Macbeth Act 4 Scene 1 Answers
Macbeth Act 4 Scene 1 1) FW: Three times the flea-ridden cat has meowed.

SW: Three times the swine flu infected pig has whined.

TW: “It’s time, it’s time,” the owl cries.

FW: Around the cauldron we go, throwing animal intestines inside. We boil the fungus toad in our cauldron and let it’s venom seep through. Boil first in our charmed pot.

ALL: Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.

SW: Throw in the fillet of a parasite-ridden fish, let it boil and bake in the cauldron. In goes the eye of newt, toe of frog, bat’s wing, dog’s tongue, and the sick child’s snot. Throw in a venomous snake’s tongue and a poisonous lizard’s sting and leg. Boil the tiny owl’s wing, and let our thick and slimy hell-broth boil and bubble.

ALL: Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.

TW: Toss in the fire dragon’s scales, the vicious silver wolf’s teeth, the bones of a mummy, stomachs and gullets of ravenous sharks, the livers of blaspheming Jews, a baby goat’s horns, small branches of poisonous yew, the corpse of a dead baby. Let the gruel be thick, slab, and greasy.

ALL: Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.

SW: Let the gruel be cooled by monkey blood. Now the charm is strong and good.

2) The apparitions give Macbeth three prophecies. The first apparition is an armed head. It tells him to fear Macduff, the Thane of Fife. Macbeth says that he already knew this. The second apparition is a bloody child. It tells him that those born from women pose no threat to him. This causes Macbeth to assume that he does not need to worry about Macduff since the second apparition cancels out the words of the first apparition. The third apparition is a child with a crown on its head and a tree in its hand. Macbeth is schocked that apparition looks like a King. It tells him that he is safe until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth is pleased by this prophecy.

These three prophecies

    Structurally, Act3.4 is a key point in Macbeth; furthermore, it is the point in which Macbeth's character reaches a turning point.

    The witches are one of the main reasons that led Macbeth to his downfall, since they are the ones who told him his prophecies and made him very ambitious. The prophecies told him that he will become "Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and then king hereafter"(I.iii.51-53). At first Macbeth does not believe the three witches, but when Macbeth became Thane of Cawdor he started to think more about becoming king, then he eventually murdered king Duncan for the throne. After that, the witches created three apparitions to scare Macbeth. An armed head is the first apparition that Macbeth sees which tells him "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff!/ Beware the thane of Fife!"(IV.i.81-82). This first apparition is to warn Macbeth of Macduff and that he might be coming to get him. The second apparition is a bloody child which tells Macbeth to "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth"(IV.i.90-92). The bloody child told Macbeth that no man born from woman can harm him and Macbeth thinks that he is safe and that no one can overthrow him. The third and final apparition is a Child crowned, with a tree in his hand that said "Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until / Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill / Shall come against…
