Macbeth: Act 1: Scene 1 - 3

Here are a few images I found in the reading. "What bloody man is that?" (Duncan, page 26) This is talking about the Sergeant who has been injured in a very recent battle. This is important to Duncan because first, the Sergeant will be able to give him an update on the battle and second, it gives Duncan a visualization of the war that is going on. "So well thy words become thee, as thy wounds; they smack of hour both. Go get him surgeons." (Duncan, page 28) The significance of this passage is that Duncan understands that he must be in pain and that he respects and thanks him for his services and bravery. "Sleep shall neither night nor day hang upon his pent-house lid..." (1st Witch, page 32) What the 1st witch is talking about is that she is cursing the captain of the Tiger to not be able to sleep because his wife insulted her. And, finally, "So withered, and so wild in their attire, that look not like the'inhabitants o'th'earth..." (Banquo, page 34) This is significant because it talks about how the witches look so ugly that they don't even look human. The way they dress causing them to be questioned on how they are.
