Deception

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (1.1.12)
This quote was made by the three witches who are chanting around a steaming cauldron in a desert. This line sort of sets the tone for the play basically saying that foulness or bad doing is fair and can be justified. These lines are like a eye opener to make the reader a little more interested and focus on what might happen or to hint that something foul is about to go down sooner or later in the play.

This line also relates to the quote in 'Hamlet' "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" because it also meant that something was really wrong or someone did something wrong in Denmark and was one of the important themes in the play which was stated in the first act of Hamlet.


"There's daggers in men's smiles" (2.3.)
This line was said by Malcom, one of King Duncan's sons and he says this because everyone is claiming to be loyal to the king and his sons but you can never really trust anyone at this point in the play. This is bascially saying that people can be very fake, behind their friendly smiles but really they want to stab you in the back.

I really think that this qoute would refer to Hamlet's uncle Claudius because he was truly a backstabber when it came to him and Hamlets father. Claudius pretends that he's a good guy when we see him become king but really he is the villain for killing his brother/Hamlet's father in the play but no one knows it until the ending. There were daggers behind Claudius's smile...in his case poison.

"Nothing is what but what is not" (1.3.141-142)

Macbeth says this quote and he makes this remark because he's talking about the subject of murder and imagining horrible things. He also states that the thought of murder "ratteles his nerves" and talks about how the predictions that the witches have made and told him, frighten him alot.

I don't know how this can realte to Hamlet but i'm guessing it would in some way go with the murder of hamlets father and Claudius and Hamlet.
