Quote- "Is this a dagger which I see before me," (51)
I think this quote means a lot to the first 3 acts. I think it is important because there is a lot of deaths in these acts. Macbeth has Duncan killed and Banquo. Macbeth kills some guards to cover the fact that he killed Duncan. This quote matters to the play because this is what Macbeth says when he is thinking about killing Duncan.
I think that this quote is saying that Macbeth doesn't know if he should kill Duncan or not. This quote you can think that nothing is there but you also can believe that there is something there. This unsure like nature can be conveyed that he is unsure about the murder of Duncan.

Hey Bria,
ReplyDeleteI like your analyzation of the quote. I agree that when Macbeth is saying that line, he is unsure if he should kill Duncan. Macbeth hallucinates the dagger.
Great Job,

Hey Bria,
ReplyDeleteYou made a good point that he is unsure if he should kill Duncan and I think that really shows in the soliloquy that this quote comes out of.
