Act 1 Scene 5.

The passage I chose was said by Lady Macbeth while she was talking to her husband Macbeth.

O, never

Shall sun that morrow see!

Your face, my thane, is as a book, where men

May read strange matters. To beguile the time,

Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,

Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,

But be the serpent under it. He that's coming

Must be provided for: and you shall put

This night's great business into my dispatch;

Which shall to all our nights and days to come

Give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.

This passage stood out to me because it caught my attention very quickly. It doesn't really connect to me fully, but I really seem to understand what it means. Lady Macbeth is saying how Macbeth's face is like a book, and I also have discovered that my own face is like an open book that tells others around me what I am thinking, or how I'm feeling. Furthermore, I like the words used in the text, and how evil she wants Macbeth to become. Especially how she wants him to be the innocent flower, but to be the serpent underneath. She is persuading her husband to do terrible things even though he doesn't want to do these things! Anyways, that's what stood out, and that's all for today! =)
