Macbeth 1.2 Word Nerd: Quarry

The transcript explores the evolution of the word 'quarry', which originally referred to the worthless parts of a hunted animal given to hounds. Over time, it came to mean a group of dead bodies, either from a hunt or a battlefield, and later, the animal being pursued. Shakespeare uses both these meanings in his work, depicting Fortune as both favoring MacDonald's victims and hunting MacDonald himself.
