We Have Scorched The Snake Not Killed It
What does the quote "We have scorched the snake, not killed it: ...Remains in danger of her former tooth," mean in Macbeth?
We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it.(15)
She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth. (Act 2, Scene II)
Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth that, by killing Duncan, they have not put the matter of the throne to rest. By scorching the snake but not killing it, Macbeth means that they still have threats to face, even with Duncan out of the picture. He also references that they have put Duncan to rest in peace, while they must still suffer through challenges so long as they are alive. Macbeth's mounting guilt has made him increasingly paranoid, and he worries that his place on the throne, as well as his life, is not secure.
