Betsy scene 1 In this scene the witches meet, and they say how they want to meet Macbeth and when they will meet him. Quote: Witches: “Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.” This shows that the witches are evil and do not care about risks. It is also really important because shows how they are planning everything that happens.

Betsy scene 4 In this scene Duncan tells Macbeth of how he wants to visit his Home. He also says How proud he is of Macbeth. Quote: Macbeth: (aside) The prince of Cumberland! That is a stepOn 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.The eye wink at the hand, yet let that beWhich the eye fears, when it is done, to see. Here Macbeth first shows his evil side as he debates on how he will be king. However he does consider giving up it seems he decides to think more later.

Lauren scene 7 Macbeth. “…if th’ assassination could trammel up the consequence and catch with his surcease success, that but this blow might be the be-all and end-all.” This quotation is Macbeth talking to himself about murdering King Duncan. He’s saying that if his plan is successful, then it would be like the beginning of a whole new life. This quote is important because the murder of the King is what starts all the drama with Macbeth and the people.

Lauren scene 7 Macbeth. “We will proceed no further in this business. He hath honored me of late, and I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people, which would be worn now in their newest gloss, not cast aside so soon.” This is Macbeth telling Lady Macbeth that he is having second thoughts about murdering Duncan. He’s saying that people honor him, and if he kills someone, all those compliments would have gone to waste.
