LA2 (period 7)- 4/2 Handout: Part 1&2

PART I:
6. Lady Macbeth is a cold blooded murderer because she doesn't care about anything but herself and Macbeth and about what greater life they would have if she were queen and he were king. All the glory and riches all to themselves with nobody suspecting that it was them that are the murderers because of how friendly and innocent they seem.
7. Lady Macbeth pretends to faint in Act II because she needs to play off the act that she's helped murder King Duncan and to act all innocent, she pretends like she's going to pass out, so that no one would suspect that it's weird not for a "lady" to be disgusted by what has happened.
8. Macbeth's feelings have changed from the murder of King Duncan. Macbeth was very scared and worried after he killed Duncan and when the others found out Macbeth pretended to be very innocent.
9. Lady Macbeth didn't kill the king because he looked like her father in his sleep and if she did murder the king with her own hands it would be like killing her father and she would've been just as worried as Macbeth was. (page 69)
10. Now that Macbeth has murdered the king, I feel that he should move his kingdom elsewhere to make everyone wonder if someone's lurking around the kingdom killing leaders. If Macbeth wants to hide this secret he's going to have to forget like it's never happened (which is merely impossible) and continue on with his life of lies.

PART II: QUOTES
6. Lady Macbeth: Coward! Give me the daggers! Sleeping and dead people are like pictures of themselves. Only children fear a picture, even of the devil. If he's still bleeding, I'll smear the faces of the servants so it will look as if they did it. (Act 2 Scene 2 Page 73)

Lady Macbeth: My hands are the same color as yours - but I'd be ashamed to have a heart as white as yours! (Act 2 Scene 2 Page 73)

7. Macduff: Oh, gentle lady, my words are not for your ears. No woman could survive the telling. (Act 2 Scene 3 Page 81)

Lady Macbeth: Help me, please [pretending to faint] (Act 2 Scene 3 Page 85)

8. Macbeth: [Horrified] I won't go back! I'm afraid to think of what I've done. I daren't look at it again! (Act 2 Scene 2 Page 73)

Macbeth: If I had died an hour before this happened, I'd have lived a blessed life span. From now on, there's nothing left worth living for. Everything is a sham. Honor and dignity are dead. The wine of life has gone. Only the dregs remain. (Act 2 Scene 3 Page 83)

9. Lady Macbeth: ... If Duncan hadn't looked like my father in his sleep, I'd have done it myself. (Act 2 Scene 2 Page 69)

Lady Macbeth: We mustn't keep thinking about it like this; it will drive us mad. (Act 2 Scene 2 Page 71)
