Macbeth

In the begining of Macbeth we talked about Lady Macbeth and Macbeth's relationship, the characters in Macbeth, the witches, how we were going to figure out what they were saying because of the Shakspear language, and of course that there is a lot of blood in this play. I know that blood is gory but it makes several appearances in Macbeth. We see this throughout the play because Macbeth kills a lot of people and there are several times when they talk about blood. It all starts when he kills Duncan because after he killed him he had to keep killing people, including his best friend, to get what he wanted, which was to be king.Throughout this book, there is several murders and a battle at the end against Macbeth. Also towards the end Lady Macbeth starts sleep walking to try to get rid of the blood so the blood also comes back to haunt them.

Quotes from Macbeth

A quote that I found important in the three Acts we have read so far is "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly: if the assassination Could trammel up the consequence, and catch With his surcease success;" This is a quote from Act 1 and it is Macbeth's sililoque about whether or not he should kill Duncan. He is saying to himself that if he were to kill Duncan it would have to be quick because if he gets caught doing it, it would be okay for the next to be king to kill him. It matters to this play because in this play he ends up killing Duncan that leads to many other deaths.

When he kills Duncan it leads to more deaths like the death of his best friend, Banquo. A quote I found important in the killing of Banquo is " O treachery! Fly, good Florence. fly, fly, fly! Thou mayst revenge- O slave!" This was what Banquo said before he died to his son Florence. This shows that Florence is still alive and the profecy that the witches gave him about his son being kings still can come true.
