AMBITION
Macbeth
"Thou wouldst be great;
Art not without ambition, but without
The illness should attend it"
"I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on the other"
(Macbeth's excessive ambition is like a horse that tries to jump too high and falls on the other side of the fence).
"The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step
On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;
Let not light see my black and deep desires"
Lady Macbeth
She's so ambitious that she'd agree
to be dehumanized, as long as she
doesn't feel any guilt:
-
-
"Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose"
-
-
"Unsex me here" (She asks to be stripped away of her femininity/feminine weakness and to be replaced with masculinity and strength as she believes her femininity impedes her from being able to kill Duncan
Banquo
"You greet with present grace and great prediction" (when talking to the witches who made positive predictions of his future)
