Storyboard Text
- It is the poison’d cup: it is too late
- the cup has been poisoned!
- The royals have now all died
- I am justly kill’d with my own treachery. The king is to blame!

- I will make thee drink thy own poison!
- The motif of rotting and decay is found in one of the final scenes where the royal family all dies and the castle is being stormed. This symbol showcases the moral decay of the characters. The poison in the scene serves also as a use of imagery to emphasizes the corrupted institutions. Shakespeare also uses this to show his characters complexities through their moral decaying throughout the play.
