welcome back everyone your class 12 begins and here I begin the coverage of the entire ISC 2025 literature in English new syllabus in today's session I'm going to give you the line by line explanation of magb act 3 scene 1 what is the setting of this scene Forest the palace and who is the character present it's Bano and we will begin with Bano solok Kei but before that I have a request for you do subscribe to our Channel and also like share and comment to support us coming back to this scene to today's point of discussion try to jot down some notes I'm going to discuss the dramatic significance of mbth act 3 scene 1 this is important for your long answer questions as well as your short answer questions critical comments introduction everything is going to be sorted what is the dramatic significance now this scene is significant in more than one respect Point number one from the point of view of action this scene shows further progress in magb BET's criminality very very important he has already mastered the art of Des simulation this word Des simulation is a new term what is the meaning of Des simulation de simulation means concealment hiding of one's character thoughts or feelings in simple words Des simulation means pretense magets pretend magets hypocrisy is revealed in this scene and he has also strangled his conscience altogether Point number two the gradual fading away of lady mbth from his life is foreshadow in this scene we find mbth planning the murder of banko all by himself there is no lady mbth involved in this plan against Bango and point number three the reason why mbth is plotting against banko the reason is he cannot forget the witch's prophecy about the succession of Banko's descendence to the throne now the witches had predicted that mbth will be the new King of Scotland but banko will be the root and father of Many Kings and this has made mbth suspicious of bango's motives and it is particularly this thought together with his feeling that his genius is rebuked under banko that guards him into this dark deed of plotting a against banko Banko's assassination so this is basically the dramatic significance of Mag Beth act 3 scene one BOS soloi thou Hast it now meaning of thou Bano is talking about mbth he is addressing his words to him as if he were present there thou Hast it now all your Ambitions have now been fulfilled you are the you King of Scotland you are the th of cod you are the th of Glamis all you have everything as the weird women the weird women the weird sisters promised predicted and I fear I suspect thou placed most fly for it yet it was said it should not stand in thy posterity learn this for your quotation thou placed most fly for it you you acted most wickedly for the crown which you have secured but yet it was said it was predicted that it should not stand in thy posterity the crown would not pass on to your children here banko is speaking to himself he suspects that mag Beth has gained kingship by playing the dirtiest trick however it was prophecied that the crown would pass out of mag's descendants and that banko himself would be the father of a line of Kings what was the prediction about banko but that myself should be the root and father of Many Kings an important quotation root and father of many kings use such quotations in your answers if there come truth from from them as upon the mag Beth their speeches shine their speeches shine their words show favor on you so if the weird sisters are capable of making true predictions in your case mag Beth their predictions have already proved to be true may I hope that their prophecies will come true in my case also Why by the varities on the made good fulfillment of the prophecies in your case may they not be my oracles as well what is the meaning of this why by the verities on the made good till oracles on the basis of the truths which have been proved in your case can can't it be said that they will directly tell me also what will happen in the future and give me hope verities truths the meaning of verities truths and oracles what is the meaning of oracles oracles were seeds of worship of special divinities where prophecies were uttered by Divine sanction now oracles also refers to the answer given to a question about what will happen in the future future or the person who answers such a question and set me up in Hope set me up encourage me but hush no more how can we critically analyze bango's soli Bano has become an accessory to the murder because out of ambition he has kept silent about the witches and thus refrained from exposing mbth He Is We can assume that he is undoubtedly magb BET's accomplice in the murder of Duncan in this respect but hush no more Bankok Cuts shot his solooki as mag Beth enters Senate sounded what is Senate a set of notes on a trumpet sounded as a signal for the approach and departure of processions and magb enters as King as a new King of Scotland lady mbth as Queen linox Ross Lords ladies and attendance magb here's our chief guest Chief guest as nearest to the Royal Line and as at present a person of special importance to mbth bankco is the chief guest lady mbth if he had been forgotten it had been as a gap in a great feast great feast the banquet and all thing Unbecoming all thing holy and Unbecoming means unseemingly if we had forgotten to include banko in our great feast then it would have been a very serious omission and everything would have looked improper so magb BET's hypocrisy lady magb BET's hypocrisy as as well mag Beth tonight we hold a solemn supper sir what is the meaning of solemn formal or ceremonious and I will request your presence here mbth invites banko let your highness command upon me to the which my duties are with the most indisoluble tie forever knit knit bound and what is the meaning of in dissoluble that which cannot be loosened your highness can command me and my duties are tied to that command with a band that can never be broken uh here Banko's reply is as formal as was magb BET's request magb BET's hypocrisy is being served with hypocracy on Banko's part over here write you this after no a my good Lord we should have else desired your good advice which still hath been both grave and prosperous grave means serious and prosperous means profitable in this day's Council but we will take tomorrow is it far you ride these questions are important ride you this afternoon is it for you ride what is the significance of this this is a very significant question right you this afternoon mag Beth wants to know if Bano will be out that afternoon now if Bano does not go out the murderers will not have the necessary opportunity of murdering him observe how naturally mag Beth drops these murderous questions these are simple questions he appears to ask these questions of hand but the implication of these questions the implication the meaning is serious he has progressed far in Des simulation since the last scene and also observe how depthly how efficiently he handles both Bano and the murderers he is very skillful we should have else desired your good advice if you were not to go riding we would have sought your advice which has always been both responsible and prosperous profitable in this day's Council but we'll take tomorrow we'll discuss the important matters the next day is it for you right banko as far my Lord as will fill of the time betwix this and supper go not my horse the better I must become a borrower of the night for a dark hour or Twain if my horse does not go faster than I expect I shall be riding an hour or two even after Darkness Falls a dark hour or twin an hour or two after Darkness I shall ride only as far as will fill up the interval between now and the time of banquet but if my horse is slow I will be a little bit late mbth fail not our Feast very very important my Lord I will not I will not perhaps the most striking instance of irony in the play my Lord I will not mag Beth we here a bloody cousins are best bestowed our bestowed have taken refuge in England and in Ireland bloody cousins cousins Malcolm and Donal Ben why are they bloody they are guilty of committing regicide they are guilty of committing paraside of killing their F uh their father King Duncan not confessing their cruel paraside we know by now what is regicide and what is paraside paraside is murder of their father father filling their hearers with strange invention poisoning the ears of those that listen to them with strange concocted stories mbth suspects that Malcolm and Donal Ben have obviously been talking about their suspicions of Mag Beth the role played by mag Beth in the Regis side of King Duncan but of that tomorrow when there with all in addition to that we shall have cause of State we will discuss about Malcolm and Donal and in addition to that we will also discuss state affairs craving us jointly craving us jointly needing the attention of both of us together hi you two horse ad do goodbye till you return at night go fence with you another very important question the implication is Sinister he wants to find out the information about fence and who is fence fence is Banko's son he wants to know if fence is going to accompany banko a my good Lord our time does call upon us so here it's time we started our journey I wish your horses Swift and sure of foot and so I do commend you to their backs farewell just observe mag's hypocrisy he is so humble he is so polite but inwardly he is plotting against banko as well as fluence may your horses be Swift and surefooted she foot firm in their movement on the ground he wishes them a safe journey but will they be safe ironically they are not going to be safe and mag Beth is making all the arrangements to make their Journey unsafe exit banko let every man be master of his time so uh Bano leaves the stage and here mag Beth says that let every man be master of his time he addresses other launs you may also leave and spend your time from now until 7 till 7 at night as you like to make Society the sweeter welcome what is the meaning of this I would also like to be left alone till then till 7:00 so that your company at the supper time is all the more sweet to me we will keep ourself till supper time alone while then God be with you Exum all but mag Beth and an attendant sir a word with you attend those men are pleasure very very important fellow let me have a word with you have those men come who are these men are they waiting to see me they are my Lord without the palace gate outside the palace gate mag Beth bring them before us exit attendant to me thus is nothing again magb soli over here very very important so there are important textual quotations over here also to be thus is nothing it is no use being a king unless I can be a king in safety but to be safely thus are years in banko stick deep stick deep are deep rooted it is no use being the king if I cannot be safe as a king my fears of Bango are so deep rooted that I just cannot can never give up my fears and in his royalty of nature Reigns that which would be feared this section is very very important try to understand each and every line banko according to mbth possesses such Royal dignity as would Inspire awe in anyone remember the dramatic significance I just gave you a little while ago there I had discussed the reason behind magb BET's suspicions about banko so these are the reasons multiple choice questions give reasons questions and answers prepare this section really well Point number one Bano possesses such Royal dignity as would Inspire or in anyone royalty of nature it is much he does and to that dauntless temper of his mind he had a wisdom that do guide his Valor to act in safety very very important this entire section Point number one royalty of nature he is a man of great daring this is point number two in addition to which he has a wisdom this is point number three which guides him safely in all that he undertakes to do and he also Point number four has a dauntless temper of his mind the kingly nobleness of banko has a prevailing quality which would naturally be feared it is much he dares he dares to do a great deal banko is not only good but also Brave and to that plus in addition to that dauntless temper of his mind Brave disposition of his character and he had a wisdom he has wisdom that directs his bravery to act safely and cautiously so these are the reasons why mag Beth fears that his or his Grandeur is perhaps undermined by banko there is none but but he whose being I do fear give reason mbth fears banko because anyone reason there is none but he whose being whose existence I do fear and under him my genius is rebuked important important quotations as it is said Mark anon's was by Caesar my God Ian Spirit is overcome by him genius Shakespeare almost always uses this word in illusion to the classical belief that every man is watched over by a guardian Spirit who directs his actions as it is said Mark anony was by Caesar now as it is said that Mark Anthony's genius was overcome by that of OCT avvia Caesar my genius is overcome by banko after the assassination of Julius Caesar Mark antthony became the most powerful man in Rome but he could not get on very well with Octavius Caesar another member of the tri veret he was defeated by Octavius Caesar at the naval battle of acum so if you have read juliia Caesar by William Shakespeare you will know this reference otherwise I have just mentioned the reference go through it he chin the sisters here banko rebuked the Weir sisters when first they put the name of King upon me he rebuked the three sisters it is incorrect to say however that Bano Che them but mbth would like to think that he rebuked the three sisters and beged them speak to him him then Prophet like they hailed him farther to a line of Kings very very important quotation fear of Mag Beth so this is point number five Bano was hailed by the Weir sisters as the father to a line of Kings what is the meaning of prophet like with the gift of Prophecy they told him him that he would be father he would be the father of a generation of Kings upon my head they placed a fruitless Crown everything is important over here upon my head they placed a fruitless Crown again give reason mag Beth describes his crown as fruitless because the crown of a king whose children would not be Kings after him because of his Fe fears that his sons will not be the kings of Scotland and put a baron skor in my gripe why is the skor baron what is the skor skor is a golden rod of authority that would not be handed over to mag's children and gripe grasp these things are these possibilities are making mag Beth susp picious of banko jealous of banko tense to be wrenched with an unlikely hand wrenched forcibly taken away my kingship will be forcibly taken away unlikely hand what is the meaning of this the hand of one who is not descendant of mine my sons will not succeed me no son of mine succeed seeding the crown will not be descending to my son if it be so for Banko's issues have I filed my mind very important for them the gracious Duncan see gracious Dunc guilty conscience he has already strangled his conscience but somewhere inwardly he knows that Duncan was a fair King a gracious King and by commit in regicide he has filed his mind he has Disturbed his mental uh peace and he has also corrupted his soul for them the gracious Duncan have I murdered very important I have defiled my mind for the sake of Banko's children and this is not at all acceptable put rankers in the v in the vessel of my peace it is for Banko's children that I have poisoned put rankers I have poisoned my peace of mind what is rankers it is malignant hit mag's peace of mind is thought to be a vessel and rankers refers to some food or drink which has been put in that vessel but which is bitter because it is not fresh only for them only for Banko's children and mine eternal Jewel My Immortal Soul given to the common enemy of man who is the common enemy of man Satan to make them Kings the seed of bango's Kings very very important I have all I have done all these things for bango's Sons rather than so come fate into the list and Champion me to the utterance who's there rather than let the children of Bano become king let fate come into the battlefield let me challenge even my fate the role of fate in mbth is a very important concept reenter attendant with two murderers now go to the door and stay there till we call exit attendant was it not yesterday we spoke together this is the second meeting the previous day they had their first meeting it was so please your highness first murderer now mag Beth well then now have you considered of my speeches have you thought about what I spoke to you the other day have you considered of my speeches know that it was he in the times past which held you so under Fortune here mbth speaks to the two murderers and he refers to banko banko was responsible of holding the murderers in such a miserable State here magb is manipulating the situation he is manipulating the two murderers by accusing banko of being responsible of holding ing the two murderers in a miserable condition which you thought had been our innocent self this I made good this I explained to you in our last Conference during the first meeting and didn't you think that this person who kept you in this miserable state was I you held me responsible for your misfortunes but I am utterly innocent and I have proved to you my innocence in our last conference passed in probation with you went over the proof with you convinced you by proof how you were born in hand born in hand deceived how crossed the instruments who rot with them so whatever you wanted to do was frustrated and what is the meaning of the instruments the plans by which your hopes were frustr ated and all things else that might to half a soul and to a nation C say thus did banko and I told you everything else that would prove to even the most dulls spirited or half bitted person that it was banko who did this notion cised a halfs spirited person half a soul is uh who it was who worked by those means the meaning of of half a soul I pointed out to you how you were kept in false hopes which never bore fruit what were the means adopted to frustrate your hopes and who it was who worked by these means I explained all these things to you which would have convinced even a half-witted man and a crazy fellow that it was none but banko who did all this notice how mag Beth is already a hard-hearted criminal he is poisoning the murderers against banko you made it known to us you have told us everything I did so and went further which is now our point of second meeting so this is a second meeting do you find your patience so predominant in your nature that you can let this go and after listening to all this what do you think do you think that you have the patience the ability to suffer evil predominant powerful prevailing are you filled with the teachings of the gospels to such an extent that you are prepared to pray for this man pray for banko and his children whose evil plans have brought you closer to death and reduced your children to Poverty that you can let this go are you so gospelled gospelled filled with the Christian teachings of gospels which require a man to pray even for his enemies to pray for this good man who is this good man bco and for his issue for his children whose heavy hand ha whose heavy hand whose cruelty bowed you to the grave and beggared yours forever beggar reduced to poverty and yours your children or your people forever We Are Men My Le so my Lord we are human beings after all and can bear ill will only to a limited extent Beth a in the catalog Yeo for men yes in the list of things that exist in nature you are certainly included under the general term men as hounds and Greyhounds mongrels spaniels curs shs water rugs and Demi wolves are CT by all by the names of dogs yes in the list of things that exist in nature you are certainly included under the general term men but just as there can be various kinds of dogs there can be various kinds of men also and what is the meaning of go for go for means pass as hounds what is the meaning of hounds hunting dogs Greyhounds Greyhounds are Swift slender and graceful species of hunting dogs mongrels dogs of mixed breeds spaniels a breed of dogs usually with long pendant ears slous rough head dogs water rugs longe head dogs living by the water and Demi wolves dogs breed from wolves and dogs are clept all are all called All by the name of dogs the valued file the list which gives the comparative value of dogs distinguishes the Swift the slow the subtle the housekeeper the hunter everyone according to the gift which bounous nature hath in him closed what is the meaning of subtle subtle means cunning housekeeper is the Watch Dog according to the gift according to the uh qualities according to the special qualities which bounous generous nature hath in him closed what is the meaning of this but there does exist another catalog that makes a subtle distinction amongst dogs and distinguishes them as Swift slow clever or as a good housekeeper or a good Hunter according to the quality which Bountiful Nature has given him and by which he receives a particular title whereby he does receive particular addition from the bill that writes them all alike and so of men here he is comparing the condition of dogs to that of men such a catalog is different from the one that describes all of them as dogs so there is a general category of dogs and there is a category of dogs with special qualities the lists are different and what is true of dogs is equally true of men why is maget saying all these things now if you have a station in the file now if you have a distinctive place a station in the discriminating catalog and do not just belong to the ordinary grain of human being not in the worst rank of manhood say it and I will put that bus business in your bosoms the purpose of this second meeting I will entrust you with that business which if carried out will not only remove your enemy but also will bind you to me the king in great love and affection and I will put that business what is the business assassination of banko and fence in your bosom who execution takes your enemy off if you kill if you murder banko what will happen you will take your enemy off you will take revenge on your enemy grapples you to the heart and love of us and you will also prove to be my loyal subjects who were are Health but sickly in his life which in his death were perfect here magb tells as long as your enemy lives the life we lead is but poor and sickly his death would make us perfectly happy and healthy very very important this is the business this is the plan I am one My Le whom the V blows and buffets of the world the first murderer before the this I'll just explain the first murderer had said that they are men to which mbth sarcastically says that they can no doubt be called men just as all dogs can be called dogs but just as all dogs cannot be great as dogs similarly all men cannot be great as men he would like to know what kind of men they are if they are great men they will success sucessfully murder they will successfully execute his plan second murderer I am won my le my Lord whom the V blows and buffets of the world have so incensed that I am Reckless what I do to spite the world I am one my Lord whom the sufferings and Sorrows blows and buffets of the world have so deeply embittered that I do not at all care what I may do to have my revenge upon the world and I another so very so tired With Disaster sted with Fortune This is a metaphor a metaphor taken from wrestling suggested by grapple to mend it or be r on it I also do not know how to mend it or to get rid of it I am so fed up with disasters and so roughly handled by Misfortune that I am prepared to take any risk either to improve my chances in Life or to put an end to it both of you know banko was your enemy very very important both of you know that Bano was your enemy true my Lord so is he mine a confession very important so is is he mine and in such bloody distance that every minute of his being thrusts against my nearest of life for your quotations learn these words learn these Expressions mag Beth says that banko is your enemy banko is my enemy and in such bloody distance enmity that will end only with his death therefore this is bloody that every minute of his being thrusts against my nearest of life my vital Parts my heart he is as much my enemy as yours and he stands so close to me and bears me such bitter hatred that every moment of his life is like a dagger thrust into the most essential IAL parts of my body and though I could with barefaced par sweep him from my sight bare faced par by an open exercise of my kingly authority From My Sight and bid my will vouch it yet I must not I would have killed him openly and said it was my sovereign will but I cannot do so for we have some common friends whose good willll and friendship I value for certain friends that are both his and mine whose loves I may not drop but rail his fall who I myself struck down and hence it is that I to your assistance do make love I would have to mourn the death with those common friends it is because of these considerations that I seek your help in this matter you should also keep it a secret from the people for some important reasons making sorry masking this business from the common eye for sunry weighty reasons you must keep this a secret you must not divulge this secret we shall my Lord perform what you command us first murderer though are lives both of them agree to assassinate vano your spirits shine through you mbth is pleased because he has successfully manipulated the murderers I can clearly see your fiery spirits manif EST in your faces within this hour at most I will advise you where to plant yourselves he has strangled his conscience and there is no lady mag meth over here he is planning and plotting and chocking down all the necessary details I will advise you where to plant yourselves I will tell you where you should hide yourselves while waiting for banko acquaint you with the perfect spy of the time while waiting for banko and I'll also tell you the exact time when you should strike the moment on it for it must be done tonight sense of urgency he does not want to delay things this deed must be done tonight at some distance from the palace so in order to avoid any kind of Suspicion mag Beth must be assassinated tonight itself and something from the palace away from the palace always thought that I require a clearness you should also bear in mind that no suspicion falls on me and with him to leave no rubs nor watches in the work in in order that this deed is accomplished without any faults or omissions rubs nor botches in the work fence his son again important that keeps him company whose absence is no less material to me than is his fathers must embrace the fate of that dark AR fence also must be murdered his son fence whose death is as important to me as his father's he must also be killed in the darkness of night and what is the reason for this why does mag Beth want to kill fence remember fence is Banko's son and if he remains alive then there is a possibility that he will be the next king he will succeed Bano according to the prophet y of the witches resolve yourselves apart I will come to you andon I'll see you soon we are resolved yes we will commit the murder my Lord I will call upon you straight abide within so we will soon send for you stay within till we call you it is Exum murderers it is concluded what is the meaning of this it is settled I have made all the the preparations banko thy Soul's flight if it find Heaven Must find it tonight the cruelty in mag Beth's words the cruelty is so important over here if your soul is to go to heaven a coldblooded murderer it must go there tonight no delay there must not be any kind of delay mag is anxious to do away with banko as he knows that banko suspects him but he is more anxious to murder fence because he is out to defy fate and will not allow the issues of Bano the sons of Bano to be Kings after him
