Today we attempted to finish digging for our golden quotes. We wrote one paragraph on how Macbeth is characterised in 1.2.
Some of the quotations:
"For brave Macbeth — well he deserves that name —
Disdaining Fortune, with his brandish'd steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like valour's minion carved out his passage
Till he faced the slave." I. ii. 16-20.
And again, Ross speaks of him as
"Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof." I. ii. 54.
"As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion." I.ii.35
"What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won. I.ii.67
I also introduced you to www.shmoop.com/macbeth/, which is an excellent revision site, and for those of you who struggled with reading the play in its entirety, it may well be the lifeline you are looking for. Check it out!
