macbeth: Soliloquy

What can I do to stop all this pain? This guilt? Theres no way out now. I just killed my loyal friend duncan just to be king. He didn't deserve this, and i definitely don't deserve to be king.  I figured killing duncan will make me and my lady happy, well I thought wrong. As long as I obeyed my lady and wasn't a coward was all that mattered to me. I can't stop all this killing until I get a crown on my head and no one will get in my way. How will i keep this secret to myself? What if someone suspects me of killing duncan? This is driving me crazy and I'm turning into a mad man!

PART TWO: 4/2

PART ONE:
6.) Yes she is a cold-blooded murderer, Even though she wasn't the person to literally kill king duncan she was the person behind it all. She was the one that framed the two guards by taking blood and putting it on the guards, and she put the dagger back in their hands.
7.) Lady macbeth faints in act II to make it not look suspicious and to look innocent. It works because it fooled Malcolm, Macduff, and Donalbain and she was carried away.
8.) The death of duncan haunts him and he feels completely guilty. Macbeth starts to say things that could give him and his wife away after seeing his body. They are trying their best to keep the murder low-key and not showing any suspicion.
9.) Lady Macbeth didn't kill the king herself because Duncan looked like her father when he was sleeping.
10.) Being a king isn't an easy job , He would have a lot of responsibilities. He will also have to deal with that guilt forever and hope that no one suspects him from murdering king duncan or that could ruin everything

PART TWO:1.) "My hands are the same color as yours - but I'd be ashamed to have a heart as white as yours!" (pg. 73)

2. Macbeth "Oh, how I wish now I hadn't lost my self-control and killed them!"
Macduff "Why did you then?" (pg. 85)

3.)"Where's that knocking? What's happened to me, that every noise scares me? Whose hands are these? They're plucking my eyes out! Is there enough water in the oceans to wash my hands off this blood? No! More likely my hands will stain the vast green seas blood-red." (pg. 73)

4. "Oh no! They have wakened and it isn't done. We'll be ruined if we've bungled it. Ssh! I left the daggers ready. He couldn't miss them. If Duncan hadn't looked like my father in his sleep, I'd have done it myself." (pg. 69)

5.) "The wine that has made Duncan's guards drunk has made me bold; what has drowned them has given me fire. What's that? Listen ! It was an owl hooting, that fatal night-watchman, who given the grimmest good-night. Macbeth is doing the murder." (pg. 47; 1-4)

PART ONE: 3/31

PART ONE:
1.) The relationship between macbeth and lady macbeth is that they love and care about each other very much. They have a really close bond and are like partners in crime even though lady macbeth is pretty much in charge and tells macbeth what to do.
2.) Macbeth decides to murder duncan because lady macbeth tells him to and that the witches said that killing him would make him the next king.
3.) Macbeth seems to have two sides. He had courage and brave after fighting in the war but now seems like a monster and is power hungry for deciding to kill the king.
4.) I think macbeth will get away with the murder because no one would suspect him of killing duncan since very one looks at him in a good way. They planned the murder perfectly to make it seem as if duncan never did it but the guards did it.
5.) I do not think macbeth should murder duncan. Duncan doesn't deserve to be killed because its not like they have anything against each other. Eventually someone will find out and he will have to pay for his consequences.

PART TWO:
1.) If we could get away with the deed after it's done, then the quicker it were done, the better. If the murder had no consequences, and is death ensured success... If, when I strike the blow, that would be the end of it - here, right here, on this side of eternity - we'd willingly chance the life to come. (Act 1 Scene 7 Page 55)

2.)All hail, Macbeth! You'll be king one day! (Act 1 Scene 3 Page 31)

3.)You shall be king. (Act 1 Scene 3 Page 35)

4.)Brave Macbeth - he well deserves that name! (Act 1 Scene 2 Page 23)5.)

5.) "What monster was it then that made you share this scheme with me? When you dared to do it, then you were a man." (pg. 57)

6.)"We fail? Just screw up your courage to the uttermost, and we won't fail." (pg. 57)

7.)"We teach the art of bloodshed, then become the victims of our own lessons. This evenhanded justice makes us swallow our own poison." (pg. 55)

8.) "I'm settled it then. All my faculties shall be devoted to this terrible deed. Let's go and pass the time as perfect hosts. We must conceal our false hearts behind false faces." (pg. 61)

9.)"We will speak further about it. Just look innocent ---- a troubled face is always dangerous. Leave all the rest to me." (pg.31; 68-70)

10.) "Welcome him with your eye, your handshake, your conversation. Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent hidden underneath it. For Duncan's coming, preparations must be made, and you must put this night's important business under my direction." (pg. 31; 61-65)
