MacBeth: OxymoronAct 1 Scene 1 Page 274 Lines 12-13: "Beautiful is foul, and foul is fair: / Passes through the mist and foul air." This quote is interesting to me because it is an oxymoron. It is impossible how disgusting the righteous can be when the righteous is equal or mild and the disgusting is vulgar and rotten. Its meaning is that witches delight in the confusion of good and evil, beauty and ugliness. Act 1 Scene 2 Page 279 Line 40: "I have never seen such a beautiful and ugly day" This quote simply means that it is one of those days in which the fog is followed by the sun, then by a storm, by some hail and by more sun.

Act 2 Scene 1 Page 295 Lines 5-6: "There is agriculture in the sky; / Their candles are all put out" Banquo means that the sky has gone to bed and put out its "candles" (the stars) for the Night. Its meaning is that the night stars will never be brighter because nature will now be in a state of turmoil and confusion. Act 2 Scene 1 Page 296 Lines 41-42: "Is this a dagger I see before me, /The handle towards my hand? Now Macbeth thinks he sees a dagger floating in the air and points towards Duncan's room . Other words Macbeth hallucinates. Act 2 Scene 1 Page 297 Lines 69-70: "While I threaten, he lives: / to
