Macbeth Mind Map Act 1

"Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here. And fill me from thw crown to the toe top-full lf direst cruelty. Make thick my blood. Stop up th' access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visitins of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between Th' effect and it."1.5

Lady Macbeth is a loyal and devoted wife to her husband Macbeth. She can be considered one of the most powerful femal characters in literature because of her lack of humanity. She has no remorse when it comes to killing ducan because she is blinded by her own desires to become queen. She also is the force the drives Macbeth into going through with the plan to kill KInd Duncan.

" Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me. I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneess gums And bashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this." 1.7

The three witches (aka wired sisters ) are the ones who give Macbeth the prophecy that he will be king. They play a majoy role in the story because Macbeth goes to them when he needs answers.

" All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Than of Glamis

All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Than of Cawdor

All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king herafter." 1.3

Lady Macbeth

Act 1 Scene 5

" Make thick my blood. Stop up th' acess and passage to remorse, That no compunctious cisiting of nature Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between Th' effect and it. Come to my womens breasts And take my milk for gall, you murderingministers, Wherever in your sightless subtances You wait on natures mischief. Come, thich night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell. that my een knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark To crt ' Hold, hold!'"

Duncan

My pleanteous joys, Wanton in fullness, seek to hide themselves In drops or sorrow.- 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 honor must Not unasompanied invest him only, But signs of noblness,like stars, shall shine ON all deservers.- From hence to inverness And bind us further to you."

Act 1 Scene 4

Macbeth

"The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step On which I must fall fown or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hid your fires; Let now light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet le that be Which they eye fears, when it is done, to see."

Macbeth

"We will proceed no further in this business. He hah honored me of late, and i have bought Golden opinions from all sorts of people, Which would be worn now in thier newest gloss, Not cas aside so soon."

Lady Macbeth

"We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking place And we will not fail. When Duncan is asleep, hus two chamberlains Will i wine and wassail so convince That memory, the warder of the brain, Shall be fume, and receipt ot reason A limbeck only. When in swinish sleep Their drenche natures lies as in deat, What canon you and I perform upon Th' unguarded Duncan? What not put upon His spngy officers, who shall bear the guilt Of our great quell?"

" Stars, hid your fires; Let not ligt seee my black and deep desires."1.4

It is said that bad things happen at night. In this quote we see Macbeth calling to the darkness to hid his evil thought about murdering the king.

"The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fetal enterance of Duncan Under my battlements." 1.5

In this part of the story the reven symbolizes unfortunate events. We as the reader already know of Lady Macbeths plan to kill Duncan. So to Lady Macbeth the ravens hoarse call is a symbol of Duncans soon to come death.
