1. Foreshadowing - the conflict of this drama is foreshadowed by the witches prophecies. In the opening scene when we first encounter the witches they recite together: 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair'. Leave a comment on this posting where you explain how this line foreshadows both events and characters in this play.
2. Conflict - person versus self. Ensure that you have notes in your book around the conflict that Macbeth endures within himself. (Remember you will need quotes that you can use for the assessment task.) To assist you, view the video below of Act 1 Sc 3. Two sections in particular are important, Macbeth's soliloquies (3:22-4:40, and 7:03-8:18).
3. Word Choice - examine the word cloud below which comprises dialogue of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The size of the word indicates its frequency in the text. Respond to the following in your book.
a) Explain why the words 'thou' and 'thee' are most prominent.
b) Choose ten other words from the word cloud that you feel best represent the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Use them in a paragraph in which you describe their characters.
4. Conflict - person vs others. Go through your text and locate quotes that indicate conflict between characters, eg Macbeth and Duncan, Macbeth and Malcolm, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Record these quotes in your book under the page headed 'Conflict - person vs others'.

'Fair is foul, and foul is fair' is foreshadowing the foul play that Macbeth comes to, when he wants the prophecies to come true. Anything that is fair to everyone, is seen as foul to macbeth, and anything seen as foul to everyone, is fair to macbeth

p.s thanks for the cupcakes :D
'Fair is foul, and foul is fair'...this foreshadows the actions that Macbeth will make to secure the prophecy and his position as king. It shows how Macbeth commits terrible acts to gain himself the crown and how Macbeth believes that the result justifies the means. -Alex.
The quote 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair' foreshadows that the characters that seem to be more than what is shown or who they are. e.g. Macbeth was a friend of the king and a great man but it was shown he had a darker side when he killed the king.
the quote "fair is foul and foul is fair" means that to be fair by getting thane of Cawdor and becoming King, means going through the foul play that is required to achieve his goal.
The line 'fair is foul and foul is fair', forshadows the events in the play by creating an idea of foul play within the story plot as well as stating that it is a vital component of the storyline and how the events play out.That the death of the king was foul play on Macbeths part and works out fair in the scheme to ensure his ruling as king.

Whats fair for Macbeth is him becoming thane of Cawdor and King, because thats what he believes he deserves, but to achieve this, he must go through all the foul business of killing everyone above him, with a more likely chance of reaching this before him. Foul is fair because all the foul stuff is bad , but it is what he must do to reach what is fair. This foreshadows what is going to happen because it explains what Macbeth has to do.

The quote "fair is foul, and foul is fair" represents the fact that Macbeth must "play foul" to become King. To get what is fair for you, you must commit a crime
The quote 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair' foreshadows that foul play will be used in order for Macbeth to ensure that his position as king will not be sacrificed for someone else. The quote is specifically saying that it is fair if foul play is used because that is the only was that the prophisies will come true.

By Marika Zorlu. Fair Is Foul and Foul is fair. I believe that this line foreshadows both events and characters in the play because it is fair that Macbeth wants to be king since the witches foretold this future but he must commit foul things such as murder and betrayal for this to become reality, yet by the end of the movie Macbeth is finally killed before he can kill anyone else which is foul on the person who killed Macbeth, but is fair as Macbeth deserves this outcome.
"Fair is foul and foul is fair" creates foreshadowing for the story of MacBeth by saying how all his good things which is fair for him he will first go through the bad things. Once he has he will get what is fair for him, however at this point in the story we don't know what will happen.
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" foreshadows the actions Macbeth makes when he wants the witches prophecies to come true, meaning that he will become King.It shows the terrible crime Macbeth commits when he wants to secure the crown. Courtnie :)
The quote "fair is foul, and foul is fair" foreshadows the fact that Macbeth must "play foul" to get what he wants. The plot later reveals that he must murder various people to become King of Scotland. To get what is fair for you, you must commit a crime.
The quote recited by the witches in unison " fair is foul,and foul is fair" forshadows that for Macbeth to become high royalty he will have to commit crime what is fair to Macbeth is unfair to others, what is fair to others is unfair to macbeth

fair is foul and foul is fair, Macbeth has to keep adding blood to his hands as he commits "foul play" within the story. for Macbeth, he thinks that he has to kill the king and Banquo to be the King of Scotland, which he thinks is fairplay, yet in anothers eyes, this is foul. This is done, because Macbeth wants to try and fulfill the witches prophesies- i think this is right, Aiden
"Fair is foul and foul is fair" - Macbeth, William Shakespeare.
The witches foreshadow the 'foul' or 'evil' play that is needed to fulfill their prophecy (the killing of the king). This quote foreshadows that the things that sound really good to start (Thane and than King)are only achieved with something bad or as the quote says 'foul'
The line "fair is foul" and "foul is fair" foreshadows the events that Macbeth must murder many noblemen to get what he wants. Macbeth must play foul to become the King.
The quote "fair is foul, and foul is fair" applies a foreshadowing affect to Macbeth. Eventually the reader will discover that most of the things that originally appear to be positive and good, will turn out to be negative and bad. At the point in the story the quote is used, the reader is unaware of the real meaning it contains.

'fair is foul and foul is fair' is shakespeares way of saying that one persons perseption of what is right may not be right in general. it shows that macbeths ambition prevents him from seeing the error of his ways, which is why he doesn't see his demise coming.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" i think this is foreshadowing the actions that Macbeth is going to do to make the prophecies come true, what Macbeth thinks is fair others think its foul and vise versa.
Jarrid Fyfe
The quote "Fair is foul, and foul is fair foreshadows the foul acts that Macbeth commits in order to gain the power of the throne. For Macbeth to become king he has to commit murder but with each murder, a new consequence is introduced which results in more murder. What Macbeth finds fair is not fair for others, and what others find fair Macbeth does not. Macbeth's ambitions cloud his judgement of what is right and so he harms many people in his determination to become king.
-Hayley Douglas :)
'Fair is foul and foul is fair' is a way that Shakepeare shows that what may seem right to one person may not seem right to another. This phrase is strongly displayed throughout the movie as it is one of the main themes. One scene where this is prominent is where Macbeth kills Duncan the King so that he will become king. Macbeth then frames the guards so that he will not be convicted for the murder.

The line: "Fair is foul and foul is fair" foreshadows the fact that in order get what you want, you must do things that aren't easy. In the text it alludes to the fact that Macbeth must murder the king to become king.
-JACOB
The quote 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair' means that Macbeth will do something for his self, w=which he thinks if fair, where other people will think what he does is foul and selfish. Macbeth demonstrates this by killing the king for he's own selfishness.

Hello!!!!:D
your pathetic "Hello!!!!:D"
cameron tehehehhehe
Who said that ^^^
pgooley
pray for him ^^^
The quote "fair is foul and foul is fair" in the beginning of the play reffers to Macbeth. It is saying that Macbeth, who is seen as fair, is actually foul and what Macbeth sees as fair (killing the king and becomming king himself) is really foul. This is shown in the play by the repercussions caused by his actions. Alison
