How do the plot and setting work together in act i? specifically, how does the setting in each of the scenes complement the events? use examples from at least two scenes in the play in your response.

In Macbeth, Act 1, scene 1, three witches in the countryside appear, in the middle of thunder and lightning, showing an atmosphere of disorder, confusion, and fear. The witches say "fair is foul and foul is fair" which makes us think that all things that seem to be one way, are completely the opposite. The witches talk in riddles and seem dark, dangerous, sinister. They look as if they knew exactly what to say to make Macbeth feel unconfortable and confused.  

In Act 1 scene 7, there is a soliloquy, in which Macbeth debates if he should kill Duncan or not, because he was in fact very loyal to his King, and to kill him while he is a guest in his house represents a serious betrayal. He also admits that his only reason to kill him will be ambition, and the moment he makes the decision to become a murderer, he is opening the gates of sin and darkness in his own life. He analyses the reasons to become such a traitor and his possible consequences and realizes that it is not worth it, so he is not going to kill Duncan. In this scene, the plot helps to demonstrate Macbeth loneliness, in the sense that he is taking alone in the dark even though there are many servants but do not interact with him and his thoughts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
