so let's get into it MC Beth violation of kingship so sorry this is kind of covered up but first thing is our quote the false face must hide what the false heart doth know act 1 scene 7 he's basically saying like just to hide what you're feeling because this is what he's trying to be trying to be deceitful so there's a key theme Here of appearance versus reality appearance versus reality is when he appears in one way but the reality is very different he is dupli with his intentions so dous means he is two-faced he is two-sided with his intentions the way he wants to appear to the world is Noble Valiant basically meaning like Brave he's a noble Soldier yet he is deceitful and malevolent malevolent means he's evil so they're good words they dupli deceitful malevolent so we can see that he is trying to appear in one way yet the reality is starkly different cuz then of course he's trying to violate kingship and the only way he can do that is is being deceitful and being dupli also in this quote there's the repetition on fce which is very interesting you know we got false at the beginning we got false heart this emphasizes his false and unnatural taking of the crown he is a false King and doesn't have nobility morality or a Pious nature Pious basically means he's religious like strongly religious in the way that he's acting so this is really interesting to link it to kingship because of course he's trying to deceive one through his appearance versus his reality but he doesn't have that nobility he is a false King so although he's trying to be false in the way he's appearing in actual fact is indicating to us from the beginning he is not a rightful King he is not meant to have the throne he is not meant to have the crown because of course he isn't the rightful King it's he's not been divinely ordained he has to violate the divine right of kings and the great chain of being in order to get that that's the idea of fce really nice link there and then another quote is why do you dress me in borrowed robes so he says this to the witches why do you dress me in borrowed robes he's not actually talking literally about clothes robes are like clothes but he's he's basically suggesting when they say to him about being the F of cordor so of course he's th of Glamor at the beginning The Witches come to him and they're like uh you're going to be the thing of cordor then you're going to be king and then of course he does become th of cordor not because of the witches but because he was good in battle and then they when he when say that to him he's like why did you Dr me borrowed robes why are you giving me this title that technically isn't mine now this is really significant so there is a motif of clothing now a motif is a recurring symbol or theme so a recurring symbol there's a recurring symbol of clothing throughout the play a motif of clothing so clothing is something physical and temporary you can remove clothing it's not permanent it's physical you can literally remove it right and it can be easily removed so this is a light his title as king it is not permanent due to the sinful extraction of it he has not been divinely ordained he has not been divinely ordained by God to become the king the just the likes when he's talking about these borrowed robes robes or something temporary it's just aike to his title being temporary and we can also say this foreshadows how temporary his title is because of course he doesn't he's not King till the end of the play because he gets killed and Mal becomes the king he's the rightful King right so that is a kind of really nice interpretation about Motif and why Motif is really good as well guys is because you're looking at it across the whole play and that is a higher level skill to look at a technique across the whole play rather than just like one part of the play that's what higher level students do because you're looking at it across the whole text rather than just one isolated part of the text Lexus on borrowed Lexus just means word choice so it's just like a nice fancy way of saying instead of saying the word borrowed just say the Lexus borrowed this again shows the temporal nature of his power and that is emphasized again so we get this rle sense of this temporary power there's this lack of permanence it's quite transient transient means it's not permanent it's like fleeting so it's transient so there's a real emphasis especially in act 1 scene 3 from the beginning of the play that this temporary power is evident and this kingship because it's not his rightful kingship will not be longlasting and then this is just another little extra grade nine nugget of information in Act five Angus who you don't need to know who Angus is but Angus is a character he says this about MC Beth does feel his title hang loose about him like a Giant's robe upon upon a dwarfish thief again the mo teth of clothes that being borrowed and he's talking about here that MCB best clothes are too big for him as in the role was too big for him and he couldn't fulfill it so you can kind of reference that quote if you wanted to to add on to your analysis and just reference that that motif of clothes is also extended in Act five so we see it extended throughout the entirety of the play so I'll going to let you guys get a second to write that down and we've got a nice bit of motif on about in the light up Hub as well if you want that in a bit more detail when you guys get it tomorrow the best violation of kingship so upon my head they placed a fruitless Crown so this is an act three scene one love this quote for kingship I think it's really really significant so the diction on placed again diction is the same as Lexus it just means word choice so if you're going to say word choice either say the diction or the Lexus just a fancy way of saying it so the diction placed it shows it's been carefully crafted not naturally given think if you place something it's like with intention you're putting something there on purpose again that reinforces that this isn't natural this kingship is not natural it's been crafted okay he has meticulously manipulated his position as king so it's not rightful it's not his natural position as king he has manipulated it that's really really significant he's sign he's manipulated it it's been placed upon him not given to him he's taken it for his own to do with it what he will the adjective fruitless now I really like this bit of analysis I think it's really good at a high level King a being a king is synonymous synonymous means like closely linked with being being fruitful to their people in terms of leadership and morality so what I mean by that is being King when they think about being king or if you think about you know a king or a queen they're meant to lead their people you know they're meant to be moral they're meant to be a good example so typically we see being a king is being like fruitful like full of leadership morality that's how we closely link them right but M be's amission so like a lack of fruit because it's fruitless that's an omission of fruit it's not there signifies his tainted kingship and how he's violated natural order to acquire this tainted means it's like stained the fact that he has got a fruitless Crown rather than like a fruitful Crown shows that he doesn't have this leadership and he doesn't have this morality he is not fruitful fruitful in those characteristics we would typically see in a leader like a king because of course it's not a natural position he has violated the natural order he has violated the great chain of being he's violated the divine right of kings in order to attain this position so he has tainted that that is why it's fruitless and the fact that he recognizes that shows that recognition he understands he will never be a natural king that's really important to note as well really like that bit of analysis the idea that King is synonymous with being fruitful in leadership and that Beth is obviously the antithesis of that he's the opposite of that because he doesn't naturally acquire he's not been divine finally ordained always really key to knowe and then link to context here his conscience so conscience is like conscience and that's KN right from wrong is riddled with the awareness of his violation of this foundational fact of life what I mean by awareness of this violation he is aware that he has violated foundational Facts of Life in the Victor in sorry not Victorian different era in the jacoban era great chain of being and the divine right of kings would have been seen as foundational Facts of Life they just accepted Facts of Life people just didn't not believe them they were fact it wasn't like oh I don't know if I believe in God everybody believed in God so he would have been very aware at the time that he has violated these foundational Facts of Life great chain of being and the divine right of kings and we see that because he's aware he's got this fruitless Crown he knows that he has gone against his creator so he knows that he has gone against against God and he knows he'll be punished for it but he almost goes on this tyrannical Rampage tyrannical being like a cruel or oppressive leader he goes on his tyrannical Rampage because he knows almost there's no saving him he's already committed the worst act he could commit is regicide regicide is killing of the king he has killed the king and of course we know in terms of the great chain of being you know the pyramid we had he's basically killed God because God has chosen the king so he has committed the ultimate sin and he knows he's going to be punished for that and we start to see that awareness seeping in but it almost comes to a point in a play where he understands how far he's gone in terms of the violation of kingship and the violation of God that he just continues on
