Macbeth is expressing the dangers of being overambitious. He is aware that mindless ambition makes a person blind to all the pitfalls that are in front of that person. So, he is warning himself to be careful of his own desires. Especially when he believes that the prophecy is about to be thwarted by the announcement of Duncan. It gives credence to the point that Lady Macbeth didn't convince Macbeth to commit murder. That intent was always present in him. It has nothing to do with the weather. The weather is simply gloomy which is a part of the 'darkness' ...(Answered by lacey)

Do your own homework. If you had a question about one quote where I could believe that you read the play but forgot the context of a single line, I would help you. As it is, you need to do your own work. Them's the rules. Further, your questions should read: Can I get what these quotes mean and WHO is speaking to WHOM? Clearly, English is not your favorite subject. But suck it up. You deserve no credit for work you ask others to do for you....(Answered by SalamanderGirl)

Whoa..okay. Hope you're not 14 years old! It's a reference to a hooker. As if the hooker's (bawd's) hand is touching the penis, and both are compared to clock hands. At noon they would touch. So, Mercutio is saying, "hey, it's almost noon, the clock looks like a hooker's hand on a penis. Then he says the clock hands are actually pokingf at noon. Shakespeare was dirty, huh?...(Answered by misslucyhoneychurch)
