Act III notes

We are having the quiz on ACT III on Thursday (6/4). Please study all of the information in your packets (literary elements and techniques as well as on the play). Also, go online, download the Sparknotes app--do anything to review that you can if you know you need help.
-----------------------------------------------------------
For today, I want us to look at 3 lines in the Act III reading: Copy down the lines and leave room to explain.

1. Act III, Scene 2, lines 13-26, pg. 368-369:
What does Macbeth mean when he says, "We have scotched the snake not killed it...nothing can touch him further."

1. Act III, Scene 2, line 37, pg. 370:
What does Macbeth mean when he says, "O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!"

2. Act III, Scene 4, line 123, pg. 376:
What does Macbeth mean when he says, "blood will have blood." What is happening at the time?

3. Act III, Scene 5, lines 32-33, pg. 378:
Looking at these lines, what is Hecate's (the witch) plan for Macbeth's downfall? How do you know?
