Life Death Veins Blood/Bloody Stains Vampires Healing Rivers Robert Fustero and Carol Ajjan Pain End Feelings Red
Act II • pg. 27 Macbeth: “What hands here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes. Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?” Here, Macbeth is feeling guilty. He knows that he has done a terrible deed. He cannot handle all of the current things that have already happened. Since blood stains, he knows that he will never be able to undo the thing that he has done. No matter how hard he tries he knows nothing will be able to set him free.
Act III • pg. 52 Macbeth: “It will have blood. They say blood will have blood.” Macbeth has begun to transition into his reckless character. But he is still feeling paranoid about the murders of King Duncan and Banquo. Here blood is like a river, it will continue to flow because Macbeth will continue to kill whoever is in his way in order to get what he wants.
Act III • pg. 52 Macbeth: “All causes shall give way. I am in blood stepped in so far, should I wade no more.” Macbeth has officially transitioned into his reckless self. He says that since he is already in so deep with what he has done, he must continue on further, there is no turning back. Blood is like quicksand, once you are in, you can’t get out and if you try to struggle, you sink faster, which is what happens to Macbeth as he fights to keep his throne since he cannot turn back to his normal self.
Conclusion • Blood/Bloody are words used in Macbeth to represent death. Death is immutable. When blood is involved in Macbeth it stains his or her clothes and it is difficult to wash off, symbolizing the permanent fate of death. Bloody is also used as an adjective meaning condemned. E.g. “It is the bloody business which informs thus to mine eyes.” - Macbeth. Blood is such a shocking thing to lay your eyes on. The crimson red has the stench of death upon the words.
DEATH/DEAD Chimed A, Greta O
Word Associations • Annihilation, end, finish, grave, decease, darkness, rest, silence, sleep, extinction, termination, tomb
First Quote • “Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more! By Sinel’s death I know I am Thane of Glamis” – Macbeth, p7 – line 76 Act 1, Scene 3 • Through Sinel’s death he will become the king of Glamis.
Second Quote • "Methought I heard a voice cry, 'Sleep no more!Macbeth does murder sleep!' the innocent sleep,Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care,The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath,Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,chief nourisher in life's feast.“ –Macbeth, pg 26, line 52, Act 2, scene 2 • Macbeth has already killed Duncan at this point and he is scared of what he has done. He thought he heard someone cry “sleep no more!..” and that scares him as well. He says that he never wants to look on it (the murder) ever again.
Third Quote • “She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word.” – Macbeth, p86, line 17, Act 5, Scene 5 • He became brutal compared to the Macbeth at the beginning. He didn’t even care about his wife’s death and he said that her death was bad timing.
Conclusion The words dead and death are two significant words for this play because the whole play is about how death can change people and their hearts. Macbeth became heartless in the end of the play. He killed Macduff’s family in the middle of the day, but his first kills were at night and were more secretive. This play shows that people will go as far as to kill others to gain power.

Lady Macbeth • Hand: guidance, capability, actions • Speech: Act 1, Scene 5, Line 64 • O, never(65) Shall sun that morrow see! Your face, my Thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters. To beguile the time, Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, Your hand, your tongue; look like the innocent flower,(70) But be the serpent under't. He that's coming Must be provided for; and you shall put This night's great business into my dispatch,Which shall to all our nights and days to come Give solely sovereignsway and masterdom.(75) • Lady Macbeth is guiding Macbeth in how he should act and approach the job of killing Duncan. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to put on a façade of kindness but to ultimately get the job done. She is testing Macbeth’s capabilities and willingness to kill. In her mind his willingness to kill Duncan verifies his manhood and his ability to chase his dream and commit any action in order to become king.
Macbeth • Hand: physical, agency, ability • Act 1,Scene 7, Line 9 • But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'd jump the life to come. But in these cases We still have judgement here, that we but teach Bloody instructions, which being taught return To plague the inventor. This even-handed justice(10) Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chaliceTo our own lips. He's here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong both against the deed; then, as his host, Who should against his murderer shut the door,(15) Not bear the knife myself. • Macbeth is thinking to himself and is reflecting on Lady Macbeth’s proposal of murdering Duncan. Macbeth understands the fact that while there is free agency of earth the even hand of justice will punish those you do bad things. Macbeth understands that he will be punished if he kills Duncan and he is questioning his ability to perform the murder. The anxiety surrounding the situation affects Macbeth’s physical state and he is extremely worried. This situation even goes as far as after he kills Duncan he sees visions of daggers.
Malcolm • Hand: direction, skill, capability • Act 4, Scene 3, Line 42 • Be not offended; I speak not as in absolute fear of you. I think our country sinks beneath the yoke;(45) It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash Is added to her wounds. I think withal There would be hands uplifted in my right; And here from gracious England have I offer Of goodly thousands. But for all this,(50) When I shall tread upon the tyrant's head, Or wear it on my sword, yet my poor country Shall have more vices than it had before, More suffer and more sundry ways than ever, By him that shall succeed.(55) • This Malcolm is speaking about how the people would follow him in his cause. Malcolm is asking for people’s hands, in other words their trust. Malcolm has the skill and capability to earn the trust have the people and he wants to succeed and lead and direct them.
Conclusion • The significance of the word hand is that it reflects the actions of the characters and how their actions remain with them throughout the book. Lady Macbeth and Macbeths use their hands for sin while Malcom uses his hands for good. The character’s hands symbolize the nature of each individual and their choice to use them for both positive and negative actions.
Heart Heart appeared many times in Shakespeare's play of Macbeth. Shakespeare used heart various time by giving it different meanings. Heart is commonly associated with courage, honor, love, compassion, the center of emotions and the physical heart. Yihan and Ryan
Important Speech #3Act I Scene III line 150 • Macbeth: “If good, why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs.” • (Macbeth is wonder if he’s happy why does he keep in visioning horrors that goes against his nature.) • Here heart is representing his honor, integrity, and sense of justice. The pounding is from the nervousness and fear that comes from knowing he’s doing something wrong.
Important speech #2 Act I Scene VII Line 93 • Macbeth: “I am settled and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat away, and mock the time with fairest who; False face must hide what the false heart doth know.” • (Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are going to kill Duncan and they must try to look innocent even if in their hearts they know that there guilty.) • The word heart is used to represent justice and the false heart is false justice, with which they hide their guilt.
Important #3Act II Scene III line 132 • Macbeth: “Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make’s love known.” • (This speech takes place directly after finding the king dead and is Macbeth excuse for why he got mad and killed the guards.) • Heart here means the “center of emotion” and also references the inability of any man to control their own heart.
Conclusion • The heart shows the character’s true feeling and their inner character, not the mask that they show to the world. While the characters mask their emotions there hearts always show what they truly think of what has happened. Weather it be pride by their deed or contempt for there very thoughts, there heart always shows there true feelings.

Speech #2 • Act II, Scene III, Line 132-133 • “Here lay Duncan, His silver skin laced with his golden blood, And his gashed stabs looked like a breach in nature For ruin’s wasteful entrance; there, the murderers, Steeped in the colors of their trade, their daggers Unmannerly breeched with gore.

Nature By John and Jessie
Word Association • Plants and animals • Living • Traits • Characteristics • Outdoorsy • Surroundings • Behaviors • Normal
Speech 1 “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised. Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way.” Act I, Scene V, Lines 14 - 17 • Lady Macbeth is talking to herself about what the future hold for Macbeth. She is saying she is worried about his kind personality and how he will be able to rule without being more stern. • The word “nature” here is used as a synonym for “character” or “behavior.” Macbeth
Speech 2 “And Duncan’s horses, beauteous and swift, the minions of their race, turned wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out, can contending ‘gainst obedience, as they would make war with mankind.” Act II, Scene IV, Lines 16 – 21 • Ross is speaking to an old man. He is talking about how the animals at Macbeth’s castle were not acting normal and their behaviors were strange, thus they were going against their usual “nature.”
Speech 3 “Boundless in temperance in nature is a tyranny.” Act IV, Scene III, Lines 76 – 77 • Macduff is saying that a man has a natural rule over himself, but this rule is broken if he acts differently from his usual behaviors.
Conclusion • The word “nature” has two meanings in this story. It describes the Earth, as well as the characteristics of people. In Macbeth, it is more often used as a way of describing the characters’ behaviors and actions. For example, we watched Macbeth’s nature deteriorate as he progressively loses his morality.

Act 2, Scene II • “Stern’st good-night- The owl’s call is supposed to portend death. The bellman was a person who rang a bell outside a condemned person’s cell the night before his execution, to warn him to confess his sins.” (Holt pg. 459). Page 25, line 6: Lady Macbeth- “It was the owl that shrieked, the futal bellman which gives the stern’st good-night.”
Lady Macbeth is waiting for Macbeth to kill King Duncan, so metaphorically, the bellman is ringing the bell for Duncan’s execution. • It is a metaphor for Macbeth killing Duncan. The fatal, final goodnight represents death. The bellman symbolizes the execution of Duncan. Night is used as an eternal sleep; death.
Act 3, Scene II Page 45, line 58: Macbeth- “Whiles night’s black agents to their preys do rouse.”
