Macbeth Quotations

In the beginning of the book in act 1 scene 3, the three witches gather in order to talk to Macbeth. When the 3 witches finally see Macbeth, the greet him and the third witch says, "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter." (17). The third witch is greeting Macbeth and telling him that he will king in the near future. This quote excites Macbeth and puts the idea of him being king in his head, which starts the whole action of the story. This idea leads Macbeth to kill Duncan and Banquo, which are actions of ensuring that he will be king.

In act 1 scene 4, Macbeth meets with Duncan and other nobleman. Duncan announces that Macbeth is the thane of Cawdor and Malcom, his son, will be his successor to the throne. After the announcement Macbeth says to himself, "The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down or else overleap for in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." (29). In this quote, Macbeth is saying that Macbeth must kill Duncan in order to become king. He is also saying that he doesn't want the light to see his dark thoughts. This quote shows that Macbeth is willing to kill and that he really wants to become king. Also, Macbeth is ashamed of his thoughts, but his desire dismisses it.
