    thither sail and like a rat without a
  • 00:03:03
    tail I will do I will do and I will do
  • 00:03:05
    you see every time they do this kind of
  • 00:03:07
    repetition in order to kind of create
  • 00:03:09
    some kind of an effect so she says the
  • 00:03:12
    witch says that I am going to sail there
  • 00:03:15
    in a kitchen stainer which is a SE a SE
  • 00:03:17
    is a kitchen stainer and in the form of
  • 00:03:20
    a rat without a tail okay uh and I will
  • 00:03:24
    kind of do this and she makes the
  • 00:03:25
    gesture of knowing okay that is she'll
  • 00:03:28
    kind of create holes there in order to
  • 00:03:30
    sink the ship so uh obviously some kind
  • 00:03:35
    of a destructive kind of a mindset is
  • 00:03:37
    being revealed out there so um the
  • 00:03:41
    second says I will give the a win
  • 00:03:43

  • 00:03:49
    first case you cannot actually Sail on a
  • 00:03:52
    seeve seeve has holes in it but the fact
  • 00:03:54
    that she says that she will s so some
  • 00:03:56
    kind of a supernatural power so we have
  • 00:03:59
    to kind of you know believe what she
  • 00:04:01
    says without going into the logic of
  • 00:04:03
    whether she can or she cannot the second
  • 00:04:05
    bit says that I will give you a win that
  • 00:04:07
    is I will help you kind of move towards
  • 00:04:09
    that particular ships now according to
  • 00:04:12
    uh Legend in some countries wiches could
  • 00:04:14
    actually cast a spell to control the
  • 00:04:17
    winds okay these are all basically
  • 00:04:19
    Superstition in
  • 00:04:21
    Witchcraft and belief in witchcraft so
  • 00:04:23
    first it says oh though you are very
  • 00:04:25
    kind you know that you know that you are
  • 00:04:27
    willing to help me now the as the reader
  • 00:04:30
    will realize because they're anything
  • 00:04:32
    but kind but they feel that they are
  • 00:04:34
    kind to each other but the fact is that
  • 00:04:37
    in the overall context of the play they
  • 00:04:39
    are anything but kind and also they find
  • 00:04:42
    kindness in doing something evil in
  • 00:04:45
    doing something negative in doing
  • 00:04:47
    something bad to someone else in that
  • 00:04:50
    the irony is that they find kindness in
  • 00:04:52
    that so that itself shows it kind of
  • 00:04:54
    reflects on the kind of personalities
  • 00:04:56
    that these three witches are okay so the
  • 00:04:59
    third which says I um and I will give
  • 00:05:02

    they blow all the quarters that they
  • 00:05:10
    know in the Shipman's card so she's
  • 00:05:13
    saying that I myself have control over
  • 00:05:16
    over all the other winds and the ports
  • 00:05:19

  • 00:07:16
    minute this is this moves a little slow
  • 00:07:18
    that's another problem with this PDF
  • 00:07:21
    okay I need to find something so uh this
  • 00:07:25
    passage one shows if you get this
  • 00:07:27
    passage the point that you need to
  • 00:07:29
    necessarily make is that this shows how
  • 00:07:32
    wful the witches are or at least that
  • 00:07:35
    one of the witch certainly is that she
  • 00:07:37
    wants to just because she refused to
  • 00:07:39
    give her a chestnut she wants to create
  • 00:07:42
    Havoc as far as the husband's ship is
  • 00:07:44
    concerned okay uh again cha creating
  • 00:07:48
    chaos creating destruction and all this
  • 00:07:51
    is what is the purpose because the
  • 00:07:54
    Sailor or the sailor's wife or the

    witches for that matter have really
  • 00:07:58
    nothing Direct to do with meit's life
  • 00:08:01
    but all these are being used as a
  • 00:08:03
    pointer by William Shakespeare to warn
  • 00:08:07
    the audience and the reader about the
  • 00:08:09
    kind of Havoc these witches are going to
  • 00:08:12
    create in the life of meth okay so that
  • 00:08:15
    is the important point which you
  • 00:08:17
    definitely need
  • 00:08:20
    to always
  • 00:08:22
    remember that you need to write these
  • 00:08:25
    points in your essay in your answers
  • 00:08:28
    that it is to warn the reader it is to
  • 00:08:31
    forell the reader that see this is what
  • 00:08:33
    these witches are capable of and every
  • 00:08:36

  • 00:10:17
    is also going to come so they need to
  • 00:10:19
    cast the spell over meth and banko who
  • 00:10:22
    are entering this particular scene so
  • 00:10:25
    you finally get to see meth so foul and
  • 00:10:29
    Fair a day I have not seen now this is
  • 00:10:33
    important because why is it important
  • 00:10:36
    can anyone tell you can tell me why is
  • 00:10:39
    it important because he's using the word
  • 00:10:42
    foul and fair and have where have you
  • 00:10:45
    seen these two words being used before
  • 00:10:49
    these two words were used by the witches
  • 00:10:51
    in Act One seen one so by making magets
  • 00:10:56
    use the same two words as the witches
  • 00:10:59
    again Shakespeare is creating a connect
  • 00:11:02
    so please in some notebook please make
  • 00:11:05
    continue to make notes of whatever
  • 00:11:07
    connections Shakespeare is making
  • 00:11:09
    because you can use all these in your
  • 00:11:11
    answers and that will show to The
  • 00:11:12
    Examiner that this student has
  • 00:11:14
    understood the play and has understood
  • 00:11:15
    the different connections that
  • 00:11:17
    Shakespeare has tried to make in his
  • 00:11:19
    play through different scenes okay so
  • 00:11:22
    foul and fair day I have not seen so
  • 00:11:26
    the uh me says that I have not seen both
  • 00:11:31
    foul and he uses the same very
  • 00:11:33
    contrasting kind of adjectives to
  • 00:11:35
    describe the same day now uh foul and
  • 00:11:39
    fair as I said were The Words which were
  • 00:11:40
    used by the witches and by making meth
  • 00:11:43
    use them he's directly establishing a
  • 00:11:45
    connection between meth and the witches
  • 00:11:46
    and maybe he's already in that spell of
  • 00:11:50
    the world of evil okay um and it shows
  • 00:11:53
    that there is some kind of an overlap
  • 00:11:55
    between how the look at the
  • 00:11:57
    world and how meth could Poss possibly
  • 00:11:59
    also look at the world so there is an
  • 00:12:01
    overlap of what there's an overlap of
  • 00:12:04
    the evil there's an overlap of the
  • 00:12:06
    negative forces now uh this is cited as
  • 00:12:11
    an example of what is
  • 00:12:16
    [Music]
  • 00:12:17
    called dramatic irony irony what why is
  • 00:12:21
    it called dramatic irony because this
  • 00:12:22
    was a literary technique uh which is
  • 00:12:25
    originally used in Greek tragedies uh
  • 00:12:27
    where Shakespeare in this case is trying
  • 00:12:29
    to make the mind of a character clear to
  • 00:12:32
    the readers by making him use the same
  • 00:12:34
    words which have been used by another
  • 00:12:36
    character before but meth is obviously
  • 00:12:39
    ignorant oblivious to the fact that the
  • 00:12:41
    witches have also used the same words
  • 00:12:43
    before so that's why it is dramatic
  • 00:12:46
    irony so it is known to the audience it
  • 00:12:48
    is known to you and me but it's not
  • 00:12:50
    known to the character himself that is
  • 00:12:52
    mbth so banko says how far is it called
  • 00:12:56
    to F for a s it's called f f a wz that's
  • 00:13:02
    how it is pronounced okay so he says how
  • 00:13:05
    far is it to F that is Duncan's Palace
  • 00:13:08
    and upon seeing the witches he says so
  • 00:13:10
    withered and so wild in their attire
  • 00:13:13
    okay so withered means in in very rack
  • 00:13:16
    tack kind of an atre and looking
  • 00:13:18
    extremely wild you know what are these
  • 00:13:20
    kind of creatures because they are
  • 00:13:21
    extremely wrinkled and they're dressed
  • 00:13:23
    in a very wild and a rack tack kind of
  • 00:13:26
    manner and they do not look like
  • 00:13:28
    inhabitants of of Earth but they still
  • 00:13:30
    are on earth they do not look like
  • 00:13:32
    inhabitants of the earth and yet are on
  • 00:13:35
    it live you or are you ought that man
  • 00:13:37
    May question so are you alive or are you
  • 00:13:40
    something that a man can question you
  • 00:13:43
    seem to understand me by each at once
  • 00:13:45
    her choppy finger laying upon her skinny
  • 00:13:47
    lips because they seem to kind of you
  • 00:13:50
    know keep their fingers to their lips so
  • 00:13:52
    he's saying that because each one of you
  • 00:13:53
    has put your chappy finger open skin you
  • 00:13:56
    know so obviously there some seems to be
  • 00:13:58
    some kind of deformity uh to your skinny
  • 00:14:00
    lips you look like women but you have a
  • 00:14:03
    beard so that means that it makes me
  • 00:14:05
    difficult to believe that you're
  • 00:14:06
    actually women okay so they do not
  • 00:14:09
    conform to the conventional looks of a
  • 00:14:13
    woman the way banko and magb are used to
  • 00:14:16
    okay so magb says speak if you can who
  • 00:14:20
    if uh who are
  • 00:14:23
    you first which says All Hail mbth Hail
  • 00:14:27
    to the Dan of glams so they the first
  • 00:14:30
    which hails that is uh kind of you know
  • 00:14:33
    hailing and kind of proclaiming uh the
  • 00:14:36
    entry of magb the second B says all hail
  • 00:14:39
    mbth ha to the thing of
  • 00:14:42
    CER okay of coder third which says all
  • 00:14:46
    hail meth that shall be king Hereafter
  • 00:14:50
    right so these are the three
  • 00:14:52
    pronouncements that they make the first
  • 00:14:54
    one to his present title that he knows
  • 00:14:57
    about th of glams the second one th of
  • 00:15:00
    coder that he does not know that he's
  • 00:15:02
    going to become the th of coder the
  • 00:15:04
    third which says that you are going to
  • 00:15:06
    be the king which he definitely has
  • 00:15:08
    absolutely no idea about Bano says good
  • 00:15:11
    sir why do you start and seem to fear so
  • 00:15:14
    Bano says good sir why are you startled
  • 00:15:17
    that is why are you looking very
  • 00:15:18
    surprised and seem afraid of such things
  • 00:15:21
    which seem to be predicting good things
  • 00:15:23
    for you and seem to fear
  • 00:15:30
    things that sound so fair in the name of
  • 00:15:32
    Truth and if Fantastical or that indeed
  • 00:15:35
    which outwardly you show my Noble
  • 00:15:38
    partner you greet with present Grace and
  • 00:15:39
    great prediction of noble having of and
  • 00:15:42
    of Royal hope so why are you getting
  • 00:15:43
    surprised at things which are actually
  • 00:15:45
    talking about good news right so uh to
  • 00:15:49
    the witches Bano says that be truthful
  • 00:15:51
    In The Name Of Truth okay in the name of
  • 00:15:54
    Truth uh are you some kind of an
  • 00:15:57
    illusion because you are making this
  • 00:15:59
    great proclamations giving different
  • 00:16:01
    titles th of glams th of cod and the
  • 00:16:04
    King himself King of Scotland himself so
  • 00:16:06
    he say are you some kind of an illusion
  • 00:16:09
    that is not reality but something which
  • 00:16:11
    we are just imagining that we are seeing
  • 00:16:13
    some three wiches or are you what you
  • 00:16:16
    appear that is the way you are appearing
  • 00:16:18
    outwardly you show means what you are
  • 00:16:21
    what we are seeing are you in real or
  • 00:16:23
    are you some kind of an illusion you
  • 00:16:25
    have greeted my Noble friend my Noble
  • 00:16:27
    partner you greet with present Grace and
  • 00:16:29
    great prediction present Grace is what
  • 00:16:31
    the th of glams the great prediction is
  • 00:16:35
    that of the th of coder of noble having
  • 00:16:37
    and of Royal hope the Royal hope is what
  • 00:16:40
    the King of Scotland so he's talking
  • 00:16:42
    about the three predictions so please
  • 00:16:44
    remember these kind of phrases which
  • 00:16:47
    have been used because in McQ this can
  • 00:16:49
    come that is present Grace refers to
  • 00:16:53
    what the th of glams the great
  • 00:16:55
    prediction the th of CER the Royal hope
  • 00:16:58
    of getting royalty so uh that's what he
  • 00:17:02
    has kind of they have predicted as far
  • 00:17:04
    as meth is concerned so as a result he
  • 00:17:07
    says meth my friend he's seeming wrapped
  • 00:17:10
    with all wrapped with all means he's
  • 00:17:11
    seeming rather astonished and surprised
  • 00:17:14
    okay uh but you have not spoken to me at
  • 00:17:17
    all to me you speak not you have not
  • 00:17:19
    spoken anything to me you have made
  • 00:17:21
    these three predictions as far as my
  • 00:17:23
    friend is concerned and if you can look
  • 00:17:25
    into the seeds of time and say which
  • 00:17:26
    grain will grow and which will not speak
  • 00:17:29
    then to me who neither beg nor fear your
  • 00:17:31
    favors nor your hate so he says that
  • 00:17:33
    well you have spoken to meth but what
  • 00:17:36
    about me so why don't you look into the
  • 00:17:38
    future the seeds of time that is predict
  • 00:17:40
    the future and tell me which grain will
  • 00:17:43
    grow and which will not meaning to say
  • 00:17:45
    that which prediction is unlikely to
  • 00:17:48
    come true I neither want your favors nor
  • 00:17:50
    fear your hatred so you can tell me the
  • 00:17:53
    way it is so all the witches hail
  • 00:17:56
    separately uh the first which says
  • 00:17:58
    lesser than meth and
  • 00:18:01
    greater okay not so happy yet much
  • 00:18:03
    happier what does it mean so she they
  • 00:18:06
    tell bankco that you are lesser than
  • 00:18:09
    mbth but you're also
  • 00:18:11
    greater okay so talking in what in very
  • 00:18:15
    riddle kind of form talking in riddles
  • 00:18:17
    the second what which says you will not
  • 00:18:19
    be as fortunate as mbth but definitely
  • 00:18:23
    more fortunate and as the events will
  • 00:18:25
    turn out we will know how that does that
  • 00:18:27
    really play out and whether it plays out
  • 00:18:29
    in that manner the third bit says and
  • 00:18:31
    this is the most important one she seems
  • 00:18:34
    to be the senior of the lot the third
  • 00:18:36
    bit says Thou shal get Kings though thou
  • 00:18:39
    though thou be none so all hail meth and
  • 00:18:42
    Bango that you your descendants will
  • 00:18:44
    become Kings but you will definitely
  • 00:18:47
    individually not become a king you will
  • 00:18:49
    personally not become a king but your
  • 00:18:51
    descendants will become Kings and then
  • 00:18:53
    they say all of you all hail meth and
  • 00:18:57
    banko okay so that that's what the first
  • 00:18:59
    witch also follows by
  • 00:19:02
    doing now the prediction has been made
  • 00:19:06
    the prophecy has been made by The Three
  • 00:19:08
    Bridges instead of using the word
  • 00:19:10
    prediction prophecy is better okay maget
  • 00:19:13
    says because prediction is generally
  • 00:19:14
    Associated more with astrologers which
  • 00:19:16
    is more of a refined art which is have
  • 00:19:18
    something very Sinister about them so
  • 00:19:20
    prophecy would be a better word more
  • 00:19:22
    appropriate word maget says stay you
  • 00:19:25
    imperfect speakers okay imperfect
  • 00:19:28
    because he feels that they have given
  • 00:19:30
    him incomplete information he expects
  • 00:19:33
    them to tell him how would he become the
  • 00:19:35
    thing of c cder and later on the thing
  • 00:19:38
    King of Scotland tell me more by sin's
  • 00:19:41
    death I know I am th of glams sinel was
  • 00:19:44
    the father of meth and he became the th
  • 00:19:47
    of glams after his father's death though
  • 00:19:49
    it was generally known not to be an in
  • 00:19:52
    inherited kind of thing but something
  • 00:19:53
    which was announced by the King of
  • 00:19:56
    Scotland but how of C
  • 00:19:59
    I can understand the th of glams but how
  • 00:20:02
    do I become the th of coder the th of
  • 00:20:04
    coder lives a prosperous gentleman now
  • 00:20:07
    this is a little surprising because we
  • 00:20:10
    would assume that he knows that he's AIT
  • 00:20:12
    he's a traitor but he says that he's a
  • 00:20:14
    prosperous gentleman and to be king
  • 00:20:16
    stands not within the prospect of belief
  • 00:20:18
    and I cannot believe that I can become
  • 00:20:19
    the king you know I mean the there's no
  • 00:20:22
    chance there's No Vacancy for the Post
  • 00:20:24
    right it's like that so T of cter is
  • 00:20:26
    still alive he's a worthy gentle
  • 00:20:29
    wealthy gentlemen prosperous means
  • 00:20:31
    wealthy gentlemen PES and it is beyond
  • 00:20:34
    my realm of my belief to become king
  • 00:20:36
    just like it is to became the th of
  • 00:20:38
    coder I don't think there is vacancy to
  • 00:20:41
    in either of these positions right so
  • 00:20:43
    tell me where did you get this kind of a
  • 00:20:45
    strange information from say from V you
  • 00:20:48
    owe the strange intelligence
  • 00:20:49
    intelligence means intelligence Bureau
  • 00:20:51
    they gather intelligence means you
  • 00:20:53
    gather information from so where did you
  • 00:20:55
    get this strange information from or why
  • 00:20:58
    upon this blasted heat the Wasteland
  • 00:21:01
    where nothing grows blasted means
  • 00:21:03
    horrible miserable kind of a place good
  • 00:21:05
    for nothing God forsaken place you stop
  • 00:21:08
    our way you have stopped us with such
  • 00:21:11
    prophetic greetings speak I charge you
  • 00:21:13
    so he's asking that why have you stopped
  • 00:21:16
    us on this empty Heath and Barren land
  • 00:21:18
    to give such a prophecy I order you to
  • 00:21:21
    speak speak I charge you means I order
  • 00:21:24
    you to speak but the witches vanish they
  • 00:21:28
    do not
  • 00:21:29
    give an answer to this long passage
  • 00:21:32
    dialogue by monologue by meth and they
  • 00:21:36
    disappear Vanos says the Earth had
  • 00:21:39
    bubbles has Bubbles as the water has and
  • 00:21:42
    these are of them with are they vanished
  • 00:21:44
    so he's saying the Earth has bubbles
  • 00:21:46
    just as water has bubbles okay so these
  • 00:21:49
    things these witches must have come from
  • 00:21:51
    such bubbles where did they vanish so
  • 00:21:53
    he's also equally perplexed and
  • 00:21:55
    astonished at the sudden disappearance
  • 00:21:57
    of the three without answering
  • 00:21:59
    the question that had been posed by megb
  • 00:22:02
    okay megb says into the air and what
  • 00:22:05
    seemed Corporal melted as breath into
  • 00:22:08
    the wind would they had stayed so he
  • 00:22:11
    says they have vanished into the air
  • 00:22:13
    okay and they seemed solid Corporal
  • 00:22:16
    means solid that the way they looked you
  • 00:22:18
    know in terms of their skin and their
  • 00:22:20
    entire attire Etc they looked very solid
  • 00:22:23
    but they melted like breath into the
  • 00:22:25
    wind so when you're talking about if you
  • 00:22:27
    get a question about the witches you
  • 00:22:29
    should be able to also use these kind of
  • 00:22:31
    keywords which give an idea about the
  • 00:22:33
    physical appearance of the witches so
  • 00:22:36
    please use keywords like Corporal okay
  • 00:22:39
    they seemed what seemed Corporal but
  • 00:22:42
    they melted as breath into the wind okay
  • 00:22:44
    this is an interesting and important
  • 00:22:46
    phrase and I wish they had stayed on so
  • 00:22:49
    he's why does he wish if you get a
  • 00:22:52
    question a reasoning question okay meth
  • 00:22:55
    wishes that the witches had stayed on
  • 00:22:58
    because because he obviously wanted them
  • 00:23:01
    to answer the question as to how these
  • 00:23:03
    predictions about him becoming the thing
  • 00:23:05
    of cter and the king would come true he
  • 00:23:07
    wanted answers to his question were such
  • 00:23:10
    things here as we do speak about so
  • 00:23:14
    banko says that were these creatures
  • 00:23:17
    that is the things about who we were
  • 00:23:19
    discussing even here I mean they were
  • 00:23:21
    they here did we engage in a
  • 00:23:23
    conversation or is it something which we
  • 00:23:25
    are kind of just imagining okay so he's
  • 00:23:27
    not also not able to come to terms with
  • 00:23:30
    what kind of an experience they had had
  • 00:23:33
    out there on the heath so or have we
  • 00:23:35
    both eaten some strange route which is
  • 00:23:38
    making us talk insanely or have we eaten
  • 00:23:41
    on the insane route some kind of an
  • 00:23:43
    insane kind of a root that is making us
  • 00:23:46
    reason prisoner reason prisoner means
  • 00:23:48
    that is has taken our ability to reason
  • 00:23:52
    and uh talk logically prisoner as in we
  • 00:23:56
    are not in control of our our own senses
  • 00:23:59
    something we have eaten as a result of
  • 00:24:01
    which we are talking incoherently and
  • 00:24:03
    imagining things okay so they are kind
  • 00:24:05
    of constantly questioning and if they
  • 00:24:08
    were doing that they would not have been
  • 00:24:10
    able to talk so coherently the fact that
  • 00:24:12
    they able to reason it out means that
  • 00:24:14
    they have not eaten anything uh any kind
  • 00:24:17
    of insane root your children shall be
  • 00:24:20
    Kings so mbth is now kind of repeating
  • 00:24:22
    him repeating what the witches said that
  • 00:24:24
    your children shall be Kings Bano says
  • 00:24:28
    you shall be
  • 00:24:29
    king okay magb says and Tain of C to
  • 00:24:33
    went it not so so and isn't that what
  • 00:24:36
    they said to the selfsame tune and words
  • 00:24:39
    who is here so he says those were the
  • 00:24:41
    exact words uttered by those three
  • 00:24:43
    witches who is here now you have the
  • 00:24:45
    entry of Ross and Angus Okay Ross is a
  • 00:24:50
    nobleman from Scotland and Angus is a th
  • 00:24:54
    okay uh ath was a title which was given
  • 00:24:57
    to uh people out there as in who were
  • 00:24:59
    holding some kind of a position Ross
  • 00:25:02
    says the king hath happily received meth
  • 00:25:05
    the news of thy success that the King
  • 00:25:07
    has received news of your success he's
  • 00:25:09
    addressing mbth and when he reads thy
  • 00:25:11
    personal Venture in the rebels fight his
  • 00:25:14
    wonders and his Praises do contend which
  • 00:25:16
    should be thine or his so he's saying
  • 00:25:19
    that megb the King was happy to learn
  • 00:25:20
    about your success he happily received
  • 00:25:23
    when he heard reads about your personal
  • 00:25:25
    heroism the way he kind of killed MD on
  • 00:25:28
    world okay and the battle against the
  • 00:25:30
    rebels he was in great astonishment and
  • 00:25:34
    admiration wonders means he was
  • 00:25:36
    astonished Praises means he was all
  • 00:25:39
    admiration for him okay and that led to
  • 00:25:42
    a
  • 00:25:43
    dilemma that led to confusion in
  • 00:25:46
    Duncan's mind okay
  • 00:25:50
    uh that led to some kind of a
  • 00:25:53
    dilemma because he did not know whether
  • 00:25:56
    he should praise you or whether he
  • 00:25:58
    should credit himself for the victory
  • 00:26:00
    which should be thine or so which should
  • 00:26:02
    be thine or so okay so while he's kind
  • 00:26:06
    of you know in admiration and
  • 00:26:09
    astonishment of what it does and they
  • 00:26:12
    are kind of in competition with each
  • 00:26:14
    other the admiration and the praise
  • 00:26:16
    whether it should all go to his his own
  • 00:26:18
    credit because after all it is the
  • 00:26:20
    King's Army that meth was fighting on
  • 00:26:21
    behalf of or whether all the credit
  • 00:26:23
    should go to magb so it is a goal way of
  • 00:26:27
    trying to kind of you know tell Meb that
  • 00:26:29
    you know the king is really happy about
  • 00:26:31
    uh what you have done silenced with that
  • 00:26:34
    in viewing over the rest of the self
  • 00:26:36
    same day he finds thee in the Stout
  • 00:26:38
    noran ranks nothing afraid of what
  • 00:26:41
    thyself did make strange images of death
  • 00:26:43
    so he's saying that he was also at a
  • 00:26:46
    loss of words because he's saying
  • 00:26:49
    silenced with that he was at a loss of
  • 00:26:51
    words when he found out that on the same
  • 00:26:53
    day right that you fought against the
  • 00:26:55
    rebels you also fought against the
  • 00:26:57
    powerful Norwegian Army Stout Norwegian
  • 00:27:00
    rank stout means someone who is powerful
  • 00:27:03
    also in a sense large uh Norwegian Army
  • 00:27:06
    you were not afraid of death nothing
  • 00:27:08
    afraid of what thyself did s make
  • 00:27:11
    strange images of death so you were not
  • 00:27:13
    afraid of death even though you killed
  • 00:27:15
    everyone those around you okay the
  • 00:27:18
    images of death as thick as Hil came
  • 00:27:21
    post with post and everyone did Bear thy
  • 00:27:24
    Praises in his kingdom great defense and
  • 00:27:26
    poured them down before him so he says
  • 00:27:29
    that
  • 00:27:32
    uh that many Messengers brought this
  • 00:27:35
    news to the king and they praised how
  • 00:27:37
    you defended your country poured them
  • 00:27:39
    down before him that ped them is they
  • 00:27:41
    told him told Duncan tales about how Meb
  • 00:27:44
    had fought for the uh Kingdom okay so U
  • 00:27:47
    the strange images of death the phrase
  • 00:27:50
    which is out here the strange images of
  • 00:27:52
    death it means that meth Was Not Afraid
  • 00:27:54
    of the norian soldiers who he killed and
  • 00:27:57
    made to images of death okay and he was
  • 00:28:00
    not also frightened by the horrifying
  • 00:28:03
    scene around him which he had created
  • 00:28:04
    which was what a field of corpses so
  • 00:28:08
    through this you're getting an idea just
  • 00:28:10
    like in scene two about the kind of a a
  • 00:28:14
    soldier a kind of a warrior uh that mag
  • 00:28:18
    Beth was but more important than that
  • 00:28:20
    the kind of bloody imagery that
  • 00:28:22
    Shakespeare is constantly associating
  • 00:28:24
    with meth because after all after few
  • 00:28:28
    scenes he's going to make meth into a
  • 00:28:30
    murderer so there's a huge difference
  • 00:28:32
    between meth the murderer that he
  • 00:28:34
    becomes and meth the warrior the common
  • 00:28:37
    imagery is the blood imagery but there
  • 00:28:39
    is a difference here there is it is
  • 00:28:40
    associated with courage it is associated
  • 00:28:43
    with bravery it is associated with Valor
  • 00:28:45
    but when he becomes a murderer that is
  • 00:28:47
    amounting to treachery that is amounting
  • 00:28:50
    to betrayal so that difference you need
  • 00:28:52
    to be always conscious of when you're
  • 00:28:54
    writing your long format answers the
  • 00:28:57
    five marks or the 10 marks answer you
  • 00:28:59
    need to have that Clarity in your mind
  • 00:29:00
    that meth has this kind of a dual kind
  • 00:29:03
    of a personality kind of a thing meth
  • 00:29:06
    has the brave Warrior but mbth as the
  • 00:29:08
    betrayer who commits a murder so have
  • 00:29:11
    those two images very clear in your mind
  • 00:29:13
    uh when you're writing those answers
  • 00:29:16
    okay now
  • 00:29:19
    uh meth essentially has fought now there
  • 00:29:23
    is a lot of confusion about you know who
  • 00:29:24
    all did he fight against he fought
  • 00:29:27
    against McDonald world he fought against
  • 00:29:29
    the Norwegian king and the T of coder
  • 00:29:31
    was also someone who the king Duncan
  • 00:29:34
    Duncan King King Duncan found to be a
  • 00:29:37
    betrayer and therefore he's executed
  • 00:29:39
    that's how he gets the title of the
  • 00:29:41
    theme of coder okay now um Angus after
  • 00:29:45
    that says to give thee from our Royal we
  • 00:29:48
    are sent to give thee from our royal
  • 00:29:50
    master thanks so we have been sent by
  • 00:29:52
    the king to thank you only to haral thee
  • 00:29:55
    into his sight not pay thee so and to
  • 00:29:57
    take you to him to uh Duncan uh that's
  • 00:30:02
    why we have beening so he says that the
  • 00:30:03
    king's praise okay the king's admiration
  • 00:30:07
    and praise and thanks are not payment
  • 00:30:10
    for the heroic Deeds Done by mbth okay
  • 00:30:13
    so that's what so we have just kind of
  • 00:30:15
    only been sent here to take you to the
  • 00:30:18
    king Ross says and for an Earnest of a
  • 00:30:21
    great honor so to give you a hint of the
  • 00:30:23
    greater honor that is actually coming
  • 00:30:25
    your way he B me from him to call the of
  • 00:30:28
    C he asked me to actually Proclaim you
  • 00:30:30
    or call you by your new title of the
  • 00:30:33
    thing of CER in which Edition hail most
  • 00:30:36
    worthy th for it is time so he says that
  • 00:30:39
    hail you most worthy th because that
  • 00:30:42
    title that is the title of the thing of
  • 00:30:43
    C is actually now
  • 00:30:47
    yours what can the devil speak TR so
  • 00:30:50
    Bano immediately reacts saying that can
  • 00:30:52
    the devil that is those three witches
  • 00:30:53
    who are representative of the devil can
  • 00:30:55
    actually speak true me says the of cter
  • 00:30:58
    Lives why do you dress me in borrowed
  • 00:31:00
    robes but the thing of cter is alive why
  • 00:31:02
    are you giving me the title which is
  • 00:31:04
    like borrowed robes means it belongs to
  • 00:31:07
    the thing of cter how are you giving me
  • 00:31:10
    his title okay so Angus says the former
  • 00:31:14
    th of coder is still alive but he is
  • 00:31:16
    being held under a death sentence okay
  • 00:31:19
    who was the th lives yet he's still
  • 00:31:21
    alive but under heavy judgment bears
  • 00:31:23
    that life but he's been a death sentence
  • 00:31:25
    has been pronounced against the thing of
  • 00:31:27
    order which he deserves to lose and he
  • 00:31:30
    will kind of be executed as a result he
  • 00:31:32
    will deserve to lose his life uh I do
  • 00:31:35
    not know if he combined with those of
  • 00:31:38
    Norway or did line the rebel okay so we
  • 00:31:40
    do not know whether
  • 00:31:49
    he one
  • 00:31:53
    minute so he's saying that we are not
  • 00:31:56
    aware whether he kind of you know
  • 00:31:59
    Associated himself with mcdonal the
  • 00:32:01
    Rebel or the Norwegian King uh we are
  • 00:32:04
    not aware of that uh whether he secretly
  • 00:32:08
    helped and strengthened to line with
  • 00:32:10
    hidden help advantage to provide them
  • 00:32:12
    with some kind of an advantage Vantage
  • 00:32:14
    means advantage or that with both he
  • 00:32:16
    labored in his country's recck I know
  • 00:32:19
    not so he says I am not really aware
  • 00:32:21
    whether he worked with our enemies to
  • 00:32:22
    wreck the country that is the kingdom of
  • 00:32:25
    Scotland but reasons Capital confessed
  • 00:32:27
    and Pro have overthrown him but treason
  • 00:32:30
    is punishable by death that is capital
  • 00:32:33
    capital punishment the word comes from
  • 00:32:35
    there right capital punishment he it is
  • 00:32:37
    confessed and proven so he has lost his
  • 00:32:39
    life that is he will be executed in no
  • 00:32:42
    time meth saying in an aside glams and
  • 00:32:45
    pain of cter the greatest is behind so
  • 00:32:48
    he's saying that glams and th of CER the
  • 00:32:51
    two titles now belong to megb but the
  • 00:32:54
    greatest is still to come behind means
  • 00:32:57
    this is important
  • 00:32:58
    behind referring to the prophecy he says
  • 00:33:00
    the greatest is behind that is the
  • 00:33:01
    greatest is still to come which is the
  • 00:33:04
    King of Scotland and to Ross and Angus
  • 00:33:06
    he says thanks for your pains uh and to
  • 00:33:10
    banko he says do you not hope your
  • 00:33:12
    children shall be Kings when those that
  • 00:33:13
    gave the th of C to me promise no less
  • 00:33:16
    to them that don't you wish that your
  • 00:33:18
    children should be Kings because the
  • 00:33:19
    three witches who promis that I will
  • 00:33:21
    become the th of C have actually also
  • 00:33:24
    said that your descendants will be Kings
  • 00:33:26
    so he's trying to think that
  • 00:33:28
    okay two out of three predictions of
  • 00:33:30
    mine have come true so it means that the
  • 00:33:33
    prediction for Banko's children will
  • 00:33:35
    also most likely come true so Bano says
  • 00:33:39
    that trusted home might yet enkindle you
  • 00:33:42
    unto uh the crown besides the thing of
  • 00:33:45
    coder so he's saying that if that is
  • 00:33:47
    trusted completely banko says now Bano
  • 00:33:49
    is a more kind of a balanced and a same
  • 00:33:52
    kind of a person
  • 00:33:54
    [Music]
  • 00:33:57
    okay so if that is trusted completely it
  • 00:34:00
    may take you to the crown enkindle means
  • 00:34:02
    it will take you to the crown not just
  • 00:34:05
    the thing of not besides it besides
  • 00:34:08
    means besides the th of cod it will take
  • 00:34:11
    you to the crown that is the King of
  • 00:34:13
    Scotland but it is strange and often
  • 00:34:15
    times to win us to our harm the
  • 00:34:17
    instruments of Darkness this is a very
  • 00:34:21
    important uh key phrase so I am going to
  • 00:34:24
    mark it so that it kind of reinforces
  • 00:34:27
    this this is a phrase which you should
  • 00:34:30
    use in your answers whenever you're
  • 00:34:32
    talking about the witches whenever
  • 00:34:34
    you're talking about meth and to an
  • 00:34:36
    extent Bano because it's Bano who has
  • 00:34:38
    said it tell us truths win us with
  • 00:34:40
    honest Trifles to betray Us in the
  • 00:34:43
    deepest consequence okay so what he's uh
  • 00:34:46
    he's saying is that this is an important
  • 00:34:49
    one so please remember uh listen
  • 00:34:51
    carefully he's saying that it is quite
  • 00:34:54
    strange how to lead us to harm how to
  • 00:34:57
    lead us us to harm these instruments of
  • 00:35:00
    Darkness that is these agents of
  • 00:35:02
    Darkness instruments means these agents
  • 00:35:04
    so the witches SC the key phrase which
  • 00:35:06
    has been used is the instruments of
  • 00:35:09
    Darkness okay later on they're also
  • 00:35:11
    called the Ministers of Darkness right
  • 00:35:14
    they first tell us some truth okay but
  • 00:35:16
    subsequently they only betray Us in more
  • 00:35:20
    important matters betray means to trick
  • 00:35:22
    or to fool so they initially tell us
  • 00:35:26
    some truths in order to kind of it's
  • 00:35:28
    like you know if someone wants to do a
  • 00:35:30
    financial fraud initially they will tell
  • 00:35:32
    you some scheme in which you'll make
  • 00:35:33
    some money so you'll think that okay if
  • 00:35:35
    I'm putting 100 rupees it is becoming
  • 00:35:37
    110 rupees so that means I can put in
  • 00:35:39
    more money you'll put 1,000 rupees it
  • 00:35:41
    will become 1100 rupees you'll think
  • 00:35:43
    that wow this is fantastic you'll put
  • 00:35:45
    10,000 rupees it may become 11,000
  • 00:35:47
    rupees you'll say fantastic I'm getting
  • 00:35:49
    10% returns in a matter of a month or
  • 00:35:51
    two months right which no Financial
  • 00:35:53
    instrument will give and then you think
  • 00:35:55
    you get more greedy you put one lakh and
  • 00:35:58
    then the money doesn't come back at all
  • 00:36:00
    it's a bit like that so they initially
  • 00:36:02
    tell us some truths but they actually at
  • 00:36:04
    the end they betray us so this this and
  • 00:36:08
    more importantly this is important
  • 00:36:10
    please make a note of it just underline
  • 00:36:12
    it in your book so by referring to the
  • 00:36:14
    three whiches as instruments of Darkness
  • 00:36:18
    Bano Bano is actually issuing a very
  • 00:36:21
    clear and direct warning to meth that
  • 00:36:25
    the witches could actually be tricking
  • 00:36:27
    meth into evil okay and some kind of
  • 00:36:31
    harm and it shows that Bano is much more
  • 00:36:34
    wise is much more skeptical is much more
  • 00:36:37
    circumspect about what this could
  • 00:36:39
    actually mean okay and he has a very
  • 00:36:42
    strong suspicion that this all may be
  • 00:36:45
    leading us to some kind of harm okay uh
  • 00:36:49
    something which megb is not doing Meb is
  • 00:36:51
    actually counting tick mark tick mark oh
  • 00:36:54
    this is pending kind of a thing whereas
  • 00:36:56
    Bano is actually questioning so Bano has
  • 00:36:58
    a more uh kind of a questioning and
  • 00:37:01
    rational kind of an approach and
  • 00:37:03
    mindset it also shows that Banko's moral
  • 00:37:06
    compass is also better than meth in many
  • 00:37:09
    ways okay uh he's also more perceptive
  • 00:37:12
    and he's trying to understand and
  • 00:37:14
    analyze what could be the motives of the
  • 00:37:16
    uh while mbth is only fixed on
  • 00:37:19
    what they have said and what part of
  • 00:37:21
    that has already come true and what is
  • 00:37:23
    pending so uh he asked to speak to Ross
  • 00:37:26
    and Angus separately and while he's
  • 00:37:29
    speaking while he's speaking mbth is
  • 00:37:32
    talking to himself two truths are told
  • 00:37:34
    see what I told you he's obsessed with
  • 00:37:36
    that as happy prologues to the swelling
  • 00:37:38
    act the swelling Act is the uh kind of
  • 00:37:42
    uh the final thing which will
  • 00:37:45
    happen Okay the final thing which will
  • 00:37:48
    happen to the throne to the Imperial
  • 00:37:50
    theme Imperial means Royal I thank you
  • 00:37:53
    gentlemen and then again he says this
  • 00:37:55
    Supernatural soliciting this he has said
  • 00:37:57
    to Ross and Angus then he says this
  • 00:38:00
    Supernatural soliciting this is another
  • 00:38:02
    important key phrase you can see
  • 00:38:05
    whatever the bch uh sorry whatever the
  • 00:38:08
    bch whatever the witches are uh saying
  • 00:38:12
    uh if you use different kind of phrases
  • 00:38:15
    for the witches you call them the
  • 00:38:16
    instruments of Darkness this
  • 00:38:17
    Supernatural soliciting that uh they are
  • 00:38:21
    doing cannot be ill cannot be good if
  • 00:38:24
    ill why hath it given me Earnest of su
  • 00:38:27
    so he's calling them Supernatural the
  • 00:38:30
    what they have told him as Supernatural
  • 00:38:32
    soliciting now soliciting is not
  • 00:38:34
    something which is a very great word
  • 00:38:36
    it's not a very positive word it's
  • 00:38:37
    almost like you know you are kind of
  • 00:38:39
    soliciting information it is generally
  • 00:38:41
    used in a slightly negative kind of a
  • 00:38:43
    manner which is not the best way of kind
  • 00:38:46
    of gaining information so he says this
  • 00:38:49
    Supernatural Temptation soliciting as in
  • 00:38:51
    Temptation does not seem like it's a bad
  • 00:38:54
    thing so you see the moral compass of me
  • 00:38:57
    Beth is a little distorted he's thinking
  • 00:39:01
    that the witches are not bad why because
  • 00:39:03
    they have told good things about him he
  • 00:39:05
    does not realize that the path to
  • 00:39:07
    realizing that will actually push him
  • 00:39:09
    into hell I mean hell in a metaphorical
  • 00:39:12
    sense right so he says but it cannot be
  • 00:39:14
    good
  • 00:39:15
    either cannot be ill cannot be good if
  • 00:39:18
    ill why has it given me Earnest of
  • 00:39:19
    success commencing in a truth so why has
  • 00:39:22
    it promised me a success which is also
  • 00:39:24
    turned to be true I am the thing of cter
  • 00:39:27
    if good why do I yield to that
  • 00:39:29
    suggestion whose horrid image do unfix
  • 00:39:31
    my hair and make my unseated heat heart
  • 00:39:35
    knock at my knock my ribs so he says if
  • 00:39:37
    this is a good thing why do I find
  • 00:39:40
    myself thinking about the suggestion
  • 00:39:42
    whose horrid thought makes my hair stand
  • 00:39:44
    on why because he's already thinking
  • 00:39:46
    about how he could possibly become the
  • 00:39:48
    king and for that he knows Duncan will
  • 00:39:51
    have to be replaced okay uh so he says
  • 00:39:54
    that it makes my hair stand and my heart
  • 00:39:56
    is pound pingg vigorously in my chest
  • 00:39:58
    knock at my ribs knock at my ribs means
  • 00:40:01
    my heart is pounding because it's
  • 00:40:03
    pounding against the ribs right and it
  • 00:40:05
    is unnatural and it is against the use
  • 00:40:07
    of nature means it's unnatural okay it
  • 00:40:11
    is against the use of nature present
  • 00:40:15
    fears are less than horrible imaginings
  • 00:40:18
    my thought whose murder yet is but
  • 00:40:20
    Fantastical so he saying that my present
  • 00:40:22
    fears are less than the horrible things
  • 00:40:24
    I'm imagining although my thoughts of
  • 00:40:26
    murder are just a fantasy so you see
  • 00:40:28
    already that thought has started working
  • 00:40:30
    on in meet's mind he says that they
  • 00:40:33
    shake my sense of self and my ability to
  • 00:40:36
    act shakes so my single state of man
  • 00:40:39
    that function is smothered in surise and
  • 00:40:42
    nothing is but what is not so he says my
  • 00:40:45
    ability to act is blocked by my thoughts
  • 00:40:47
    and all that matters to me are things
  • 00:40:49
    that do not exist right now but what is
  • 00:40:53
    not so that's how see in in place place
  • 00:40:56
    like meth uh every word may not have a
  • 00:40:59
    direct meaning so in some cases you need
  • 00:41:01
    to understand what the line uh or the
  • 00:41:04
    part of the passage is trying to convey
  • 00:41:06
    the mood that is trying to be conveyed
  • 00:41:08
    so you know you need to make that
  • 00:41:10
    distinction it cannot it's not a simple
  • 00:41:11
    play like a Merchant of Venice where
  • 00:41:13
    every word's meaning you could actually
  • 00:41:16
    decipher in meth in many places it is
  • 00:41:18
    the mood because many of these lines are
  • 00:41:21
    very introspective kind of lines you
  • 00:41:24
    understand are very introspective and
  • 00:41:25
    many of the words that make Shakespeare
  • 00:41:27
    has used are also
  • 00:41:29
    extremely 16th and 17th century kind of
  • 00:41:32
    language so you need to kind of you know
  • 00:41:35
    understand the gist of what meth or a
  • 00:41:37
    banko or a Duncan or the three wiches
  • 00:41:39
    are trying to convey analyze it in the
  • 00:41:42
    context of the play okay so uh but what
  • 00:41:48
    nothing what is not banko says look how
  • 00:41:50
    are partner is rap that is he's in a you
  • 00:41:54
    know in in very deep kind of uh thought
  • 00:41:57
    okay and megb says he's still talking
  • 00:42:02
    aside in an aside if chance will have
  • 00:42:04
    making why chance may Crown me without
  • 00:42:06
    my stir so uh meth is uh trying to say
  • 00:42:11
    that if fate wishes me to be king then
  • 00:42:14
    maybe fate will give me the crown
  • 00:42:15
    without my having to do anything about
  • 00:42:17
    it Vanos says new honors come upon him
  • 00:42:20
    like a strange garments cleave not to
  • 00:42:22
    their mold but with the aid of you so
  • 00:42:24
    meth banko says that new TI that is the
  • 00:42:27
    honors means new honors new titles come
  • 00:42:30
    to me come to him like brand new clothes
  • 00:42:33
    but they won't fit unless they have been
  • 00:42:35
    worn for a while because sometimes the
  • 00:42:37
    clothes are a little loose but when they
  • 00:42:38
    kind of get adjusted to the body they
  • 00:42:41
    kind of fit you much better so
  • 00:42:44
    uh the point that I want to make out
  • 00:42:47
    here about a couple of words which have
  • 00:42:49
    been used uh the suggestion that has
  • 00:42:52
    been spoken about the suggestion means
  • 00:42:54
    the Temptation okay with which Meb is
  • 00:42:57
    being tempted and meth is asking himself
  • 00:42:59
    that why is he kind of feeling as though
  • 00:43:02
    giving into temptation especially when
  • 00:43:04
    it is making his hair stand and his
  • 00:43:06
    heart beat much faster uh the smed in
  • 00:43:09
    surise now meet's ability to function
  • 00:43:12
    normally is crippled or smothered by the
  • 00:43:15
    surmise or the very Fantastical
  • 00:43:16
    imagination that is already thinking
  • 00:43:18
    that who he could actually become the
  • 00:43:20
    King of Scotland and also thinking about
  • 00:43:23
    the root to getting the crown is through
  • 00:43:25
    the murder of King dun so all those
  • 00:43:27
    thoughts are already running in his mind
  • 00:43:29
    which is what is making his hair stand
  • 00:43:31
    and his heart knocked at the ribs okay
  • 00:43:34
    so function is what is a nor seen as a
  • 00:43:37
    normal activity whereas surmise is the
  • 00:43:40
    thought of future activity is something
  • 00:43:42
    which is imagining that what could
  • 00:43:44
    happily possibly happen in the future so
  • 00:43:48
    meth is thinking so hard that he's kind
  • 00:43:50
    of you know he finds himself compelled
  • 00:43:52
    to think about it uh and uh which is why
  • 00:43:56
    they say that he's in some kind of a
  • 00:43:58
    trance he's so wrapped wrapped in you
  • 00:44:00
    say no when if you're listening to the
  • 00:44:02
    teacher you're listening in wrapped
  • 00:44:03
    attention means that you're listening
  • 00:44:04
    extremely attent attentively without
  • 00:44:08
    kind of losing
  • 00:44:10
    your concentration so that's what uh is
  • 00:44:15
    being said now uh there is an important
  • 00:44:18
    quote which comes out here which I need
  • 00:44:20
    to mention meget says come what come May
  • 00:44:25
    time and the hour runs through the rough
  • 00:44:27
    first day so this is an important phrase
  • 00:44:29
    which is there so he's already being
  • 00:44:31
    influenced by his greed to get rid of
  • 00:44:34
    King Duncan so he says no matter what
  • 00:44:36
    happens whatever is going to happen will
  • 00:44:38
    happen so he's already in that kind of a
  • 00:44:40
    hope that even if we don't do anything
  • 00:44:42
    maybe something will happen so he's kind
  • 00:44:44
    of vacillating he's kind of in all kinds
  • 00:44:46
    of thoughts muddled uh in his muddled
  • 00:44:49
    mind worthy mbth we stay upon your
  • 00:44:51
    leisure Meb give me your favor um my
  • 00:44:54
    dull brain was rot with things forgotten
  • 00:44:56
    kind of gentlemen your pains are
  • 00:44:57
    registered where every day I turn the
  • 00:44:59
    leave to read them so
  • 00:45:01
    meth meth uh while he says that time and
  • 00:45:05
    hour so he's saying that no matter
  • 00:45:07
    whatever happens whatever is going to
  • 00:45:09
    happen will happen uh so this means that
  • 00:45:11
    Meb dismisses the thought of Duncan's
  • 00:45:13
    murder and he decides to let events run
  • 00:45:15
    their own go so he's kind of vacillating
  • 00:45:17
    between one side and the other side
  • 00:45:19
    however in the next scene when he sees
  • 00:45:21
    that the future is not going according
  • 00:45:23
    to prophecy because what will happen in
  • 00:45:25
    the next scene is that Duncan announces
  • 00:45:27
    Malcolm as his Heir as the successor and
  • 00:45:31
    then again mbet does a 180° and decides
  • 00:45:34
    to go about and kill dunan so he's seen
  • 00:45:37
    as someone who can't make up his mind
  • 00:45:38
    later on in act 1 scene 7 we will see
  • 00:45:42
    that Meb again going back to the
  • 00:45:43
    position where he does not want to
  • 00:45:45
    commit the murder so magb is someone who
  • 00:45:47
    is constantly vacillating and this is an
  • 00:45:49
    important part of his personality that
  • 00:45:52
    should be reflecting in your answers in
  • 00:45:54
    act one act two that is something which
  • 00:45:56
    is very strongly there that mbth
  • 00:45:59
    inherently is not a bad man He's a brave
  • 00:46:01
    Warrior for him to actually move from
  • 00:46:04
    the position of a warrior to a murderer
  • 00:46:07
    takes a lot of effort and he constantly
  • 00:46:10
    keeps vacillating like a pendulum keeps
  • 00:46:12
    moving like a pendulum sometimes he
  • 00:46:14
    wants to sometimes he doesn't want to he
  • 00:46:16
    wants he's ambitious he wants to become
  • 00:46:18
    the king but whether he should things
  • 00:46:21
    take their own course or whether he
  • 00:46:22
    should not and that's where the role of
  • 00:46:24
    the witches comes because they have put
  • 00:46:26
    the the seed in him of ambition that he
  • 00:46:29
    thinks that this is something which is
  • 00:46:31
    possible and when he's already seen him
  • 00:46:33
    getting the th of cter title he thinks
  • 00:46:35
    that this particular prophecy will part
  • 00:46:37
    of the prophecy will also come true okay
  • 00:46:41
    uh so meget says pardon me my mind was
  • 00:46:44
    strained and occupied by forgotten
  • 00:46:46
    thoughts okay uh my dull brain was rot
  • 00:46:50
    with things forgotten kind gentlemen
  • 00:46:52
    your pains are registered where every
  • 00:46:53
    day I turn so he says that your I will
  • 00:46:57
    never forget your efforts today your
  • 00:46:58
    pains are registered that your pains I
  • 00:47:00
    have taken uh cognizance I have taken um
  • 00:47:04
    I've kind of paid attention to the kind
  • 00:47:06
    of efforts that you have taken and we
  • 00:47:08
    will remember them and I will remember
  • 00:47:10
    them every day let's go to the king
  • 00:47:13
    every day I turned the leave to read
  • 00:47:14
    them means every day I will remember
  • 00:47:16
    them let stward the king think upon what
  • 00:47:18
    has chanced and at more time the interim
  • 00:47:20
    having wa it let's speak our free Hearts
  • 00:47:22
    to the this part is speaking to Banos
  • 00:47:25
    separately without Ross and angers
  • 00:47:27
    hearing them so he's saying that think
  • 00:47:29
    about what just happened because only
  • 00:47:31
    banko knows about the prophecy of the
  • 00:47:33
    and later after having thought
  • 00:47:35
    about it that is where it means having
  • 00:47:36
    given it considerable thought let us
  • 00:47:38
    discuss it freely to consider its
  • 00:47:40
    implications what are the possible
  • 00:47:43
    implications of the prophecies which
  • 00:47:44
    have been made by the three
  • 00:47:46
    banko says very gladly let's do it until
  • 00:47:49
    then come friends you know till then we
  • 00:47:51
    will kind of keep quiet not speak about
  • 00:47:53
    it so why is Meb thinking so much the
  • 00:47:56
    final point that I want to leave you
  • 00:47:57
    with that should we think that it's easy
  • 00:47:59
    for him to kill people just because he
  • 00:48:01
    kills people on the battlefield because
  • 00:48:04
    as I said there's a difference between a
  • 00:48:05
    warrior and a murderer killing in a war
  • 00:48:08
    is an honorable act murder is a criminal
  • 00:48:12
    act and that is why Meb possibly reacts
  • 00:48:14
    in the way he does he keeps
  • 00:48:17
    vacillating with this we come to the end
  • 00:48:19
    of act one scene 3 a long scene an
  • 00:48:22
    extremely important scene because this
  • 00:48:23
    is the scene which kind of sets the tone
  • 00:48:25
    for what is going to happen in the rest
  • 00:48:27
    of the play thank you very much for
  • 00:48:29
    watching Tata bye-bye
