Say from whence you owe this strange intelligence?or why upon this heath you stop our way with such prophetic greeting ?Speak I charge you. As you can see this quote shoes us clearly that Macbeth is losing his mind, due to the high number of questions he asks and at the pace he asks them you can clearly see that he is confused and is uncertain on how to react in response to what the witches told him. He is questioning the witches as to where they got there information from and why at this location have they stopped Macbeth and Banquo and greeted him with information from the future.
My thought whose murder yet is but fantastical. This quote is another example on how Macbeth is losing his mind, the fact that he imagines himself becoming king and him having to execute the task of killing King Duncan shows us clearly that he is dying on the inside, Due to the fact that Duncan is Macbeth’s cousin and how they both respect each other, it wouldn’t be normal for him to consider killing Duncan, which enforces the fact that Macbeth is losing a war with his own mind.
If chance will have me king,why,chance may crown me,without my stir. This is another quote that reinforces the fact that Macbeth is suffering an internal crisis, he is thinking of becoming king and that if he has the chance to become king he should, this quote shows us that Macbeth really doesn’t know what is the right or wrong option he is only basing his options on what others say (ie. the witches)
Think about what hath chanced. Once again this quote suggests that Macbeth only has one thing on his mind and that is to take the chance to become king, but we later find out that he is reconsidering this chance to become king and doesn’t feel like he can kill Duncan, this shows us clearly that Macbeth is suffering a crisis internally.
If the assassination could trammel up the consequence, and catch with his surcease success. This quote supports the fact that Macbeth is reconsidering assassinating King Duncan, this once again shows us that Macbeth is suffering an internal crisis, what he says in the quote refers to the consequences of assassinating King Duncan these may be from God due to the divine right of Kings or something else.
