Characters: Gentle woman, Doctor, Lady Macbeth.

Time: After England being viewed.

Location: Dunsaine. A room.

Events: Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking and talking, and the things she says aren’t for other people to here. The gentlewoman talks of this to the doctor. Lady Macbeth then walks in holding a candle, and starts talking. What she says is dangerous as it begins to reveal the truth of what really happened, and the doctor gets scared knowing that he may be killed for knowing this information. He also pretty much says that Lady Macbeth is going crazy and is beyond any person’s help, and that only God can help her now. She leaves, and the doctor says something that I shall explain soon, and then leaves with the gentlewomen.

quote:”Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: Infected minds to their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.” This is said by the doctor after Lady Macbeth has left . What he means by the first part is that if someone does something they know to be wrong, then more wrong and bad things will  continue to happen. And the more wrong you do, the more the troubles that face you will appear. THe second part talks of how a messed up mind will not be able to get a good nights rest, and will not sleep rightly until their secrets leave them. And the doctor could be saying this as he already knows that lady Macbeth is not of sound mind, and has many secrets, some of which he just heard. So he know most likely believes that Lady Macbeth is not as honest as she first appeared, and that hteir is something going on that is unnatural.

Characters: Lady Macduff, Callum, Rosse, Messenger, 1st murderer, 2nd murderer.

Time: After Macbeth’s viewing of the apparitions.

Location: Macduff’s castle. A particular room.

Events: Lady Macduff talks of how her husband has fed. Rosse looks out for him and defends him, but that is difficult without being treacherous to the king. Lady Macduff at this point  gets into an argument with her children about what a traitor is, and Lady Macduff then speaks of how he is ‘dead’ and could buy 20 more at the shop. The son is not a fan of this. Rosse also left a while before, knowing trouble came this way. Instead, a messenger comes in and tells of how a threat comes, and then leaves for fear of his personal safety. A murderer comes in and kills callum, and lady Macduff runs.

Quote:”What is a traitor?” Said by Callum, and next; “Why, one that swears and lies.” Which is said by Lady Macduff. What is said by Callum can be taken to mean that he is curious as to what a traitor is, and he wonders why his father is being called that. What his Mum then says makes it seem that who lie and swear are traitors. After that the son says: “Then the liars and swearers are fools; for there are liars and swearers enow to beat the honest men, and hang them up.” What this means is that Callum is fully aware of the fact that most people are liars and swearers, and so what his Mum said can’t be true, because the majority can’t betray the minority. what he says could also be taken to mean that there are enough bad people in this world to work together and take over this world, and no one could stop them.

Characters: Lenox, the lord.

Time:later, King Macbeth has been king for a while.

Location: Somewhere in Scotland.

Events: Lenox talks of how Macduff has went to England, and that Fleance had feed and so was accused of killing Banquo, his father. After this, they begin talking of how a messenger has been sent, and that the country is unhappy under Macbeth’s rule. Also, war comes to Scotland.

Quote:”For’t would have angered any heart alive to hear the men deny’t.” This is said by Lenox. Remember the guards Macbeth framed and then killed in a ‘fit of rage’? Lenox brought them up again, and talked of how anyone would of been angered by what these 2 had done. But he also mentions the possibility that the 2 men would have denied what they had apparently done, which makes it seem as if Lenox has started to wonder if maybe it wasn’t the guards who did the job, but in fact someone else. Namely, the man who killed them. Indeed, Lenox is committing treason against king Macbeth, and doesn’t trust him, even possibly believing that Macbeth has been trying to cover up what he did.

Characters: 1,2,3 murderer. And Banquo. Also Fleance. Later we see Fleance, 1st Murderer, Macbeth, Banquo’s ghost, Lady Macbeth, Rosse, Lenox, Lords, attendants.

Time: The day Banquo dies. That night.

Location: Road to the palace. Banquet room in palace.

Events: The Murderer’s talk to each other. They Kill Banquo, and Fleance escapes. After this, we see everyone but Macduff at the banquet. The murderer walks in and Macbeth gets up to talk to him and discover what happened to Banquo and Fleance. He isn’t happy that Fleance escaped. After this, Macbeth goes to sit dowwn and see’s the ghost of Banquo. Macbeth begins speaking to the ghost, which Lady Macbeth explains as fits that he has been experiencing his whole life. He agrees. The ghost then comes back and he starts talking to Banquo again. After Banquo leaves again, Lady Macbeth decides everyone should go to sleep as she is scared Macbeth might start talking about what he did. Macbeth has decided to find the 3 witches again, and kill Macduff.

Quote:”You make me strange even to the disposition that I owe, When now I think you can behold such sights, and keep the natural ruby red of your cheeks, when mine is blanched in fear.” A quote said by Macbeth. This was said in a way that would allow anyone else listening to think that he was talking about his fits, while it also allows Macbeth to talk to himself and wondering how everyone else is not scared right now from seeing the literal ghost of Banquo.

Characters: Banquo, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Attendant, Lenox, Rosse.

Location: A room in the palace.

Time: Macbeth is now king Macbeth.

Events: Banquo talks of how the witches were correct so far, and that they might be correct abut his own children, this also gets the audience to remember what the witches said would happen. Macbeth then comes out and talks of when Banquo will return from his riding. After this, he invites in 2 murderer’s and talks of how it was Banquo who made their lives so bad. So it seems next time Banquo shall be killed. He also talks of how mad he is that Banquo and his children will benefit as they will be the next kings, while they didn’t even have to do anything.

Quote:”Well then, now Have you considered of my speeches? Know that it was he, in the times past, which held you so under fortune, which, you thought, had been our innocent self.” This was said by Macbeth as he talks to the murderer’s. What was meant by this is that Macbeth has talked to the murderers before, and so we know that this has been going on for a while and that Macbeth had wanted Banquo dead for quite a while.

Characters: Lady Macbeth and a gentle-women/ servant, Also Macbeth.

Time: That day before he has Banquo killed.

Location: The castle, but in a different room to last time.

Events: Lady Macbeth talks to a servant to bring the king. Macbeth comes and says to Lady Macbeth that something will happen tonight, but it would be better if you didn’t know. They then talk about hiding how they truly feel, with fake smiles and other tricks. And he then says that they shall the room and go somewhere else.

Quote: “We have scotched the snake, not killed it: She’ll close and be herself; whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth.” This is said by Macbeth. What I believe him to mean by this is that Even through they have killed Duncan, there is still a threat by another person. This person being Banquo who still presents a threat as he knows of the witches and their prophesies. there is also another threat, the loyalty to Duncan is still a threat(Meant by that snake) and that Banquo must be  gotten rid of as he presents a clear threat(Banquo being the tooth, like it is the tool of destruction Duncan shall use to bring down Macbeth.)

Characters: Old man, rosse, Macduff.

Time: After Duncan dies.

Location: Outside the castle.

Events: An old man talks about Unnatural phenomena happening. Rosse agrees. Macduff walks in and talks of how Macbeth will most likely be the next king. He also says the suspeicion for the murder of Duncan is on Malcolm’s head.

Quote:”Gainst nature still: Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up thine own life’s means!” This was said by Rosse, and what was meant by that was that Ambition with no end will effect the very reason of life.

Characters: Porter, Macduff, Lenox, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Banquo, Rosse, Malcom, Donalbain.

Location: Same as before. The courtyard.

Time: After Duncan has died.

Events: The Porter talks about an annoying knocking. He opens the door for Macduff And Lenox, Who then talk about alcohol with the porter. Then Macbeth enters who asks about Duncan, where Macbeth and the others discover Duncan to be dead. Macduff tells everyone what has happened. Macbeth kills the guards apparently out of anger. Malcolm and Donalbain plan to leave. Malcolm will leave for England, while Donalbain plans to leave for Ireland.

Quote: “Who can be wise, amazed, temperate, and furious, loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man: The expedition of my violent love outran the pauser reason.” This was said by Macbeth who meant by this that no person can feel so many things at once with out encountering problems, like losing their ability to reason and instead relying on their racing emotions. In Macbeth’s case, his emotions pointed him towards killing Macbeth.

Characters: Lady Macbeth, Macbeth.

Time: The night. Bye bye Duncan.

Location: The courtyard.

Events: Lady Macbeth takes to herself about drugging the guards successfully, then hears Someone speak, and worry’s that her husband might of been caught before he could kill king Duncan. Then Macbeth comes out side holding the knife that killed Duncan. Macbeth expresses his guilt as that it would infect the word, while Lady Macbeth completely brush’s it off.

Quote:”Wake Duncan with thy knocking: I would thou couldst!” Macbeth said this and would of meant by this that he wishes he could bring Duncan back. But he is still aware that this is beyond his ability. And yet he still wants to remove his guilt and bring Duncan.

Characters: Banquo and Fleance. Also Macbeth

Time: Night. Duncan shall die!

Location: A court within a castle.         

Events: Banquo is talking to his son called Fleance. Banquo talks about bad thoughts(maybe he was suffering from a nightmare.) Macbeth lies to Banquo multiple times about the witches.The king is asleep, and has given Lady Macbeth a large diamond to “shut her up.” Later, Macbeth finds himself striding towards Duncan’s bedroom. He begins talking to his knife, wondering and even slightly confused as to why he is holding it and yet can’t feel it(It is a hallucination). He shall now kill king Duncan! ( As everyone is asleep, and he has a knife from a guard presumably.)

Quote:”Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.” This was said by Macbeth as he was about to kill King Duncan. It meant that Macbeth did not know if Duncan would go to heaven or not, and that he was hoping for Duncan not to hear the bell sound, the bell of his death as Macbeth believes. It might just be the time the maids and servants go to sleep, or signified midnight. But I believe that that bell was the toll of death that rings when someone dies, like King Duncan in his last moments to come.
