Both Uses of
repent
in
Macbeth
- But I have spoke
With one that saw him die: who did report,
That very frankly he confessed his treasons;
Implored your highness' pardon; and set forth
A deep repentance: nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it; he died
As one that had been studied in his death,
To throw away the dearest thing he owed
As 'twere a careless trifle.†p. 27.1repentance = to feel or express regret for having done wrong and to desire to be a better person in the future
- O, yet I do repent me of my fury,
That I did kill them.†p. 69.7 *repent = to feel regret for having done wrong and to firmly decide to be a better person in the future
