UNFINISHED - (I need to add more quotes, but feel free to use this) 

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair." - Witches (1.1) represents the theme of appearance and reality and supernatural

"When the battle's lost and won." - Witches (1.1) represents the theme of appearance and reality 

"When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly 's done, When the battle 's lost and won." - Witches (1.1) 

So foul and fair a day I have not seen” - Macbeth (1.3) Shows that the witches already have influence over Macbeth even though they haven't met yet. 

"If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me." - Macbeth (1.3) represents the theme of fate and free will - are the witches really in control over Macbeth? Idk 

"What, can the devil speak true?" - Banquo (1.3) His reaction to the fulfillment of the witches prophecies. Witches are bad, they are referred to as the devil. 

"Stars, hide youfires; let not light see my black and deep desires." - Macbeth (1.4) represents how guilty Macbeth feels about killing Duncan. Whenever there is a rhyme in the play, something bad is going to happen. His "black and deep desires" are his ambition to be king by committing regicide. 

"The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." - Macbeth (1.4) rhyming couplet again – means something bad is going to happen (the rhyme matches the witches spells and the way they speak. Witches = bad then rhyming = bad. 

"Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it; he died as one that had been studied in his death to throw away the dearest thing he owed, as 't were a careless trifle." - Malcolm (1.4) he talks about how the Thane of Cawdor (the one who betrayed King Duncan at the start of the play) died as if he practice how to throw away his greatest possession (his life) 

"Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty" - Lady Macbeth (1.5) Lady Macbeth decides to build up her courage and 'become a man' ("unsex me here") 

"Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness." - Lady
