Quotes



The quote that sticks out to me the most in Macbeth is, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (Act 1 Scene 1 Line 12). It isn't that long and it seems like something stupid, but it has a lot of meaning. Fair means like it acceptable to do; then foul is disgusting, revolting, and not acceptable to do. So it is kind of  a paradox. 

"First Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! 
Second Witch: All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cowdor! 
Third Witch: All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter!"
This quote changed the mood of the book. It was a big driving force into Macbeth's drive for power. It is basically saying Macbeth will be the king so he is going to do anything to get his way and he succeeds.

    I agree cookie. The witches saying were pretty much giving macbeth more confidence and made him more selfish. Good post.
