I spent about 3 hours on my portfolio project, 30 minutes reviewing for macbeth quiz, and I read for about an hour of Lauren Conrad: fashion book
Foul is fair and fair is foul
This quote is obviously a quote that sticks out to most people. When I hear this I dont automatically think of Macbeth like most people because usually I am trying to figure it out. If you break it up into two parts (foul is fair) and (fair is foul) you can really understand just what Shakespeare means. Some people may disagree but this is what I think of when I hear Foul is fair and Fair is foul.
Foul is fair- sometimes being foul or something foul can lead to a fair thing. I do not think that this is true all the time but for Macbeth I feel like this quote describes it perfectly.
Fair is foul- now even though foul is fair is the complete opposite of fair is foul this also makes since. Sometimes for things to be fair they had to be foul. For intense to make something fair you may have to split something half way but that could be foul to the person who was suppose to get more causing fair to be foul.
I agree with your interpretation of this quote but I also think this quote kind of describes how good things can be bad and bad things can be good. Which goes back to how towards the end of Macbeth you couldn't really tell the difference between good and bad or night and day, etc.
