Soliloquy



Soliloquy - A person's most inner thoughts, they speak them on stage but they're the only ones who can hear it.

"Commends th' ingredience of our poisoned chalice to our own lips. He's here on double trust"

To me this means praise formally the ingredience of our poisoned cup to our own lips. Macbeth is there on double trust. In Macbeth it shows that Macbeth was planning something devious against Duncan and Malcolm like poisoning them. Malcolm and Duncan trust Macbeth but the double trust thing is Malcolm and Duncan trust Macbeth but Macbeth is going to turn around and try to kill them so he can get what he wants and become king.

Dramatic Irony



Macbeth has Dramatic Irony. Dramatic Irony is where the audience knows more about what's happening in the play then the characters. In Act I Malcolm becoming prince is dramatic irony because we know the Macbeth is planning on killing him but he doesn't know. Macbeth and the audience are the only people who know what's going to happen with Duncan and Malcolm.
