Question 3

What quote does Macbeth say that represents good and evil

Answer 3

Stars hide your fires; let not light see my dark and deep desires

It clearly identifies the contrast between light and dark, which represents good and evil. Macbeth says this quote after Duncan announced his son Malcolm as his heir to the kingdom. This announcement makes Macbeth both angry and jealous, but he hopes nobody will see his deep desires as he knows he will get into severe trouble if found out.

Question 4

What quote does Macbeth say where he used blood as a metaphor for guilt

Answer 4

Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand

The key thing to remember in relation to this quote is that Shakespeare uses blood as a metaphor for guilt. Macbeth uses this quote to say that he is so guilty that he is covered in blood, which could also represent the blood of his victims. He feels that even if he washed his hands in the ocean they would not be clean, as because of the amount of blood on his hands he is more likely to make the ocean turn red.
