In the play Macbeth, Malcolm says, " Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell. Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet grace must still look so." What does that mean?

Question

The first sentence means that angels are still good even though the angel who was best (Lucifer) fell and became evil -- it doesn't mean all angels are evil. The second sentence means that good things still must look good even if bad ones sometimes look good too. In terms of larger themes, I think this one has to do with ambition. The lines imply that all leaders must be ambitious and even if ambition is sometimes bad, it is also present in good people. property of http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/act-4-scene-3-143359 check it out
