Scene 1:
A desolate place - Setting description
Thunder and Lightning - Stage Direction
When the battle's lost, and won
Upon the heath. There to meet with Macbeth
I come, Graymalkin. Paddock calls
Fair is foul, and foul is fair
fog and filthy air
 
Scene 2:
Doubtful it stood  
merciless Macdonald
all's too weak: For Brave Macbeth - well he deserves that name
brandished steel... smoked with bloody execution
Like Valour's minion
unseamed him from the nave to the chaps
Fixed his head upon our battlements
valiant cousin
worthy gentleman
Bellona's bridegroom
What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won
 
Scene 3:
tempest-tossed
so foul and fair a day  
So withered and so wild in their attire  
you should be women
Speak if you can  
My noble partner
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear'
Lesser... and greater. Not so happy, and yet much happier
Stay, you imperfect speakers
Speak, I charge you
can the devil speak true
Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?
to win us to our harms, the instruments of darkness tell us truths
supernatural soliciting Cannot be ill, cannot be good
strange garments
 
Scene 4:
He was a gentleman on whom I built An absolute trust
O worthiest cousin
the loyalty... pays itself
I must fall down, or else overleap
Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires
 
Scene 5:
I burned in desire
too full of the milk of human kindness
That I may pour my spirits
The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Come you spirits... unsex me here
direst cruelty!  
Stop up the access and passage to remorse
take my milk for gall
murdering ministers
pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell
keen knife
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark
look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it
We will speak further-
Leave all the rest to me
 
Scene 6+7:
We love him highly
 
We still have judgement here
Bloody instructions
To plague the inventor
poisoned chalice
double trust
kinsman
host, who should against his murderer shut the door
his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued
newborn babe
I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other
We will proceed no further
Was the hope drunk Wherein you dressed yourself?
so green and pale
Such I account thy love
Art thou afeared
coward... poor cat in the adage
When you durst do it, then you were a man
dashed the brains out
spongy officers
mock the time
False face must hide what the false heart doth know
