Exposition
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" Act I, Scene I
"For brave Macbeth,—well he deserves that
name,—
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel,
Which smok'd with bloody execution,
Like valour's minion carv'd out his passage"
Exciting or inciting
"All hail, Macbeth! hall to thee,
Thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbetb! that shalt be
king hereafter." Act I, Scene III
Rising Action
"The king comes here to-night" Act I, Scene V
"I have done the deed. Didst thou not
hear a noise?" Act II, Scene II
Climax or turning point,
"Ourself will mingle with society
And play the humble host.
Dur hostess keeps her state, but in best time
We will require her welcome." Act III, Scene IV
Falling Action
"O proper stuff!
This is the very painting of your fear;
This is the air-drawn dagger which, you said,
Led you to Duncan. O! these flaws and starts—
Impostors to true fear—would well become
A woman's story at a winter's fire,
Authoriz'd by her grandam. Shame itself!
Why do you make such faces? When all's done
You look but on a stool." Act III, Scene IV
Moment of final suspense: Act V, Scene VII
"Thou wast born of woman:
But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn,
Brandish'd by man that's of a woman born."
Catastrophe Macbeth killed
"Despair thy charm;
And let the angel whom thou still hast serv'd
Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb
Untimely ripp'd." Act V, Scene VII
