Macbeth, Quotes. Scenes I, II, III
- Witches
- 'In thunder, lightning, or in rain?'
- 'When the battle's lost and won'
Annotations:
- Ambiguity - literal battle, or Macbeth's battle? Also demonstrates how we cannot know the Witches' intentions - what could they gain from Macbeth? Are they on anyone's side? What is their purpose; their intent?
- 'There to meet with Macbeth'
- 'Graymalkin. / Paddock calls'
- 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair; / Hover through the fog and filthy air'
Annotations:
- Proverbial at the time, but expression probably signifies the moral confusion or inversion which the Witches represent.
- 'killing swine'
- 'in a sieve I'll thither sail'
- 'thrice' 'the charm's wound up'
Annotations:
- The completion of a charm that does not lead to a prophecy suggests that they may be the perpetrators of Macbeth's misfortune.
- 'In thunder, lightning, or in rain?'
- About Macbeth
- 'brave Macbeth'
- 'Disdaining fortune'
Annotations:
- Macbeth inevitably takes matters into his own hands.
- 'Like valour's minion carv'd out his passage'
Annotations:
- Again, he must carve his own passage, so he was an instrument in Duncan's murder out of incapability to be a passive observer of fate. Given a prophecy, must act upon it.
- 'unseam'd him from the nave to th' chops'
- 'worthy gentleman'
- 'As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.'
- 'Bellona's bridegroom'
Annotations:
- Old Roman goddess of war.
- 'What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won.'
Annotations:
- Echoes Witches' prophecy - Demonstrates invasive nature of witches' prophecy - Rupert Goold production. Both literal battle lost and won, but more specifically Macbeth's battle is lost and won - could be used to support argument that the Witches' are to blame - they have already decided Macbeth's fate.
- 'brave Macbeth'
- Macbeth
