M delivers a huge soliloquy at the start of this
act during which he states that First,
as I am his kinsman and his subject, Strong
both against the deed; then, as his host, Who
should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. – Doesn’t show this side in the film, there LM doesn’t have to persuade him as much. |
“Wouldst
thou have that Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem?” – LM
Here, the
word ‘coward’ is used to represent somebody who does not follow their dream
fully.
|
M speaks at length when LM is not in
the room. When she enters, she dominates him in terms of amount of speech.
|
“Prithee,
peace: I
dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. “ – M
disagress with LM here stating that if he goes ahead with the crime then he
is not a man. LM then has to persuade him further. This disagreement does not
take place in the film. She has more of a job of persuading him in the
original text.
|
“why have you left the
chamber? “
LM – Shows her dominance over M that she is able to question him like this.
She is ‘in charge’.
|
“What
beast was't, then, That made you break this enterprise to me? “ –
Rather than questioning his manhood, LM questions his humanity.
|
“Was the
hope drunk Wherein
you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale” She questions M’s commitment to the task here. IN a way it comes across as taunting but not as blatant of insulting as the ‘What kind of man is it…?’ In the movie. Less insulting. |
“And, to
be more than what you were, you would Be so much more the man. “ – Like
is the film, she eventually talks about his masculinity but offers a positive
view of it, telling him
|
“From
this time Such
I account thy love.” – LM bases her view of their love on his commitment to
this task. Not the same as in the film.
|
I have
given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks
me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this. |
“Art thou
afeard To
be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire?”
Again, LM shows that, for her, the importance of killing
|
|
Uses lots of questions in style.
Macbeth questions her back and answers are given. Much more calm than in
film. In the film, questions are made to taunt until M loses patience.
|
Will I
with wine and wassail so convince
That memory, the warder of the brain, Shall be a fume |
