macbeth quote assignment

(Act 5, scene 3, line 43) Macbeth: Hang those that talk of fear. This sums up that anyone on Macbeth's side who is scared and shows it will be killed, specifically hung. So if a soldier fighting is caught trying to flee or is caught giving up that is fighting for Macbeth will be hung. This shows manliness because Macbeth doesnt want any babys or wussy on his team, he wants true soldiers that will fight to the end like he is willing to do.

(Act 5, scene 5, line 11) Macbeth: I have almost forgot the taste of fears. This quote is saying that macbeth has forgotten what it feels like to fear something because he has gone into war to try and kill Macduff. This shows he is manly because he doesnt fear anything meaning he will go up and fight anything in his way. He may die or lose the battle but that doesnt mean he wasnt scared or manly for trying.

(Act 5, scene 3, lines 38-39) Macbeth: I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked. He is saying that he will fight and endure the war until its no longer possible for him to fight anymore, until too many bones are broken or just his overall insides are damaged to an amount where he is dead. This explains he is manly because he wont wimp out and run from a fight but he'll go his hardest and if he dies then he will take the death like a champ.

(Act 5, scene 1, lines 38-41) Lady Macbeth: Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? She is saying that the lord is a soldier and is afraid? Also that there is no need to be afraid because no one can lay guilt upon them. Lady Macbeth is showing manliness because she isnt afraid of anything happening to them since there is no reason for them to fear.

(Act 5, scene 7, lines 1-2) Macbeth: They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly, but, bear-like, I must fight the course. He explains how he cannot escape from where he stands but only to fight to survive, fight like a bear. Knowing that he has to fight Macduff either way makes him decide its not worth running. This shows manliness because Macbeth doesnt think of a plan to flee and run from the enemy but he decides that he suck it up, take it like a man to the best of his abilities and hopefully win.
