Macbeth is an equivocator in Act 1 Scene 7. ‘I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself and falls on th’other’ He is saying he has no motivation to kill Duncan apart from his own ambition to be king. Shakespeare uses a metaphor he is saying his intent is a horse by saying ‘I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent.’ His spur is his motivation as if he cannot spur his horse on.
Metaphysics
metaphysics is when something is beyond our understanding in the universe and we can’t observe. It’s also just a theory and can’t be proven by science. In Macbeth when the witches predict that Macbeth is going to become king is metaphysical because it’s a prediction and there is no evidence to support it.
Paradox
Paradox is when two this are happening at the same time that can’t be happening. For example in Macbeth act 1 scene 3 ‘so foul and fair day not seen’ this is a paradox because the day can not be fair and foul it can’t be that’s why it’s a paradox.
Pathetic Fallacy
Pathetic fallacy is when the mood in a piece of a play is interpreted by the weather and natural environment.
Example:
An example of pathetic fallacy in Shakespeare’s Macbeth is when the king came to Macbeth’s castle because they have won the war and they come to celebrate and the weather was really nice and calm because of the emotion in the scene.
Translation:
the prince of Cumberland someone who must be taken down or I will overtake him as he is my way. I don’t want anyone to see the bad things I want to do, we act civil. However the king doesn’t want to see what he’s doing bad.
Science causality
the equipment that we have to use to carry out this experiment is: meter stick, clamp, paper helicopter.
