Selection of Quotations from which your two final exam quotations will be selected for your quotation analysis.

You should have a clear understanding of the context of each quotation as well as two points of significance. You will not be given any notes on how a passage can have significance, so this is something you must know for the exam. 1.3.126-141 Macbeth: [Aside] Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme. [Aloud] I thank you, Gentlemen. [Aside] This supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good; if ill, Why hath it given me earnest of success, Commencing in a truth? I am Thane of Cawdor: If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature? Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings; My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smotherd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not. 1.5.14-29 Lady Macbeth: Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be What thou art promisd. Yet do I fear thy nature; IT is too full othe milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, nut without The illness should attend it; what thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win; thoudst have, great Glamis, That which cries, Thus thou must do, if thou have it; And that which rather thou dost fear to do Than wishest should be undone. Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear, And Chastise with the valour of my tongue All that impedes thee from the golden round, Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crownd withal.

3.1.48-64 Macbeth: To be thus is nothing; But to be safely thus. Our fears in Banquo Stick deep, and in his royalty of nature Reigns that which would be feard: tis much he dares, And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour To act in safety. There is none but her Whose being I do fear; and under him My genius is rebukd, as, it is said, Mark Antonys was by Caesar. He chid the sisters When first they put the name of king upon me, And bade them speak to him; then, prophet-like, They haild him father to a line of kings. Upon my head they placd a fruitless crown, And put a barren scepter in my gripe, Thence to be wrenchd with an unlineal hand, No son of mine succeeding. 5.3.1-10 Macbeth: Bring me no more reports; let them fly all: Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane I cannot taint with fear. Whats the boy Malcolm? Was he not born of woman? The spirits that know All mortal consequences have pronouncd me thus: Fear not, Macbeth; no man thats born of woman Shall eer have power upon thee. Then fly, false thanes, And mingle with the English epicures: The mind I sway by, and the heart I bear Shall never sag with doubt nor shake with fear. 1.5.37-53 Lady Macbeth: The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements. Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here, And fill me from crown to the toe top-full Of direst cruelty; make thick my blood. Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between Theeffect and it! Come to my womans breasts, And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances You wait on natures mischief! Come, tick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry, Hold, hold!

1.4.35-53 Duncan: Sons, kinsmen, thanes, And you whose places are the nearest, know We will establish our estate upon Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter The Prince of Cumberland; which honour must Not unaccompanied invest him only, But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine On all deservers. [To Macbeth] From hence to Inverness, And bind us further to you. [] Macbeth [Aside]The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step On which I must fall down, or else oer leap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my balck and deep desires; The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see. 3.6.1-20 Lennox: My former speeches have but hit your thoughts, Which can interpret further; only, I say, Things have been strangely borne. The Gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead; And the right valiant Banquo walkd too late; Whom, you may say, ift please you, Fleance killd, For Fleance fled; men must not walk too late. Who cannot want the thought, how monstrous It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain To kill their gracious father? Damned fact! How it did grieve Macbeth! Did he not straight In pious rage the two delinquents tear, That were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep; Was not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too; For twould have angered any heart alive To hear the men denyt. So that, I say, He has borne all things well; and I do think That had he Duncans sons under his key As, ant please heaven, he shall not ---they should find What twere to kill a father. 5.5.7-15 Macbeth: What is that noise? Seyton: It is the cry of women, my good lord. Macbeth: I have almost forgot the taste of fears. The time has been my senses would have coold To ear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir As life were in t. I have suppd full with horrors; Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, Cannot once start me.
