Dramatic Irony

Dramatic Irony- Is when the people watching know more then characters. In act one of Macbeth dramatic irony is used when he plans on killing the king for the crown and he does. We knew that it was going to happen when it did because of what the witch's said to Macbeth. That is dramatic irony.

Decisions?

"With his surcease, success; that but this blow/
Might be the be-all and that end-all here"

I think in this soliloquy Shakespeare is saying that if Macbeth commits this murder that Duncan will go to heaven and live the after life which is told to be a wonderful place. If Macbeth does do it he will go to hell and suffer a life of internal flames.
