- "We will proceed no further in this business./He hath honored me of late, and I have bought/Golden opinions from all sorts of people." (I.vii.15-17)
- When Macbeth informs his wife of this prophecy, the issue is further explored. She starts acting out King Duncan's murder right away, pleading with fate to make her less feminine so she can help carry out the crime. In contrast, her spouse is deeply conflicted and wonders how they fit into the plans the witches made. When it comes to the corrupt nature of this information, these individuals work against each other.
- "Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,/And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full/Of direst cruelty. " (I.v.15-18)
- Lady Macbeth is troubled by her role in Duncan's death as the plot of Macbeth develops, and she even begins to see his blood on her hands. But Macbeth turns violent and paranoid, killing rival Macduff's wife and kid as well as his friend Banquo. It is obvious that ambition has totally perverted this man—who was formerly honorable and kind—and driven him to commit violent and sinister acts.
- "Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?" (V.i.30)
