Macbeth-
Act 1: When the witches say “All hail, Macbeth,
Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor and the future King.” This is the small seed
of an idea the witches plant in Macbeth’s mind which drives through the whole
play.
Act 2: Lady Macbeth: “My hands are of your color,
but I shame to wear a heart so white.” This is one of the many times in the
play when Lady Macbeth belittles her husband which leads him to go the rest of
the play trying to prove her and the rest of the world wrong and gain back his
manliness.
Act 3: Macbeth: “I’m in blood stepped in so far,
that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go over.” This is
Macbeth recognizing that he has gone too far and he has too much blood on his
hands already that there is no point in going back or stopping because then the
people that died in his hands would have died in vain. This is him trying to
stop and reason with his crazy actions and thoughts, very rarely does he self
evaluate his situation because he is so hot headed and blind so this moment is
golden. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he is remorseful or anything of the
sort, I don’t think he ever reaches that point in the play ever but this is one
of the very few times Macbeth actually thinks, just thinks for once.
Act 4: I was frantically searching for a quote about
sins or how many sins Macbeth has committed. Macbeth was saying something like “I
have committed more sins than that of those we have names for” or something
like that. It was saying he did sins without names and I wanted to find it and I
looked for it but unfortunately the five minutes passed before I could dig it
out. I think it’s in this act I’m not sure it might be in Act 3.
