Act I Scene 3
a. He will be Thane of
Cawdor.
b. He will be King of
Scotland.
2. he will not be king, but
your sons will be kings
3. Dramatic irony—WE KNOW
THAT HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE TITLE OF THANE OF CAWDOR, BUT MACBETH DOESN’T KNOW
THAT YET.
4. IT MAY BE TRUE. HE
PICTURES HIMSELF MURDERING THE KING, AND IT DISTURBS HIM.
5. NOTHING. “IF CHANCE WILL
HAVE ME King, why chance may crown me, without my stir” (PG 336)
Act I, scene 4
1. Malcolm, his son
2. that Malcolm, is in his way if he wants to be king
Act I, scene 5
1. Macbeth—tells her about the witches’ prophecies
2. She fears Macbeth is “too nice” to kill Duncan
3. That Macbeth and the king are on their way
4. asking for strength to help her carry out her evil plan—says she
needs to be more like a man
5. she tells him that Duncan will not make it through the night at
their house because Macbeth will kill him
6. “look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it”—act
nice on the outside, but be evil ready to strike
Act I, Scene 6
Dramatic irony—when we know
things the characters don’t
---We know Lady MB and MB are
planning on killing Duncan, but nobody else does. Also, because Duncan chose MB
to be thane of C. because the old one was a traitor—and now MB is too…..
Act I, Scene 7
a. “Bloody
instructions..return to plague the inventor”—when you kill someone, it comes
back to you
b. “I am his kinsman”- it’s
his cousin
“I am his subject”—HE IS THE KING--TREASON
“he is my guest”—HOSPITALITY
C. HE IS A GOOD
KING—EVERYBODY LIKES HIM—PEOPLE WILL BE MAD
D. “he has honored me of
late”—he just gave him title of thane I should be happy with it
*She has a “fool proof”
plan—wait until the king is asleep—get his guards “dead” drunk—steal their
daggers—plant the weapons on the guards
*she calls him out on his
manhood--manipulative
