Macbeth ..Most useful/important quotes..!

louliewan

What I do if the question is about deception is write two lists side by side,on one side the deciever and the other side the decieved, you can then tie in some quotes like Duncan (of the Thane of Cawdor)"No more the Thane of Cawdor shall decieve our bosom interest"
For evil just list evildoers and what they do and a couple of quotes, The Witches evil, causing the Captain of a ship to be in storms at sea because she wouldn't share her chestnuts,"Though his bark cannot be lost yet it shall be tempest tossed"

Stuff for describing Macbeth 'O worthiest cousin', 'noble Macbeth', 'brave Macbeth, well he deserves that name', 'valour's minion', 'worthy Macbeth', 'bellona's bridegroom', 'unititled tyrant', 'butcher', 'dwarvish thief'. i always throw in usurper as well.
Stuff for describing Lady Macbeth 'honoured/fair and noble hostess,' 'fiend like queen', the fourth witch(by critics)
