Macbeth: Act 1: Scenes 4-7

Disease/Injury:
Pg 50-Lady Macbeth: The illness should attend it
Pg 60-Macbeth: That we but teach blood instructions
Pg 60-Macbeth: This even-handed justice commends th'ingredience of our poisoned chalice
Pg 62-Lady Macbeth: And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
Pg 64-Macbeth: When we have marked with blood those sleepy two

These lines that I have above are all to do with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's plot to kill the king. Basically they're going to get the two guards drunk and then kill the king with their daggers (to frame them). "When we have marked with blood those sleepy two" is basically saying when we have killed the king and blamed it on the two guards (while they're passed out I'm assuming). Now that the king is dead, Lady Macbeth can take her crown that she wants so badly. Lady Macbeth is willing to kill to get a crown, which to me shows disease in itself.

Macbeth: Act 1: Scenes 1-3

For my blogs I'm going to focus mainly on Disease and injury.

Disease/Injury:
Pg 26-Duncan: What bloody man is that?
Pg 26-Sergeant: Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution
Pg 28-Sergeant: Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds
Pg 28-Sergeant: My gashes cry for help

Obviously I got these from the class notes you put up considering they're pretty much verbatim. But anyway. This play is in a way centered around death. I chose to focus on disease and injury for that reason...I figured there would be a lot about it throughout the whole play. A lot of the lines having to do with injury in these early chapters are from the guards who speak to each other about visions they had (especially the dreams with the weird sisters). Later on though I think the lines are going to start to turn from casual speaking to lines about the injuries of the dead and murdered.
