Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor,
That shalt be king hereafter.
O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!
Chance may crown me,
If chance will have me king.
Is this a dagger which I see before me?
Or art thou but a dagger of the mind.
Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.
Let not light see my black and deep desires.
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
If we should fail?
I am his kinsman and his subjuct.
As his host, not bear the knife myself.
Who dares to do more, is none.
We will proceed no further in this business.
Hail! The Prince of Cumberland!
Which I must fall down, or else o'er-leap.
Two truths are told.
She strike upon the bell.
It is a knell.

Hi May,
ReplyDeleteGreat job in depicting Macbeth's thoughts and feelings before the assasination. I also liked how you portrayed Macbeth's uncertainty in carrying through with the plan of killing Duncan. I especially liked the line "False face must hide what the false heart doth know" because it also represents the Macbeths and how they were pretending to be loyal subjects to Duncan and sincere hosts. Keep up the good work!

Good job May! I really like how your organized your paragraph. The structure really helps the audience organize our thoughts! My favorite part is "Who dares to do more, is none" I totally agree that Macbeth keeps trying to become better but slowly he becomes insane with nothing! You portrayed Macbeth effectively with your choice of words! I can't wait to read another piece of your work!
