Static characters--characters who stay the same throughout the work.
Dynamic characters--characters who undergo changes as the plot unfolds.

In-class Assignment-

Here are a few lines from her earlier scenes if you want them:

"Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be
What thou art promis'd. Yet do I fear thy nature,
It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness
To catch the nearest way". (Act I, sc. v)

"A little water clears us of this deed." (Act II, sc. i)

"Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,/ And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full/Of direst cruelty!"(Act I, sc v)

"Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead/Are but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood /That fears a painted devil," (Act II, sc. ii)

"What's done is done." (Act III, sc. ii)

"My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white," (Act IV, sc.ii)

Definition of a foil (for the quiz)

Foil-In literature, a foil is a character that shows qualities that are in contrast with the qualities of another character with the objective to highlight the traits of the other character. The term foil, though generally being applied for a contrasting character, may also be used for any comparison that is drawn to portray a difference between two things.

What we observe in literature very often is that a foil is a secondary character who contrasts with the major character to enhance the importance of the major character. (FROM http://literarydevices.net/foil)

Verbal irony--the effect achieved when a speaker says that opposite of what he or she means

ex: Line 28, Act 3: "Fail not our feast" (pg. 364) (make sure you make it to my party)

Verbal irony: He does not want Banquo to come to the party; he wants him to be dead.

Dramatic irony: We know Macbeth is planning on killing Banquo but he does not
