The phrase "I have no spur to prick the sides of your intent" suggests a lack of motivation or inspiration to encourage or provoke someone's desires or ambitions. It implies that the speaker feels indifferent or uninspired about the other person's goals or actions. This can reflect a sense of detachment or a recognition that the other person must find their own drive. Ultimately, it conveys a message of resignation regarding the influence one can exert on another's motivations.

Choose one example of imagery from Act I of Macbeth. Why does Shakespeare use this image How does it help us understand the play's action and-or characters?
"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent save vaulting ambition . . ." There are two images here, one of a spur which is used to prick the sides of a horse to make him go forward, and the idea of vaulting, of jumping over an obstacle. Compare this image with "The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down or else o'erleap." Again we have the idea of jumping ahead over an obstacle. This image is consistent with the idea of primogeniture in the inheritance of a crown, an established value in seventeenth century England (although not in eleventh-century Scotland), and one which was of considerable concern in the face of a failed terrorist attempt to kill the king, which took place immediately before the play was written.
What line references Macbeth's POINT OF NO RETURN?
In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the line that signifies Macbeth's point of no return occurs in Act 1, Scene 7, when he states, "I have no spur / To prick the sides of my intent, but only / Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself." This moment reflects his internal conflict and the realization that his ambition drives him to commit regicide, sealing his fate and irrevocably altering his moral compass. Once he decides to proceed with the murder of King Duncan, it marks the beginning of his descent into tyranny and madness.

How does Macbeth explain his desire to be king at all costs?
Strangely enough, he doesn't. In fact he says explicitly that his desire to be king is not worth the cost of murdering Duncan. "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent save vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself." Therefore he tells his wife "we will proceed no further in this business." He is just not that ambitious. But she is and she knows just what buttons to push to get him to agree to the murder. Please note that she does not play on his ambition, which is insignificant, but rather on his sense of manliness. In order to understand this play you need to read or watch Act I Scene 7 over and over and over.
