all
powerful, all mighty Macbeth that would not be rivaled by anyone. He was sure that he was going
out there and decimate everyone win the war with ease and rule the kingdom with an iron fist,
because he thought everything the witches told him were straight out of fairytales. Again Macbeth
has shown that there is no one better or powerful than him and that a forest moving is just
unbelievable. Here is what Macbeth said(Act five, Scene three), " I won't be afraid until birnam
woods moves to dunsinane hill" with that being said, the witches have planted this thought in his
mind that a for. Here is what Macbeth said, " I won't be afraid until birnam woods moves to

Quotes About Macbeth's Character
In the play, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is a very respected individual but he only
seems to be honourable; at heart, he is a man who is willing to do anything to become the king. At
the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a respected general, and a loyal subject of the king. The first
of the witches' prophecies brings out his ambitious nature. His ruthlessness in killing Banquo and
Macduff's family shows how perverted his idea of manliness really is and it brings out his ambition
to fulfill his potential for his leadership. By the end of the play, Macbeth has turned into an evil
person, and totally inhumane in his actions. Macbeth is a very courageous warrior and after the
battle, the Captain describes how well Macbeth did and it makes him feel like he has done his best
and is going to do even better in the future. At the start of the play, Macbeth sounds like the super
soldier in the battle against the enemy. The captain reports that Macbeth carved through enemy
soldiers until he reached the traitor Macdonwald and cut him open. This makes Macbeth seem like
he is a very noble and courageous warrior. Also, when the Captain says, "For brave Macbeth –

First of all, Macbeth is a very noble human being and a great warrior. He was named the goddess
of war, Bellona's, husband by the Thane of Ross. That would be such a huge compliment and it
would make Macbeth feel even more special. But, when they came across the three witches, it
completely changed him and he started to become the most wicked person you will ever meet. Then
came the three witches. They manipulate people, like Macbeth, into doing things they think is right
but in reality is the wrong thing to do. When they deliver the prophecies, it is very believable and
you want to make the prophecies come true just like Macbeth did to become

Macbeth Quotes
In the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth, the protagonist,, although has the mindset of
a potential murderer, needs his wife, Lady Macbeth, to push him to take action. In the beginning,
Macbeth feels that he should not take action against King Duncan. Instead he should let fate takes its
course in making him King. On the other hand Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to take action which
eventually leads to his demise. Later on Macbeth begins to toy with the idea of murder after being
convinced by Lady Macbeth that it is the right thing to do. Eventually, Macbeth's immorality takes
over and he begins murdering people left and right without even consulting Lady Macbeth because of
the prior influences she had on him. Ultimately, even though...show more content...
By allowing himself to be persuaded by Lady Macbeth to commit multiple murders, he ultimately
becomes an unethical person himself. While Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are talking about the feast
they are about to have with Banquo, their former friend, Macbeth says, "Be innocent of the
knowledge, dearest chuck, / Till thou applaud the deed" (III.II.51–52). What Macbeth is saying is
that he is planning on killing Banquo, but Lady Macbeth does not need to be involved in the
murder this time; she can just sit back and watch the murder unfold. This is highlighting the fact
that at this point in the play Macbeth does not need anyone to guide him to do the wrong thing.
Lady Macbeth has already done her job and now she has impacted Macbeth so much that he knows
what to do on his own. Macbeth has passed the point of no return and has now become and immoral
murderer. Conclusively, because Macbeth falls under Lady Macbeth's influences he eventually loses
all morality and becomes the evil murderer that he

Macbeth Fear Quotes
Fear, this moves us to do many things no matter if they are against or for our morals. In the play The
Tragedy of Macbeth it was fear that was the main deciding factor that themed throughout this play.
This can be proved by the other murders that happened after King Duncan's. These murders were
committed, because Macbeth was scared of being caught and having to serve justice for the crimes
he had committed. And as for Lady Macbeth, she washes her hands all the time trying to get the
blood that is no longer on her hands off and sleepwalking, all of what she does is out of her own fear.
All of Macbeth's actions were due to fear of not only of being caught but of the witches' vision. He
was worried of them coming true and tried to stop them from becoming true. This play was inspired
by fear and...show more content...
This is a reason why she can no longer cope with what she had done to Duncan. This quote shows
it "Out, damned spot!out,Isay!One;Two:why, then 'tis time to don't. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord,
fie! A soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account?" [Act V, S I, L 32–35] Lady Macbeth is trying to get rid of the blood she thinks she sees on
her hands. Also she talks about going to hell for what she has done. Lady Macbeth was
persuading Macbeth to murder Duncan but as the story continues she has become smaller figure
and Macbeth has became a bigger figure and thrived, Macbeth isn't weakened for what he has
committed or done as Lady Macbeth feels. As she is being driven mad and over the edge with the
guilt she feels, her part becomes less and less to the point where she kills herself hoping to end the
suffering stress on her mind. "The Queen, my Lord is dead" [Act V, S 5, L 18], Lady Macbeth has
token her life right before Macbeth started the battle with England. With her killing herself it shows
how far a person is willing to go just out of

and not by fate. I believe that the witches who sent Macbeth the idea of having this beautiful life

Macbeth Fleance Quotes
Fleance does not return back to Macbeth's castle shows that he has control over his own fate by
opposing to the future that the witches had seen in their prophecy. "Thou shalt get kings, though
thou be none" (act1 scene3 line 70) In the beginning of the play the witches had foretell Banquo that
his sons will become the king. Macbeth strongly believes in the witches prophecy. He commits
murder against Banquo and Fleance in order to fight against the destiny that the witches had
prophesied. "Thou may 'st revenge –O slave!"(act scene line) Banquo urges Fleance to escape and
someday to take revenge of this gory tragedy. The reader expects Fleance to return to Macbeth's
castle to take revenge by murdering Macbeth similarly like he had done to his father. Though, the
reader loses where he had fled in the story after he had escaped from that scene. This may show
that he would not become the king. As the witches recite in the beginning of the play. "Fair is foul,
foul is fair"(act scene line), Macbeth acts as what the witches had said. He is brainwashed by the
evil spirits, he has no more control over himself. He believes that he is doing the right thing but he is
actually trapping himself in a difficult situation. Although, both Banquo and Fleance opposes to this

Greed Quotes In Macbeth
They say greed is the root of all evil. This is especially shown in Macbeth, the desire of power
becomes an apparent symbol throughout the play. How does a man loyal to the king turn so easily
from the slight temptation of the crown. After the murder of Duncan Macbeth is seen picturing an
imaginary dagger, "Is this a dagger which I see before me,/ The handle toward my hand? Come, let
me clutch thee." (2.1.33–34 Macbeth) Macbeth isn't even seen remorseful for the cruel deed he just
commits; to a man who he swore an oath of loyalty to. Macbeth shows signs of greed and gluttony as
the infatuation of power settles in him throughout the plot.
Macbeth first shows signs of change when he becomes Thane of Cawdor. While Macbeth first
meets the witches they tell him he will be king and he wishes to know more. "Why/upon this
blasted heath you stop our way/ with such a prophetic greeting? Speak I charge you." (1.3.77–78)
When Macbeth hears he will be king he becomes instantly curious and sparks a interest on the
prospect of becoming king. This is when he first begins to show the signs of his greed. This is
shown even further when Macbeth is told he was Thane of Cawdor and acts hopeful, "If chance will
have me king,/ why chance may crown me" (1.3.143–144) Knowing the witches said he would soon
become Thane of Cawdor now Macbeth has a purpose and a drive knowing what's next in store for
him. This is shown within his letter to Macbeth "that though might've not lose the dues of rejoicing,
by being integral of what greatness is sponsored thee/" (1.5.8–9) Here he states to lady macbeth he
doesn't want to waste his chance and lose out on the greatness of becoming king. All of these quotes
show Macbeth slip to the side of darkness by wanting to become king.
After murdering Duncan Macbeth starts to change into a pathological manipulator. He is shown
doing this when he kills the guards to frame them for the murder of Duncan "Oh yet I do repent
me of my fury, that did kill them." (2.3.97) Macbeth is already planning ahead for the suspects by
killing the people who would most likely be accused for the murder, and to think just days ago he
was the king's right hand man. Macbeth is able to convince Macduff that he murdered

Macbeth Quotes About Ambition
Macbeth: Ambition
Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, "typically requiring determination and
hard work." Macbeth is a play where most people will read and learn as they go through their lives.
Macbeth starts as an honorable warrior, but throughout the time his wife Lady Macbeth makes him
become an ambitious person.
His ambition starts off when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth want to take over the throne. Lady
Macbeth makes him kill King Duncan immediately. In the play it also quotes about Macbeth's
ambition in him:
"I have no spur/ To prick the sides of my intent, but only/ Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
/ and falls on the other."
Macbeth is telling her to be honest and admit that there was not a good reason to kill Duncan.
Knowing that Duncan was never in the wrong path, yet on the right one. This obviously causes

Which he himself knows how much that place of taking the throne is so valuable for him to be
sitting as king. Macbeth's ambition is defined as strong and able to desire to achieve something.
This is also in Lady Macbeth during the whole play. This motivates Macbeth and more on Lady
Macbeth to do dreadful deeds, and later on, Macbeth's ambitions becomes an obsession. At the end

No doubt of his ambition, seeking after the power is the tragic flaw that is caused because of his

Act 1
1. "Fair is foul, and foul is fair," is stated in line 10 by the witches in the opening of the play. The
significance of this paradox is that it sets us up for the doubleness of the play. It means what is fair
to the witches is foul to man.
2. "Though his bark cannot be lost, / Yet it shall be tempest–tossed," is stated in lines 24 and 25 by
the first witch while she and the other witches are discussing a recent experience of hers with a
sailor. The significance is that it gives us insight on the capabilities of the witches. It means the first
witch can't destroy the sailor's boat, but she can make him miserable with a storm, meaning witches
can only play with man, not destroy him.

It means that if Macbeth is going to commit murder, he assumes he might as well do it quickly,
before he loses his nerve.
12. "Bloody instructions, which being taught, return / To plague the inventor," is stated in lines 9
and 10 by Macbeth while he contemplates the murder of Duncan. The significance is that Macbeth is
only human, he knows right from wrong, and has fear and doubts of committing wrong. It means
since we are taught to murder, murder will eventually come back to us.
13. "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," is stated in lines 54 through 59 by Lady
Macbeth while she tries to build confidence in Macbeth, trying to convince him to be unafraid like
her. The
significance is that Lady Macbeth could never break her promises/vows. The meaning includes
Lady Macbeth giving an example to Macbeth of how loyal she feels she must remain in keeping a
promise. She says that even though she knows the pleasure of nursing a child, if promised to kill
him, she will, even if he is looking up at her smiling.
14. "False face must hide what the false heart doth know," is stated in line 82 by Macbeth while he
concludes that he must commit the murder of Duncan. The significance is that he comes to the

Witchcraft Quotes In Macbeth
The Tragedy of Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare during the early 1600s. The play is
set in Scotland. The main character, Macbeth, is influenced by the witches' prophecies and decides
to kill Duncan, the current king, to become king. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a loyal
and trustworthy thane. After encountering the witches, he became a traitor who would kill anyone to
be king. The witches practice witchcraft, which is the practice of magic that uses spells and calls
spirits. It well known during this period. Many people associate witchcraft with evil and demons
because of their satanic rituals. They also believed that witches worshipped the Devil. Throughout
the play, witchcraft is portrayed as evil from the chaos created by the witches and is shown through
Macbeth. One way witchcraft is displayed in the play are the prophecies made by the witches. "All
hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" (Mac
1.3.49–50). In this quote, the witches are telling Macbeth his future. At first, Macbeth did not
completely believe in the witches' words, but after the first prediction comes true, he decided to trust
them. After Macbeth and Banquo, his best friend, meet the witches, Rosse, a Scottish nobleman,
found Macbeth and told him about his achievement. "He bade me, from him, call the Thane of
Cawdor; In which addition, hail, most worthy thane, For it is thine" (Mac 1.3.105–107). This helped
Macbeth put his belief in the prophecies because two of the three predictions are now true. His
faith in witchcraft played a role in his decisions and actions later in the play. The practice of rituals
was also used to portray witchcraft in the story. A ritual is a ceremony where actions are performed

Duncan has no idea how much danger he is in. He innocently goes to the castle like a lamb to the
slaughter
