Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. ( pg , line 58) This clip would be an Oscar moment because this speech connects many of the play’s main themes, including the idea of suicide and death, the difficulty of knowing the truth in a ghosts unclear universe, it connects between thought and action. In addition to its crucial content, this speech is important for what it reveals about Hamlet’s mind. His passionate nature is complemented by a harsh logical reason, which works to find a solution to his madness. He
How canst I bear welcome in my eyes, my hands, and my words? Murdering this man is a sin against our holy God, and me that also against natural order on Earth. And yet talking to this gentleman reminds me of the spiteful sin. Alas, I cannot look on the king’s face and demeanour. I shall lose my nerve and mighty ambition will take a seat to pity.
LADY MACBETH TO MACBETH Saying | Meaning | Location | Yet do I fear thy nature; it is too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. | Macbeth is too nice and soft to see the quickest way to become kings | 1.5 | “Thus thou must do,” if thou have it. | You don’t want to cheat yet you want what doesn’t belong to you. | 1.5 | That I may pour my spirits in thine ear and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round. | Come home so I can talk you out of what’s making you scared to go after the crown.
Macbeth then begins to ponder the power of fate. However at the same time, Banquo understands the role that free will plays when he quotes I. iii. 158-160 “New honors came upon him,/ Like ouir strange garments, cleave not/ to their mold/ But with the aid of use.” I. ii. 8-12 “And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling/ Showed like a rebel’s whore, but all’s too weak:/ For brave Macbeth-- well he deserves that name--/ Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel,/ Which smoked with bloody executions,” A bleeding captain returns from the battlefield and describes to Duncan and Malcolm the victory of Macbeth
By my brotherhood that letter was not nice but full of charge, of dear importance” (act 5, scene 1, v17) This quote is when friar learns that Romeo had not received the letter. Now friar has to go save Juliet himself. “O comfortable friar! Where is my lord?” ( act 5, scene 3, v198) Juliet asks this to the
Act 1 Scene 7 (Enter Macbeth) MACBETH If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well It were done quickly: if th’assassination Could trammel up the consequence and catch With his surcease success: that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all — here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We’d jump the life to come. But in these cases We still have judgement here, that we but teach Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return To plague th’inventor: this even-handed justice Commends th’ingredients of our poisoned chalice To our own lips. He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed: then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door, Not bear the knife myself.
She is asking him if he wants to be king or not, and if he is to be king he must commit regicide. By telling Macbeth this, she is his doubting his manliness, and his ambitions. She goes further to say that she would make a better man than he: “I would, while it was smiling in my face,/ Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,/ and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you/ Have done to this” (Act I, Scene vii, Lines 56-59) As a result of this verbal abuse and pressure, Macbeth ends up killing Duncan that same night. This shows us that Lady Macbeth's ambition is greater than Macbeth’s, because while he hesitates and is distrustful of his powers, she never wavers. She needs no supernatural temptations to urge her on.
In the play Macbeth, I believe that Macbeth brings about his own downfall and is not a victim of circumstance. Certain traits contribute to his downfall. Three that are apparent are his ambition, the way others can influence him, and his ignorance while making decisions. Vaulting ambition is a very obvious flaw of Macbeths. In part of the play, Macbeth even admits to his ambition, "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself, and falls on the other."
What soldiers, whey-face?” (V.iii.16-19) Scene eight takes place in the midst of the battle. Here we see a new kind of dignity in Macbeth. “Why should I play the Roman fool and die/On mine own sword?” (V.viii.1). In this first line of the scene Macbeth contemplates suicide but his ego won’t let him, he has too much dignity. Later in the scene when Macbeth finally meets with MacDuff and learns that MacDuff was not born of a
