"Be a Man" Macbeth assignment

1. Act 4 scene 3 lines 67-69 : "Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damned in evils to top Macbeth."  While Malcom and Macduff are in discussion about Macbeth and how he is king, they also talk about how such a horrible man he is, and how not even a devil is more evil than him, because he is so manly, that he shows no mercy.  They describe him as a murderous monster that took over as king over greed.

2. Act 4 scene 3 lines 252-254 : "Be comforted.  Let's make us med'cines of our great revenge to cure this deadly grief."  After Ross tells Macduff that his whole family and house has been slaughtered, Malcom suggests that they get revenge on Macbeth.  Macduff would really like to get revenge on Macbeth now, that he has taken everything away from him.  Macduff needs to pull himself together and be a man and fight back and get revenge on Macbeth for his family.

3. Act 4 scene 3 lines268-269 : "Be this the whetstone of your sword.  Let grief convert to anger.  Blunt not the heart; enrage it."  In this quote, Malcom is encouraging Macduff to use his grief and transform it into anger so he gets motivated to kill Macbeth.  Macduff takes his manly advice and quickly turns his sadness into anger and becomes furious at Macbeth and wants no more but to get payback on Macbeth.

4. Act 5 scene 2 lines 1-5 : "The english power is near, led on by Malcom...revenges will burn in them, for their dear causes would to the bleeding and the grim alarm excite the mortified man."  Mentieth speaks to Angus, Lennox, and Caithness about how Malcom, Macduff and their army are coming to get their revenge on Macbeth and his actions.  She tells in detail how much Malcom and Macduff want revenge and want to see blood in Macbeth's kingdom, which will excite them to see that they can defeat Macbeth.  This shows how manly they are, being excited to see people die for revenge on a bad person who killed innocent people.

5. Act 5 scene 3 lines 17-20 : "...What soldiers, patch?  Death of thy soul!...What soldiers, whey-face?"
In this quote, Macbeth talks to his servant how she and he think how the battle will turn out.  Macbeth  has a gut-feeling that he is already a dead man, he knows that he is not a coward and will not run, and he will fight till his last breath, like a man on the battle field, defending his throne from Macduff and Malcom.
