"Fair is foul and foul is fair" - considered action theme of play; literary device chiasmus
Written for King James I and Shakespeare catered to his style
Also catered to readings when he referenced the devil and evil beings because they were seen as very real in this time period.
Scene 1/2/3
-Macbeth indirectly characterized (kills a lot of ppl)
-MacBeth is going to be promoted situational irony reveals that audience knows but Macbeth doesn't
-Lady MacBeth is overall the evil character, not Mac Beth himself he is seen as the warrior, the power behind the throne lies in his wife
-"thane" is a noble term
-Banquo jealous of Macbeths prophecy and questions why he isn't given a prophecy similar to Macbeths
-Macbeth feels like if he's starting to become king he doesn't really need to do anything. But he's also thinking about what he can do to make it come faster.
-"Come what come may time and the hour runs through the roughest day"
