Macbeth's reaction to the witches predictions (Act 4 Scene 1) - Monologue in rhyming couplets
I am left to contemplate These weird sister's words of late. I resonate confidence Bestowed upon by guidance, Yet I shalt not be at peace Until Macduff shall cease. Oh, but why should I fear thee? But, I cannot let thou be. Macbeth shalt not be vanquished, No power can be unleashed That may turn fate from me. My eyes! What shall Banquo be? Assured, I cannot be vanquished, What cannot fate keep leashed?

Justification of choice of monologue
I chose lines 33 - 61 of Act 2 Scene 1. this is one of the turning points of the play conveying the state of Macbeth's mind before his murder of Duncan. It depicts Macbeth's final decision to kill Duncan. It shows the fear but determination of Macbeth. In retrospect, it depicts the beginning of his downfall by laying the foundations of his later tyranny.
