ACT ONE
Page 98
Shakespeare started his play by the thunder and lightning, he wanted to tell us this play will not talk
about something good, it will talk about something which is dark and evil. So the atmosphere at the
beginning of the play gives an idea about the whole play which is then good side and the evil side in
every human being. And the scene begins with the appearance of the witches, this indicates the
evilness of the witches.
The setting of the first scene:
Place: An open place
Atmosphere: thunder and lightning.
The three witches met together in order to arrange a place to meet Macbeth after the end of the battle
between his army leading by him and Norway army leading by Macdonwald.

1. “Fair is foul and foul is fair/ Hover through the fog and filthy air”

The most important quotation in this scene is “Fair is foul and foul is fair/ Hover through the fog
and filthy air” which means evil is good and good is evil, everything is changing through the time
such as Macbeth he was a noble man fighting to protect the king Duncan and soon he turns to be bad
person he did this to achieve his ambition to become a king of Scotland. Also this quotation refers to
Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth.

The king Duncan asks the Captain to tell him about the battle and how are the soldier and if they are
afraid or not. The Captain replied by saying Yes, which is an ironic idea meaning No, then he
compare the army of Macdonwald by Small bird and rabbet and the army of Macbeth by lion and
Big bird which he use the simile to mean no, they are not afraid at all.

BANQUO New horrors come upon him,

Macbeth (Aside)-………… they are used.
The explanation is talking about the evil side of Macbeth in which his eagerness to become a king of
Scotland, become stronger and stronger. He mentioned the word murder and violent to show that he
is planning to kill the king in order to be the king coz it’s the only way to achieve what he want. This
ideas was between Macbeth and himself which calls soliloquy( talking to yourself) this shows the
internal conflict between Macbeth and himself.

Banquo is the first one who saw the witches
which some critics said the existence of the
witches is real not imagination. When Banquo
saw the witches he was surprised wither the are
men or women because they have beards.
Macbeth told them to speak as he speaks they
start hailing him. Why when Banquo was
talking to them none of them replied but when
Macbeth starts talking they speak? Coz their
intention is to meet Macbeth not Banquo.
Then they hail Macbeth as a thane of Glamis
which his position in this army. And then they
hailed him as thane of Cawdor and after that the
king of Scotland.
This quotation is talking about the reaction
of Macbeth in describing the witches in
which Banquo sees them as a bubbles which
means they’re not real.
This quotation is talking about the two
messengers who they are Angus and Ross
when they came to tell Macbeth that the king
has made him the thane of Cawdor, and
Banquo was surprised and said could the
witches tell the truth.
The two messengers bring with them some
clothes of the dead thane of Cawdor.
Macbeth then told the messengers why you
are addressing me this clothes which are
belonged to someone ales alive. These words
refer to the central image of the whole play.
This quotation is emphasized the idea of
the central image that the whole play stand
by. Why it is the central image? Coz it
refers to the suffering of Macbeth. Macbeth
was uncomfortable by receiving the new
position, coz it’s not his position but
someone else.
Macbeth also added by saying chance won’t make me a king, which shows how bad person he is.
When Banquo says “New horrors come upon him” he is using metaphor to compare the new
clothes with the new position that Macbeth got, he said this new position didn’t fit him and Macbeth
was uncomfortable coz this position is not his.
Page 112
DUNCAN There's no art This quotation talks about the kind of conflict between

trusts people. Also this quotation shows the tragic irony
in which Duncan commit another mistake in putting his
trust in someone will kill his someday. The first
mistake he trusted in the previous thane of Cawdor.
Page 113
Duncan—Has……… I trusted absolutely.
Duncan is talking with Malcolm about the death of the previous thane of Cawdor in which he betrays
the king and the army. Duncan says that there is no way to know the thoughts of mind throughout his
personality but he was a gentleman and loyal.
(Addressing Macbeth) O worth …….. leave from you.
King Duncan is telling Macbeth that he deserves more than being a thane of Cawdor. Macbeth
replied by saying my soul is but to serve you and serves your children. King Duncan welcome both
Macbeth and Banquo warmly. The king after that declared his son Malcolm will be the king after him
and told Macbeth he will visit his in his home in Inverness, which show to Macbeth that there is no
chance to become the king unless he kills the king. Macbeth told the king he will tell his wife about
the and she will be happy of hearing that, while his intention of telling he is get some supports.

LADY MACBETH—“ They……… achieving your desires.
This explanation is shows the reaction of L. Macbeth when she read the message of her husband, and
she thinks about the easiness of killing the king. Now lady Macbeth is reading the letter which
consists all the events that happened to Macbeth .
a. The first event when he met the witches who have supernatural power.
b. The second event when the messenger told him about the new position which is the king of
Cawdor.
Lady Macbeth speaks to herself about the nature of her husband that how can Macbeth the kind man
kill and make big sin.

Dun.—This castle……..doing to us now.
It talks about, when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are welcoming the king Duncan warmly and the
king starts to describe the castle of Macbeth positively which shows there is a tragic irony, in which
the king describe a place that he will be killed in it. there is a conflict between reality and appearance.

In this scene Macbeth is hesitated to kill the
king because of the consequences, and the
king is very kind, so God will take revenge
from him. He convinced himself not to kill
the king, but at the end he thinks how to be
the king of Scotland, and achieve his
ambition.
There is a conflict and contradiction in this
scene. A conflict between the good side
when he gave the three reasons for not
killing the king, and the bad side when he
wanted to kill the king achieve his ambition.

In this scene it shows us the personality of lady Macbeth that at the beginning she was strong when
she said that she will cover the servants by blood. Lady Macbeth was about to kill the king herself,
but because the king is looks like her father, she could not. This is shows the weakness of her
personality.

“My husband ………………….. 135 peacefully again”
Macbeth was listening to two imagination sounds of two people one was laughing and the other said
murder murder. One of them was saying God bless us and the second said Amen, and this was out of
his consciousness. When the second one said Amen, Macbeth wanted to repeat the same words, but
he could not because it is out of his feeling, guilty to kill the king. Macbeth shall sleep no more. It
is also out of his imagination. The voice scene gives us the idea of the future of Macbeth that he will
lose his sleeping and rest which is so difficult because he takes something which is not his, that thing
is the sleeping. Macbeth will lose his sleeping because he killed king Duncan while he was sleeping.
He took something which is not related to him, so he will never be comfortable.

Macbeth was the only one who hear the voice of sleep no more, and these words mean that he will
suffer after the killing. lady Macbeth encouraged Macbeth after the killing to forget and care about
the future and wash his hands not for others to know. She asked him to return the daggers back
because he brought it with him, but Macbeth disagreed to return because he is afraid even thinking of
what he had done make him afraid. Then lady Macbeth took the daggers back next to the servants.
Macbeth is guilty and as a result of his realizing of how much he committed a very big crime, he said
that all the Neptune ocean is not enough to clear his hands, and the color of the ocean will be red
from the blood. On the other hand, Lady Macbeth said that little water is enough to clear their hands

faces. Macbeth has two faces because he dealt with king Duncan in a good way. He shows him that
he like him and he is happy that he visit him, but in reality he prepared to kill Duncan. So in
appearance something and in reality something else. And by this Macbeth made an end for himself
as the farmer The third sinner is Tailor-dress maker. Tailor is stealing clothes as Macbeth steals a
position which is not related to him, it belongs to someone else who is king Duncan. So, Macbeth is
going to hell because he did so many unforgivable sins. Compare the dress with position.

In this event, We get the idea that the first one who discovered the crime of the King Duncan was
Macduff. The way that Macduff behaved tells us how badly and savagely the killing of the King
Duncan was. When Macbeth said what is the matter shows to us his double-dealer character because
he acted as if he didn't know anything and it shows us how perfect and cunning Macbeth became in
acting and hiding his real personality.

Macbeth acted here also in perfect way to be red of being doubtful. He acted as if the once who killed
the King were the grooms and the reason behind killing them was because he was angry and sad for
what happened to the King. We have a conflict between reality and appearance because Macbeth
acted as he really loved the King and he was sad for what happened to his beloved king but in reality
he was the one who killed him and the one who killed all grooms to hide his crime. Macbeth didn't
kill the King only but also the King's grooms without thinking that he was hiding one crime by doing
another which indicates his evilness and darkness in order to take a position that doesn't belong to
him.

as a result and because of that the King Duncan was a kind person, so the heaven is angry.

she gets what she desires but she feels something is missing in her life. We can get an idea that Lady
Macbeth doesn't feel happy and comfortable because she takes something doesn't belong to her, so
she lives in hell with no peace of mind or happiness. By the speech of lady Macbeth, we get that
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth live in hell not as they assumed and they live in life with no peace of
mind and in a doubtful life. Just as the get everything, they also lose everything. These lines show us
how much Lady Macbeth is too much different in living her life because before they kill King
Duncan she was so strong and she enjoyed her life but not is the opposite she is weak and living in a
hell.

By these lines we can understand that how much Macbeth doesn't feel comfortable and how much
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth prefer if they are in the position of King Duncan. They feel that they are
living in hell and they lose everything. From the speech of Macbeth, we get the idea that taking
something doesn't belong to you will make your life hell just as what happened with Macbeth and his
Lady.

These lines have been taken from the play of Macbeth which is written by William Shakespeare.
Here Macbeth hires two murderers in order to kill Banquo and his son Fleance while they are being
outside the castle. Macbeth hires only two murderers but there is another one who joins them. As we
have here, the two murderers ask the third one that who hires him to join them. These lines talk about
how the murderers kill Banquo but not his son. What we must focus here is that, most of critics
assumed that the third murderer is Macbeth himself and he is the murderer who kills Banquo but
couldn't kill his son because he runs into the forest.
176
Murderer Most royal sir,
Fleance is 'scaped.
MACBETH Then comes my fit again: I had else been perfect,
Whole as the marble, founded as the rock,
As broad and general as the casing air:
But now I am cabin'd, cribb'd, confined, bound in
To saucy doubts and fears. But Banquo's safe?
These lines have been taken from the play of Macbeth which is written by William Shakespeare. In
these lines, one of the murderers who kill Banquo comes to Macbeth and tells him that Banquo is
killed but not his son because he runs away. Macbeth replies and says that his happiness is not
complete by killing Banquo because Banquo's son runs away. Here we have a simile in which
Macbeth is comparing himself to marble, rock, and air. He is telling us that if the murderers kill
Banquo and his son, his happiness will be completed and he will be strong and unstoppable just as
the marble and rock and he will be free from being afraid from Banquo and his son just as the air.
From these lines we can understand that Macbeth's desire in killing has no limit and he keeps killing
one after another which indicates his evilness and darkness.

This is the air-drawn dagger which, you said,
Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts,

A woman's story at a winter's fire,
Authorized by her grandam. Shame itself!

But, Lady Macbeth is there and tells them to stay and justifies that Macbeth doesn't feel well because
he is sad of Banquo’s death. Lady Macbeth takes Macbeth to the room and directly asks him is he is a
man. The behavior of Lady Macbeth gives us an idea that she is so smart and strong unlike Macbeth
is weak and coward.
When lady Macbeth asks Macbeth that is he a man, he answers that he is a brave man who sees a
very trouble and scared thing that is the ghost of Banquo. Macbeth is comparing the sight he sees to
something trouble in which if the devil sees that sight, he will be scared and weak. Lady Macbeth
describes Macbeth's psychology and tries to convince Macbeth that the dagger, the crime scene, and
the ghost which he sees them are just a result of his fairness, he just sees something not real and no
existence of Banquo’s ghost. In the last speech of Lady Macbeth, we have a comparison " metaphor".
She is comparing the fairness of Macbeth to the fairness of child also she is comparing her situation
in which she is trying to convince Macbeth that nothing to be afraid from to the situation when a
woman is trying to calm down his baby by telling him a story. The speech of Lady Macbeth tells us
how much Macbeth is weak and how much she is strong and brave.

Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to be calm down and consider that situation as if something usual. The
speech of Lady Macbeth shows how much she is strong unlike Macbeth.
Macbeth replies to her wife that he is a strong and brave man. In the speech of Macbeth, we have a
metaphor in which Macbeth compares himself to three strong animals. He is comparing his strength
and bravery to the three strong animals which are, shaggy bear of Russia, the fierce rhinoceros and
the savage tiger of Hyrcania. Macbeth is telling Lady Macbeth that he is capable to fight all these
three strong animals but not Banquo’s ghost which indicates how much trouble and scared the
situation of seeing ghost of Banquo. He is telling Lady Macbeth he will fight Banquo sword to sword
and face to face but not like this ghost to human.

These lines describe Macbeth's situation. Macbeth commits lots of crimes and he is comparing
himself and his situation that he is in a river of blood so he cannot backward and go forward.
Macbeth is talking with himself that is he goes back he must confess to the people for what he has
done. He says that he will not go back and will go forward which means that he will keep killing.

We have here a conversation happening between Lady Macduff and Ross. She asks Ross why his
husband "Macduff" leaves them. She is wandering Ross to tell her that she has to be patient. Lady
Macduff doesn't know what is wrong with Macduff and she thinks in a negative way that Macduff
leaves them with no reason. Macduff escapes from Scotland and leaves his wife and children in order
to protect them from Macbeth.

Doctor and gentle woman realize that Lady Macbeth is doing so many things while her eyes are
opened and her eyes without life in them. Doctor wants to know what lady Macbeth is saying
because he can cure her by knowing what she is saying. Lady Macbeth is saying something
dangerous while she is sleeping. She talks about the scene of the crime in which the killing of King
Duncan. The gentle woman knows what lady Macbeth is talking about, but she could tell the doctor
that because she is afraid to not believe her and there is no witness. While they are talking about the
illness of Lady Macbeth, Lady Macbeth enters with a candle. From the situation of what is lady
Macbeth doing, we can understand that she has a little bit of goodness because the light is a symbol
of good things unlike the beginning of the play she likes to stay in a place with no light. The whole
conversation is talking about the action of Lady Macbeth and the reaction of the doctor and the gentle
woman. Lady Macbeth is doing something dangerous, she is saying and doing things that can make
people around her know what she has done. She tries to clean her hands many times and saying that
the blood of the old man "King Duncan" is not be cleaned. Lady Macbeth is remembering everything
that she and her husband have done. She remembers the crime of killing king Duncan, killing the two
grooms, Banquo, and Macduff's family. From all these event we get the idea that Lady Macbeth
becomes weak unlike before doing any crime. Also, we can understand that Lady Macbeth is
regretting for what she has done and she hopes if she doesn't do anything.
224
LADY MACBETH To bed, to bed! there's knocking at the gate:
come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's
done cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!

17
Arts Symphony& Legend of Tomorrow
This speech by Lady Macbeth is telling us that she is regretting for what she has done and she hopes
if she did not so. She said that all the deed my husband and I did cannot be undone. Lady Macbeth
wants to repent but she realizes that it is so late to do that so she says, what is done cannot be undone.
This speech by Lady Macbeth shows us how much she becomes weak which is the opposite of her
character in the beginning of the play.

Macbeth is talking now and saying that he is living long enough. Here we have a metaphor in which
Macbeth is comparing his life to a yellow leave in Autumn. Just as the leaf is going to fell down
when it becomes old, Macbeth's life is going to end when it becomes long enough. Macbeth realizes
that all the people who were around in order to protect him, they are trying to kill him. We can get
the idea because of what Macbeth has done by taking someone else thing, he will be taken everything
especially his peace of mind and life. When a person beacons an old he should be respected by
others. Macbeth becomes old but others don't respect him because of his evil deed.

At this point in the play, Macbeth still thinks he bears a charmed life as he cannot be slain by one of
"woman born". It is only a few lines later that Macbeth discovers that Macduff was not born of
woman but "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb (i.e. what we would now call a Cesarean
section).
