Hover through the fog and filthy air.

C.        The Three Weird Sisters

D.        Banquo

E.        Lennox

SCENE II. A camp near Forres.

2.  As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.

If I say sooth, I must report they were

As cannons overcharged with double cracks, so they

Doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:

Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,

Or memorise another Golgotha,

I cannot tell.

But I am faint, my gashes cry for help.

A.        Duncan

B.        Captain

C.        Lady Macbeth

D.        Macbeth

E.        Ross

2)  Journal:  Macbeth discuss the idea of "ambition."  In what ways are ambition a good thing?  When does it become negative?  In a journal response, please examine a personal experience where you found yourself striving for something in an ambitious way.  Describe the positive and negative aspects of this journey.  Did you hurt anyone physically or emotionally on this quest?  Yourself? Have you questioned yourself like Macbeth?  Explore the possibilities.
