By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes. -
-
"All hail Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!"
-
I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to hell........I have done the deed. -
My hands are of your colour; but I shame
To wear a heart so white. -
Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, / Are stol'n away and fled; which puts upon them
-
and with his former title greet Macbeth
-
"O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! / Thou mayst revenge"
-
"The power of man, for none of woman born/Shall harm Macbeth"
"Macbeth shall never vanquished be, until/ Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinaine Hill/ Shall come against him." -
"Let us seek out some desolate shade, and there / Weep our sad bosoms empty" (4.3.1-2), says Malcolm to Macduff, when Macduff tells him of the terrible situation in Scotland. Macduff wants Malcolm's support for a war against Macbeth, but Malcolm is extremely cautious. He doesn't commit to anything until he has thoroughly tested Macduff's honor and intentions. Malcolm does this by pretending that he would be a king even more evil than Macbeth
-
A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once
the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of
watching! 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? -
Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
—Macbeth's final words. -
Hail, King of Scotland - Macduff about Malcolm
