Maurice Breuning: in all probability: 'We fail! yet screw your braveness to the sticking place. And we will not fail'. you will discover the entire argument between Macbeth and his woman in Act I scene VII of Shakespeare's Scottish play.
Dick Maisenbacher: The first quotation (Fair is foul...) means that what seems good is bad, and what seems bad is good.An example would be when Macbeth seems like such a hero and good guy in the beginning, but soon becomes a murder. This line is important throughout the entire play.The second quotation (If I say sooth...) translates in the modern version to:"They were like cannons with a double load of shot. They fought twice as hard!"This quote describes Macbeth and Banquo and their amazing fighting on the battlefield.The final quotation (No more that Thane...) translates in the modern version to:"That the Thane of Cawdor won't deceive us twice. [To Attendants] Go - see he's executed immidiately. [To Ross] Cawdor's title shall pass! to Macbeth. Greet him with it."And the bottom quotation (What he hath lost...) simply translates to:"Cawdor's loss is noble Macbeth's gain!"Those last 2 quotes means the Thane of Cawdor turned out to be a traitor so they are going to execute him so he can't do it again. King Duncan decides to make Macbeth the next Thane of Cawdor.Hope this helps!...Show more
