Presentation transcript:

Equivocation- The use of ambiguous language to mislead The Witches’ prophecies: MacBeth will be king Banquo will beget kings MacBeth “shall never vanquished be until / Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Shall come against him"

Prophecy 1- Seems to tell of future greatness but doesn’t give any indication of what Macbeth will have to do or the resistance he’ll face. Ambiguous nature causes MB to become conflicted and disoriented as his ambition and guilt battle for control. Prophecy 2- Confuse Banquo with equivocations (“not so happy yet much happier,” “lesser than Macbeth, yet greater”) Creates conflict – Banquo will be the father of kings, but is not MacBeth’s father, so his destiny is in opposition to MacBeth’s.

First Apparition – Tells MB to beware MacDuff. This seems to be contradicted later Second Apparition – Tells MB that none of woman born may harm him Third Apparition - MacBeth only hears the literal meaning of the prophecy and ignores the metaphorical meaning. The Weird Sisters have set verbal traps, and MacBeth, due to his tragic flaw, walked into every one of them.

Doubling “Double, double, toil and trouble” The “show of kings” – every king looks like Banquo Like he’s haunting him x 8 “Twofold balls and several scepters” – implies they will be the kings of more than one country 8 th king holds up a mirror James I is the 8 th generation descendant of Banquo Also in the play it is said that the King of England has powers from heaven to heal “the evil.”

Characters also “mirror” each other. MacBeth – acts upon ambition and prophecy. Banquo – does not Lady MacBeth-advises MB to forget all guilt Increasingly plagued by guilt

Masks double our own faces MB tells Lady MB to make her face a pleasant mask She paints the servants’ faces in blood to frame them. Malcolm, when testing MacDuff’s loyalty, says "all things foul would wear the brows of grace“

When Lady Macduff complains to Ross about the abrupt departure of Macduff, she states: "the poor wren / The most diminutive of birds, will fight, / Her young ones in her nest, against the owl." Her metaphor comes to life when she and her son are attacked by Macbeth's men.
