| How you shall bid God ‘ild us for your pains. | Duncan is portrayed as holy. |
| And to be king stands not within the prospect of belief. | Macbeth at first is humble and not overcome with ambition. |
| The devil damn thee black. | When Macbeth has power he abuses it. Is unkind to servants. |
| Black Macbeth will seem pure as snow. | Malcolm says this about Macbeth and why he shouldn’t be king to test Macduff’s loyalty. |
| Your wives, your daughters, your matrons and your maids, could not fill up the cistern of my lust. | Malcolm tests Macduff to see if he is loyal to Scotland. This shows how he is a good king. |
| Thy hope ends here. | Macduff fears for Scotland with no good king. |
