Macbeth Class Notes


Act 1 Scene 3


Opens with “Thunder” Thunder associated with the witches. Analysis


Just as thunder is….


Macbeth: “foul and fair a day” – Macbeth uses the same language as the witches thus connecting him to them. These are the first words uttered by Macbeth (structure). The impression the audience has of Macbeth from his own words is a stark contrast to the impression of “brave Macbeth” we are given from the others. Does this highlight his contrasting personality and ability to deceive those around him?


Banquo refers to the witches as “devil” – showing his perception of the witches.
