"False face must hide what the false heart doth know"

"False face must hide what the false heart doth know"
-Macbeth
To me, this quote just ties together and encompasses all the emotions of the first 3 scenes of Macbeth. In this quote Macbeth is saying that he can't show outwardly all the horrible things he knows and feels inside. When Macbeth says this he is planning ahead, not yet knowing he will kill the king and his best friend. I feel like once the deed is done Macbeth has a constant struggle to keep his cool and not show on the outside how evil he is.

This becomes harder and harder for Macbeth the farther he digs his hole. The more people he kills the more insane he goes and when he has his panic attacks he is showing his insanity to anyone who can see. At this point in the play people are beginning to become suspicious of Macbeth. Macduff has gone to find Malcom and give him his rightful place on the throne. Overall, I think this quote shows what Macbeths main goal is after he plans to become king.
