Important Words in Macbeth - Trust, Honour, Loyalty

everything that Lady Macbeth has to say, Macbeth says “I am settled, and bend up each corporal agent to this terrible feat. Away and mock time with fair show: false face must hide what the false heart doth know.” This shows that he deeply trusts Lady Macbeth in what she has said and believes that he will succeed in murdering King Duncan.Loyalty      →In Act One, Scene Four Macbeth and King Duncan have a great relationship with each other. Macbeth has just succeeded in battle so the king is tremendously pleased with him. This is illustrated when King Duncan compliments Macbeth, for example “O worthiest cousin!”.Macbeth shows his loyalty to King Duncan by saying “The service and Loyalty I owe, in doing it, pays itself. Your highness’ part is to receive our duties: and our duties Are to your throne and state children and servants, Which do but what they should, by doing everything safe towards your love and honour?”Honour     →In Act One, Scene Three Ross tells Macbeth that he has the great honour of becoming Thane of Cawdor. He says “And, for an earnest of a greater honour, He bade me, from him, call thee thane of Cawdor: In which addition, hail, most worthy thane! for it is thine.” Macbeth is honoured and surprised.Emotion    →Macduff is sympathetic to Lady Macbeth when King Duncan is murdered because he thinks as she is a Lady she will be extremely emotional. He shows this by saying “It’s not for a woman’s ears”When Macduff arrives at Macbeth’s castle and discovers the King murdered in his bed, Macbeth puts on a display of anger and upset at the news and kills the two chamber guards. Duncan’s sons, Malcolm and Doanldbain, decide to run away to ~England and Ireland out of fear in case anyone attempts to murder them. Macbeth is happy when he is crowned King of Scotland.Suspicion  →Banquo is suspicious of Macbeth. Macbeth has got everything that he wanted now; Caudor, Glamie and now he has been crownd King of Scotland, just like the three weird women had prophesised. Banquo fears that to get what he wanted, Macbeth used evil deeds. Even though he may be King for now, this title will not remain in his family. This is because #banquo, himself, will be the root and father of many kings. Macbeth being crowned King is evidence that the three, weird sisters’ prophecies will become true. Banquo has hope in his mind and will not stay quiet any longer.
