"The love that follows us sometime is our trouble,
Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach you
How you shall bid God 'ild us for your pains
And thank us for your trouble"
This quote is important because I feel that it represents the book as a whole. It explains how love and trouble are different but can be the same. In the book Macbeth goes through the trouble of killing people but it seems as if he loves doing it because it causes trouble. This can be confusing but makes sense at the same time. In this quote Duncan explains how we thank trouble as love sometimes, and how we thank God for our trouble.
"Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or hell."
This quote represents the time where Macbeth goes to kill Duncan. This is the first person that Macbeth kills and I feel that at this time, Macbeth is starting to realize what he is about to do. I interpreted this quote as saying "The bell has rung for you to die" because that is what it is saying. We understand that Macbeth is about to kill Duncan because he says that he is about to be summoned to heaven or hell.

Nice post Audrey. Although I don't think Macbeth likes to cause trouble. I believe his fate has him do these things, because I don't feel he wants to be like he is.
