Macbeth quotes that show the theme?

  • Homework , i need to find four quotes to show the them please help.

  • Answer:

    Dude, there are PLENTY of themes in Macbeth. Gender roles, as an example: "Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe topful Of direst cruelty!" Act 1, sc 5, ll 38 - 43 and "Bring forth men-children only For thy undaunted mettle should compose Nothing but males" Act 1, sc 7, ll 72 - 74 Another theme: the inability of the "Macbeths" to be true rulers. This is usually conveyed through the use of blood: Duncan, the true king, after being assassinated lies with "His silver skin laced with his golden blood" Act 2, sc 3, ll 111 - 112 While Lady Macbeth struggles with blood that is less glorious Act 5, sc 1, ll 16 - 19: "Lady M. Yet here’s a spot. Doct. Hark! she speaks. I will set down what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly. Lady M. Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?" Really, though, there are so many themes you could go on for days.

Nick is on the right track. Shakespeare cared nothing for messages in his plays. He was only interested in making a little more money. Happily, he turned out to be a genius at play writing. He was an entertainer and those that want to discover the psychology or deep meaning in his plays are only pasting their reactions on top of what he wrote. It is generally accepted that the overall meaning of the play is that too much ambition is a bad thing.
