| "The instruments of darkness tell us truths...to betray's in deepest consequence" Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 123-5 | Banquo - Evil, supernatural beings. Banquo's clearly just full-on warned Macbeth n he still doesn't listen wtf |
| "This supernatural soliciting cannot be ill, cannot be good", "And nothing is but what is not" Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 129-30 and 141 | Macbeth (Aside) - Echoes the witches' "fair is foul", Macbeth being drawn in |
| "Stars hide your fires, let not light see my black and deep desires" Act 1, Scene 4, Line 51-2 | Macbeth - Straight away he's struggling to contain his ambition, which he himself calls "black" (lol niggaz) |
| "Art not without ambition but without the illness should attend it" Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 17-8 | Lady M - Link between ambition and "illness", straight away Lady M thinks about how they're gonna kill the D-man |
| "Come, you spirits...unsex me here and fill me...top-full of direst cruelty" Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 39-41 | Lady M - She thinks she needs to be a man in order to act on her ambition, Shakespeare's being a chauvinist pig twat |

| "I am his kinsman and his subject...Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office..." Act 1, Scene 7, Lines 13-8 | Macbeth: Debating whether he should kill Duncan and lists all of his peng qualities. This reminds us of the grave outrage killing the king is init - regicide context: Guy Fawkes |
| "Is this a dagger which I see before me", "wicked dreams", "witchcraft", "the wolf", "ghost" Act 2, Scene 1, Line 33 | Macbeth - he's gone all hallucinatory n wotnot, semantic field of the supernatural |
| "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?" Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 60-1 | Macbeth - Straight away Macbeth is feeling guilty. Nice metaphor/hyperbole |
| "By the clock 'tis day, and yet dark night", "a falcon...was by a mousing owl at and killed", "Duncan's horses...ate each other" Act 2, Scene 4 | Old Man and Ross - Natural order's got bare disturbed since Macbeth messed with the divine right of kings, oh shieetttttt |

| "what's done is done" Act 3, Scene 2, Line 12 | Lady M - she's apparently dealing with the guilt of killing Duncan better than her husband and wants them to just forget about it. Maccy B has other ideas... |
| "O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!" Act 3, Scene 2, Line 36 | Macbeth - he's found that killing Duncan hasn't brought him the happiness he thought it would as there's always more ppl to kill and he's bare anxious. Theme of mental illness? |
| "the bat hath flown", "black Hecat", "there shall be done a deed of dreadful note" Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 40-4 | Macbeth - semantic field of the supernatural, he's aware that what he's doing is "dreadful" |
| "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck" Act 3 Scene 2, Line 45 | Macbeth - he's flyin soloooooo |
| "Which of you have done this?" Act 3, Scene 4, Line 47 | Macbeth - seeing Banquo's ghost scare the shit out of him and he gets all paranoid. Guilty conscience?! |
| "I am in blood stepped in so far, that...returning were as tedious as go o'er" Act 3, Scene 4, Lines 135-7 | Macbeth - He's decided to go back to the 3 witches which isn't a great idea, and has decided that he may as well just keep killing man |
| "How did you dare to trade and traffic with Macbeth in riddles and affairs of death..." Act 3, Scene 5, Lines 3-5 | Hecat - speaks in rhyme like the other witches. Getting all sassy and queen-witch ting. Presents the witches as mischevious, meddling creatures |

| Maccy B: "Then live Macduff; what need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure..." Act 4, scene 1, line 81-2 | Macbeth is putting his faith in the witches which seems to be a pretty dumb move js (is he dizzy?) He also shows his aggression in wanting to kill Macduff anyway |
| Maccy B: "That will never be. Who can impress the forrest, bid the tree...?" Act 4, scene 1, line 94-5 | Macbeth is spittin barz like the witches! He is becoming evil |
| Macbeth: "And damned all those that trust them." (Referring to the witches) Act 4, scene 1, line 138 | If damned be all those who trust them then surely Macbeth is damned lol. His ambition leads him to trust them and foreshadows his downfall |
