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.

Hey Simon!
Even though it's been so long sense you've done this blog, I thought I might as well grab some extra points. ;)
But, yeah, I really like how you wrote your blog. The set up was easy to understand. You gave all the quotes that relate to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth planning to kill Duncan, which definitely have some imagery. And, i agree with ya your images, saw some sleep, some injury, and some darkness. good work!
Simon-
I also like how you wrote your blog. Good writing :). One thing to think about was the apparition of the dagger that Macbeth saw prior to his murder of Duncan. This was the beginning of Macbeth's insanity, and one of hte most important aspects of the book.
