There is so much wrong wit this circuit. Like literally everything.

But the worst think...

don't do it. the first problem is that if you run 2 100R resistors over 120V AC, assuming 10 amperage, you'll have 48 watts of power.
120 = 300R x A
A = .4
120V x . 6A = 48W

if you're resistors aren't rated high enough they'll catch on fire instantly.
and 2n3906 transistors are rated for genreral purpose applications, NOT high voltage.

is your motor DC or AC?
if it's DC you need to step down the voltage to the correctly rated voltage of the motor.
you can do this by making a full bridge rectifier.
but if you didn't know your circuit was wrong, you should probably stay away from high voltage until you learn the fundamentals of electricity.

made mistakes***
3 100R resistors*
120V x .4A = 48W

You could use this one.
I use it on my drill, works perfectly.
It's the easiest way of regulating AC - using a triac.

i'm more interested in the sequence of thoughts that produced this 'circuit'

if you want to explode the transistor then yes
