what does macbeth's monolgue says?

Question

If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips. He's here in double trust;
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast,

Answer 1

He was contemplating killing his uncle. But his uncle was at prayer so if Macbeth did the deed then, his uncle (the murderer) would go to heaven (having just confessed his sins) while Macbeth's father was in purgatory (since he was unable to confess his sins before death). Macbeth thought this would be unjust so he stayed his hand and killed his uncle later.

Answer 2

Guess what, as an actor, I can't answer a question written by someone who can't actually spell monologue......

Answer 3

it seems to me theyre talking about an assasination....and wether it was successful ot not...i dont think it was.

i think he was hoping for someones assassination.

my vocab definitely isnt that good, and i sure as hell couldnt turn a phrase like that.

Answer 4

Gadzooks! This is not a "monologue" at all! Clearly it's a soliloquy!

Answer 5

Read it, think about it. Look up the hard words, and decide for yourself.
