Notes on Paradox/Lines that describe Macbeth

Paradox: statement that seems to contradict itself but, in fact, reveals some element of truth.

Ex:
You can save money by spending it.
"What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young."
I'm a compulsive liar- am I lying when I say that?
You shouldn't go in the water until you know how to swim.
The beginning of the end

"fair is foul, foul is fair"
"When the battle's lost and won"
---who says these lines and what do they mean?---write something in your notes here:





Ok, we know that Macbeth is a tragic hero so he is going to start the play in a dignified position. On your scrap of paper, write down at least 2 or 3 adjectives that describe him and the lines from the play that support your claims. (due in class/no homework)
