Dark foreshadowing. Caesar- soothe sayer. A lot of exposition. A lot of rise to power. Questioning ethics. Weird- seyvant. Snapshots. Witches give sense of fear, ominous, intimidating.
(Explain how opening scene contributes to novel as a whole)
1-2
1. Glorified Macbeth. Provides indirect characterization. Foil showing lesser version of Macbeth. No ending with rebels. Rebellions an rebelliousness key themes. Key characters think they're above it. Rebels with a cause always think it's unfair authority figures don't serve them.
2. Another revolt. Witches predicted already. Didn't mean it was because of them. Gives foreshadowing to Macbeth. Not to trust and not sad or remorseful.
1-3
Awareness in Macbeth that he doesn't want to confide in banquo. Knows he won't be supportive of doing the wrong thing.
1-4
Not completely truthful to Lady Macbeth . Three prophetic sisters, not witches. She's like you will be king, fearing that he'll be having a guilty conscience. Her characterization of him doesn't match up with his actions. Poison is insidious speech that he will manipulate him with. She's blood thirsty. Has to change her gender. Cultural context stereotypical gender views. Cut me off from my conscience.
3. Lady Macbeth there.
4. Lady Macbeth for sure Macbeth not so much. She's coaching him.
1-7?
Host responsible for safety. Macbeth is analyzing beforehand Lady none. Thinking like Caesar that he'd be in trouble if he did. Ambition. He's like nah dog. She's upset and he's holding onto his values.
Daggers- symbolic of betrayal violence murder
Macbeth needs a game face yo
