      I see your point! However, I think this quote would really show that he is skeptical of the prediction--he's pointing out that he can't be Thane of Cawdor, since he is still alive.

      I think you're right on the money. It does show he is skeptical at first.

    One word for Macbeth is confused. a quote would be "The Thanes of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" page 335 line 105-110

      I love that you continue the quote--this last section really shows his confusion at being addressed thusly.

    Macbeth is "stupid". "There's comfort yet; they are assailable. Then be thou jocund. Ere the bat hath flown
    His cloister'd flight, ere to black Hecate's summons
    The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums
    Hath rung night's yawning peal, there shall be done
    A deed of dreadful note." - Macbeth.

      I'm not sure I understand...why does this show he is stupid?

    1) Coward
    2) I would call Macbeth a coward. Lady Macbeth calls him a coward in line 43, page 344. Macbeth wanted to chicken out of killing the king, so Lady Macbeth called him a coward for doing so.

      Excellent analysis. From Lady Macbeth's point of view, he certainly looks cowardly. However, do you agree with her?

    I would describe Macbeth as exciting.

      Good quote choice. This argument between he and Lady Macbeth will be the backbone of all later conflict.

      I don't quite understand. Are you saying Macbeth is scary? If so, I'm not sure this is the best quote.

    1.Macbeth is "Cautious" because he murdered the Duncan you have to be pretty brave to do that.
    2."If we shall fail?"

      Don't forget the line number. Are you arguing he is brave or cautious?
