37. "Macbeth is like... my favourite thing ever" In response to In response to 7
i narrowed it down- the most important line, and the turning point, is "I dare do all that may become a man Who dares do more is none." (when his wife is taunting him about being too cowardly to kill the king) He doesn't mean "no one's braver than me" he means that he sees the limit of valour and daring and that going beyond it is madness/immoral so he realizes killing Duncan makes him less of a man, or not a man at all but he does it anyway. so he's fully responsible for his own downfall
i loved how i could condense the whole play to one line
i was a bit thrown to find out recently, though, that there's actually a editorial discrepancy about that one. the folio says the above, the manuscript says "who dares NO more is none" or something like that. which completely changes it...
