Act 3 scenes 1-3

In this chapter I there was a lot of imagery that took place. In scene one between Macbeth and Servant. On page 114 Macbeth is talking about how he killed Duncan when he uses a lot of imagery. " But to be safely thus: our fears in Banquo. Reigns that which would be feared. ... Who's being do I fear ... Duncan I have murdered." In this paragraph Macbeth talks about to be king is nothing unless he is safely king. He also says he is fearing Banquo. He has murdered Duncan. So he uses the imagery of Death and fear. In scene 2 Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are talking Macbeth uses a lot of imagery. It starts on line 15, " We have scotched the snake, not killed it ... Both worlds suffer ... Ere we will eat our meal in fear and sleep ... Better between be with the dead ... Than on the torture of the mind to lie ... After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. This paragraph shows Injury, Death, Fear, and Sleep.

Act 2

In this Act the imagery that stuck to me the most was Sleep. In scene one on page 74 I felt that sleep was important. Line 24 Banquo says, " I dreamt last night of the three Weird Sister." In this quote Banquo says he has a encounter with witches where they told him what was to come true. Next in Scene 2 Macbeth uses alot of Sleep Imagery. On page 82, Line 53 Macbeth is talking to Lady Macbeth and states, " Still it cried 'Sleep no more! to all the house 'Glamis hath murdered sleep, and their Cawdor sleep no more: Macbeth sleep no more. Macbeth in this scene was hearing voices say sleep no more.

Act 4 Scene 3

In this scene I get all kinds of different Imagery. The imagery I see is disease, death, and Injury. 183, 186, 190. In this scene on pg 183, Macduff is talking to Malcolm usuing the imagery of Injury. He says, " Bleed, Bleed, poor country."He tells the country to bleed. On page 190, Macduff and Malcolm are talking about a king. Macduff says, " Whats the disease he means?" He is saying what does this mean? Next on page 186 line 96, Macduff is talking to Malcolm and he uses Planting, Death, and Fear in one paragraph. "Sticks deeper grows with more pernicious root, " The sword of our slain kings: yet they do not fear." Macduff is saying that the greed is more deeply planted in the root and it has cause death among our kings. But dont fear, Scottland has plenty to satisfy your wants.

Act 4 Scenes 1-2

In these scenes in Act 4 the major imagery that come out to me are Fear, Injury, and Double. This images come out in these sections because Macbeth comes to witches and apparitions to look for his fate and more answers of being king. On page 158, the witches are talking and they use the imagery double. Pg 158 line 10 " Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. The witches are coming together is scene. On page 164 it shows the imagery of fear and injury. Line 82, " Thou hast harped my fear aright." Macbeth states from this quote that the Apparition has touched on his fear. Also, on 164 the 2nd Apparation says be Bloody, bold, and resolute. The Appatition is basically saying to be determined

Act 3 scenes 4-6

In this passage the two main images that stuck out to me were Death and Fear. The reason why the images stuck out in this section was because the murderers talk about the killing of the king. On pg 134 it says " bound in To saucy doubts and fears." Macbeth in this section talks about how he is trapped and confined in doubts and fears. Also, on this page it talks about death. " The least a death to nature." The Murderer is stating that the king is in the ground with cuts on his head and the minimum of them fatal.

Act 1 Scenes 1-3/ Shadow and Darkness

In Act 1 scenes 1-3 Shadow and Darkness play a big role in this play mostly coming from the witches. The witches bring a since of Shadow and Darkness because they are mysterious taling about people, predicting people's fate, and putting curses on individuals. It states in scene one that they want to meet in a dark place where there is no sun and fog and filthy air. In scene 3 Banquo explains that they are in a strange predicament. He says that Macbeth might be king but the forces of evil often tempt us to tell us the truths and we can be betrayed. He says that this is strange thing and that it could hurt us if we dont pay attention.

Act 1 Scenes 4-7/Sleep

In Act Scenes 4-7 sleep is a big takes a big roll because for someone to function they have to get enough sleep to function and move through the day. In Act scene 7 on page 62 Lady Macbeth talks about Macbeth saying that are his ambitions and dreams sleeping. This means that what he wanted to do are not in thought anymore. Also, in scene 7 on page 64 it shows that sleep is important because it states when Duncan goes to sleep Lady Macbeth with get the guards drunk and then kill Duncan. When characters are sleep in this book they loose a sense of focus and attention.
