The illiterate servant of Capulet tells Romeo and Benvolio “My master is the / great rich Capulet, and if you be not of the house of / Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of wine” (1.2.83-85). It is through an unfortunate chance that of all the literate people in Verona, the servant happens to ask Romeo to read for him, which later leads to the meeting of the two lovers and inevitably to their death. The role of chance in this significant event and throughout the whole play influences the outcome of the play by leading their destiny to death, and therefore removing the play from the tragedy genre. When Romeo sees Juliet dead in the tomb, he says, “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary!
Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter! [Freeze] (I, iii, pg 47) Enter ROSS ROSS For an earnest of a greater honor, The king bade me, from him, call thee Thane of Cawdor; In which addition, hail, most worthy Thane, For it is thine. (I, iii, pg 49) MACBETH [Aside] Glamis, and Thane of Cawdor; The greatest is behind. 1 (II, ii, pg 121-123) MACBETH holds a dagger and hesitates to kill KING DUNCAN.
That is a step on which I must fall down, or else oerleap for in my way it lies. Stars hide your fires, let not light see my black and deep desires.” When Lady Macbeth receives the letter from her husband about the witches prediction she also realises that Duncan must killed. She thinks that Macbeth deserves to be great but also believes he is too noble to do such a thing. “Yet do I fear thy nature It is too full othe milk of human-kindness to catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great art not without ambition, but without the illness should attend it.” This shows that Lady Macbeth simply brings out the murderous butcher within Macbeth which was always subconsciously there with his ambition for glory.
Hamlet stabs the king and Laertes remarks, “He is justly serv’d” (5.2.294). Accordingly, Hamlet must also receive justice as well for he unwittingly murdered Polonius. Laertes achieves this retribution for both Polonius and Ophelia, whose death was spurred by Polonius’. Nearing the end of their lives, Laertes beseeches Hamlet, “Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet: Mine and my father’s death come not upon thee, nor thine on me!” to ensure that the two may pass peacefully without lingering dissention. (5.2.295-297) Gertrude’s lustful pitfall is also resolved when she sacrifices herself for her son by taking the poisoned drink.
It is an odd quote because she is calling on the spirits to make her into more of a man and give her the power to do terrible things. When she asks to be "unsexed" she is asking to gain the typically male characteristics of violence and hatred and unfeeling. Quote 2 Line numbers: Act 2 Scene 1 33-34 First five words: “Is this a dagger which I see before me,/The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.” Context: Macbeth says this quote. This is right before Macbeth will kill Duncan.
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale.

He asked just as they thought if chance will have me” King, why, Chance may crown me, Without my stir.” (1.3.43-44) he was pulled into their lies and trickery from the very beginning and he is thrown right into his choice to kill King Duncan but who most pushed him was Lady Macbeth. The second of the circumstances is Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth, at first, skillfully pushes Macbeth to murder Duncan by mocking him "Was the hope drunk; Wherein you dressed yourself? ", doubting his love for her "Such I account thy love," accusing him of cowardice "And live a coward". She finally convinced him by pointing out how easy it would be "When Duncan is asleep".
Fear that if he kills King Duncan, he will be killed himself, and that there will be public disgrace. He is disgusted that he has the impulse to murder. | | 5. | ‘Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye’ | | | 6. | ‘so green and pale’ | | | 7.
Throughout the play Lady Macbeth is the driving influence behind Macbeth and the immoral path that he chose to follow. To put it simply Lady Macbeth started the rot and persuaded the hesitant and indecisive Macbeth to “be a man” and do the deed of killing Duncan. Macbeth initially decided to “proceed no further” in the matter of killing Duncan because he had been kind to him of late bestowing the position of Thane of Cawdor on him. She responds to this by saying that if he can lose his ambition so readily, his love for her must also be changeable. Then she insults his masculinity and questions his courage.
The irony is that Macbeth kills Duncan for power later in the story. Task B -“There’s no art, to find the minds construction in the face”. This passage by the King Duncan means that it is impossible to learn how to judge a persons character by appearance. He is referring to the Thane of Cawdor who appears to be loyal but in fact betrays his own kingdom and his own king. I find this Quote comparable to Act 3 Scene 4 when Macbeth hosts a banquet and he is acting very strange because he is startled when he sees the murdered mans ghost at the dinner table.
