The scene starts with Duncan talking about the castle. He says “This castle hath a pleasant seat”. I think this means that the castle has a pleasant feeling. His next line “Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself, Unto our gentle senses”, for me, mean that it allows them to be somewhat relaxed. Then Banquo talks about a “temple-haunting marlet”. A Marlet, commonly blue and white, is a small bird with no feet. Banquo also builds on what Duncan said by saying that the castle has ‘delicate’ air. Lady Macbeth then enter and Duncan calls her a ‘honoured hostess’. Lady Macbeth then talks. Duncan brings up Macbeth by asking “Where’s the Thane of Cawdor?”. He says that Macbeth’s love is so strong it is as sharp as a spur, as sharp object attached to a riders boot. Lady Macbeth replies then Duncan ends the scene by taking his leave.

In this scene, there is a big Soliloquy from Macbeth. In said Soliloquy Macbeth talks about the consequence that will take place if he kills King Duncan. He also says that he is “(…) his kinsman and his subject”, and a kinsman and subject should be against the death of the king. This is one of the reasons, or excuses as Lady Macbeth sees it, that Macbeth gives not to murder the King. Lady Macbeth the enters and asked why he had left the chamber. Macbeth responded by asking if he was asked for. Lady Macbeth then replies by saying that he should know if he was called for. Lady Macbeth then says was the hope drunk. She says this as when you’re not thinking properly. Also when you are drunk everything is fake so in a way she is saying his hope if ‘fake’. She then builds and says “Wherein you dress’d yourself? hath it slept since?” I think she is saying that he dresses so highly like a lord, as he was made one by the king, but he does not act how he dresses, like a brave lord. She also calls Macbeth a coward. Macbeth then says “I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none”. This means he is saying he can do all that a man can do, and is calling Lady Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth says “screw your courage to the sticking-place” which is explained in another post of mine. The link: http://wp.me/p6JCQx-1v .

The day in which they I had much success.  My brother is unable to gather the strength and power to outsmart the headmaster. In the past year I had no authority in this school how ever as the years have past I have built up my status and now have the power to overcome this evil headmaster. The three membership leaders have praised me much, however I am not sure if I can trust due to their position in this school. They referred to me as very intellectual but it may just be to entice me to join them. But I need to tell my partner, my brother Macbeth not to lose hope and happiness as I will conquer the headmaster. And to that I bid farewell and we must meet and speak again.

1)Desire For Power                           “Fill me from the crown to the toe top full of dirset cruelty”

“Unsex me here”                               She want to be a man, so she can be stronger.

She wants to be a man so she can be strong enough and brave enough to kill King Duncan. She needs the power to kill him.

She doesn’t want to kill Duncan herself as it was not the kind of thing that women would do.
