PLEASE PLEASE HELP!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love this the best

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more!. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing!.
--Macbeth, Act V, scene v


There is whole lot you can google from, including http://www!.literary-quotations!.com/m/mac!.!.!.

However, you need to know what is it that is required from the test, and give an analysis of the situation, added with the right quotation!.

Have a booklet or something to show situations; like

1) Reference of Macbeth's character:
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes!.

I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er!.


2) Lady Macbeth being more scheming than Macbeth
Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it!.

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; make thick my blood,
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature's mischief!

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: thou wouldst be great;
Art not without ambition; but without
The illness should attend it!.
