- Act 1 scene 7
- "I have no spurTo prick the sides of my intent, but onlyVaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itselfAnd falls on the other"
- The quote "Stars, hide your fires!Let not light see my black and deep desires." relates to violence as Macbeth talks about how he will kill Duncan and assume his position as the king.
- Act 3 scene 4
- "I am in bloodStepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,Returning were as tedious as go o'er."
- The quote "Look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under it." means. Referencing a serpent is also an allusion to the Biblicalscene in the Garden of Eden, in which a snake tempts Eveand leads to humanity's expulsion from paradise. At the same time giving herself the m ight of a great serpent to carry through her task in killing Duncan.
- Act 3 scene 2
- "Nought's had, all's spentWhere our desire is got without content."
- Here Macbeth is talking about whether he should follow through on hisplan to kill Duncan. He observes that he is being motivatedby aspirations for power rather than responding to aspecific injustice. This also correlates to violence by relating to the murder of Duncan.
- Act 5 scene 1
- "Out, damned spot! out, I say!"
- When Macbeth says, “I am in blood” he presents himself asentirely immersed in murder: Instead of causing blood tosimply flow from others, he also feels the effects of thatviolent action – the blood he has spilled surrounds him.
- This quote means that the lines reveal a sharp change in Lady Macbeth’sdisposition. Whereas before, she believed completely thatambition (and the murder of Duncan) would generatepositive results, here she concludes just the opposite.
- Lady Macbeth has taken to sleepwalking. One night, shewanders and rubs her hands while saying this line.We see here the extent to which guilt has crippled LadyMacbeth and disrupted her ability to live a normal life.Saying this line while trying to wash her hands shows thatwhile she earlier believed that she could simply wash herhands clear of Duncan's blood, that in fact she could notpsychologically escape that blood at all.
