Macbeth

O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!

King Duncan sees Macbeth as being brave and noble.

When you durst do it, then you were a man. When Macbeth was brave enough to kill Duncan, he was a real man.

But screw your courage to the sticking-place, And we'll not fail. Lady Macbeth is telling her husband to wind his courage up to the max, and they will succeed.

My hands are of your colour, but I shame To wear a heart so white Her hands are as red as his now, but she would be ashamed to be as fearful as him.

What man dare, I dare. Macbeth tells Banquo's ghost he dares to do anything a man can do.

Manliness and femininity Unsex me here And fill me from the crown to the toe topfull Of direst cruelty Lady Macbeth calls on evil spirits to take away her womanly kindness

Bring forth men-children only, For thy undaunted mettle should compose Nothing but males. Lady Macbeth is so tough, she should only have sons, not daughters.

My husband! Now Macbeth's done the murder, his wife accepts him as a real man again!

Are you a man? Lady Macbeth's not impressed with Macbeth at the banquet.

Why so, being gone, I am a man again. Now the ghost has gone, Macbeth is back to normal.

Out, damned spot! Lady Macbeth is desperate to get this blood off her hands

I am in blood Stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

Macbeth has gone so far that there is no turning back

Come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here Lady Macbeth - corruption of her femininity

By the pricking of my thumbs something wickedthis way comes

Supernatural sensing the evil in Macbeth

Fair is foul and foul is fair, hover through the fog and filthy air The witches chant

Fill me from the crow to the toe top full of direst cruelty Lady Macbeth wanting to be consumed by evil

So foul and fair a day I have not seen Macbeth echos the witches' language

Is this a dagger which I see before me, handle towards my hand? Macbeth hallucination - evil beckoning him

It is too full o' the milk of human kindness Lady Macbeth describing the soft nature of Macbeth

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand Nothing can wash away Lady Macbeth's guilt - permanent deed

I had most need of blessing, and "Amen" stuck in my throat Macbeth cannot pray - guilt

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? Double meaning - endless repercussions to the murder of Duncan

Give me those daggers

Imperative phrase - Ladt Macbeth

Stars hide your fires, let not light see my black and deep desires Macbeth concealing his dark thoughts

Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't Deceive expectations

There's daggers in mens smiles Not all is as it seems - false sense of security

Had he not resembled My father as he slept, I had done't. Lady Macbeth says the only reason she didn't kill Duncan was because he looked like her dad.

False face must hide what a flase heart doth know
