Analysis: Act 2, scenes 1–2īanquo’s information of the witches’ prophecy makes him both a potential ally and a ability hazard to Macbeth’s plotting.
“A little water clears us of this deed,” she tells him. She leads her husband back to the bedchamber, where he can wash off the blood. As Lady Macbeth reenters the corridor, the knocking comes again, and then a third time. The portentous sound frightens him, and he asks desperately, “Will all incredible Neptune’s ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand?” (2.2.58–59). As she leaves, Macbeth hears a mysterious knocking. He refuses to move returned into the room, so she takes the daggers into the room herself, pronouncing that she would be ashamed to be as cowardly as Macbeth. Lady Macbeth before everything attempts to regular her husband, however she becomes angry whilst she notices that he has forgotten to leave the daggers with the drowsing chamberlains which will frame them for Duncan’s murder. He provides that as he killed the king, he idea he heard a voice cry out: “Sleep no extra, / Macbeth does homicide sleep” (2.2.33–34). When they said “amen,” he tried to mention it with them but located that the word stuck in his throat. Badly shaken, he comments that he heard the chamberlains wide awake and say their prayers earlier than going again to sleep. Macbeth emerges, his hands blanketed in blood, and says that the deed is done. She asserts that she might have killed the king herself then and there, “advert he no longer resembled / father as he slept” (2.2.12–13). She says that she can not recognize how Macbeth ought to fail-she had prepared the daggers for the chamberlains herself. Hearing Macbeth cry out, she issues that the chamberlains have awakened. She imagines that Macbeth is killing the king at the same time as she speaks. This is the type of hall that existed in the real Macbeth’s day.Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this bloodĬlean from my hand? No, this my hand will ratherĪs Macbeth leaves the corridor, Lady Macbeth enters, remarking on her boldness. They ironically apply both to the victim (“heaven”) and to the murderer (“hell”). As Duncan is a good king, Macbeth’s last words before the murder are inappropriate if they refer to the King only. His mind is filled with images of Hecate’s evil activities at night and he asks the earth to silence his steps when he walks to Duncan’s room. When Macbeth is alone he has the hallucination of a blood-stained dagger which magically seems to urge him to kill Duncan. Apparently Macbeth and Banquo have become suspicious of each other. Banquo consents but expresses that he will never become unfaithful to the King. Macbeth pretends not to think of them but then proposes to talk about that matter at another time. Whereas Banquo is haunted by his dream about the three witches and their “prophecies”. He gives Macbeth a ring, the King’s present for Lady Macbeth’s hospitality. While Banquo is disarming before going to bed, he tells Macbeth that Duncan is sleeping. ExitĪt night Banquo and his son Fleance meet Macbeth in the courtyard of his castle. Hear it not, Duncan for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell. A bell rings I go, and it is done the bell invites me. Whiles I threat, he lives : Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, Which now suits with it. With Tarquin 's ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Now o'er the one halfworld Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtain'd sleep witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate 's offerings, and wither'd murder, Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace. There's no such thing: It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going And such an instrument I was to use. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Exit Servant Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
MACBETH Good repose the while! BANQUO Thanks, sir: the like to you! Exeunt BANQUO and FLEA NCE MACBETH Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready, She strike upon the bell.
