Shakespeares Cats
Othello
Act V scene 11
Desdemona protests her innocence and begs Othello to
spare her life.
Kill me tomorrow, let me live tonight.
Macbeth
Act 11 scene 11
After murdering Duncan, Macbeth has distractedly brought away
the daggers with him. Appalled at what he has done, he cannot bring
himself to put the daggers back; but Lady Macbeth, made of sterner
stuff, takes over.
Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead, are but
as pictures;
Tis the eye of childhood, that fears a painted
devil.
Richard 111
Act 1 scene 1
Richard Duke of Gloucester conceals the fact that he is
plotting to remove all obstacles that stand between himself and the
crown of England.
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
