hints at the bad things that will happen and LM asks him what, he tells her not
worry, almost as if he is protecting her.Key Phrases: ?Nought?s had, all?s spent/Where our desire is got without
content?, LM saying nothing?s gained and everything?s lost. ?Tis safer to be that which we destroy/Than by destruction
dwell in doubtful joy?, LM again, saying shouldn?t be complacent.? ?? ?Be innocent of the knowledge dearest chuck?, M not telling
LM his plans, he doesn?t want to include her, trying to protect her, not to
implicate her? ?Things bad begun, make string themselves by ill?, M saying

the witches the next day. LM says that he needs to sleep, they leave with M
saying that they still have far to go.Key Phrases: ?Thou canst not say I did it; never shake/Thy gory locks at
me!?-M when he see B?s ghost. ?It will have blood they say?What is the night?? M talking
to LM about how a murder will result in another murder, he goes on to say that
prophecies and birds have brought forth the murderer.Scene 5: A desolate Place, Hecate has a go at the
witches for meddling with Macbeth and his affairs and says that they must
confuse and confound the over confident M, H leaves.Key Phrases: ?Hath been but for a wayward son?-H saying that M is

another Lord and he keeps hinting at M being a traitor, being the murderer,
without ever actually saying it. Tells lord about Macduff refusing to go to M?s
banquet and how Macduff wants to overthrow M with the king of England?s help.Key Phrases: ?Men must not walk too late? L says that if men walk too
