![]() ![]() RALPH: Well, it sounds like everybody's headed to bed. Tell him I hope he can get some sleep, too. RALPH: Well, he says, I hope you can get some sleep.īANQUO: Okay. RALPH: What are you two talking about exactly? Tell him, as long as I don't lose honor in trying to gain more honor, as long as I can keep my conscience and my allegiance clear, then I'll be happy to follow his lead, as you say. It sounds like he wants you to read between the lines.īANQUO: Yes, well, two can play at that game. Doesn't sound like he's referring to the conversation you'll be having. So, "if you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis, it shall make honor for you." So if you follow his lead, when the time comes, you'll gain honor from it. ![]() RALPH: When what time comes? The time when you two talk? Or is he referring to something else? RALPH: And then he says-and maybe you can help me with this one-"if you shall cleave to my consent, when 'tis."īANQUO: You know, cleave to his consent-if I will follow his lead when the time comes. But he says he'd like to talk about it sometime soon, if you're willing. RALPH: He says he hasn't thought about them at all, which seems really hard to believe. RALPH: You mean that Macbeth is now Thane of Cawdor, and you're thinking that maybe their other predictions will come true as well.īANQUO: What does he say when I mention the weird sisters? How does he react? Well, you two did say that you'd talk about it more later. RALPH: Yes, well, Macbeth says that the arrangements were put together at the last minute but they managed to pull it off.īANQUO: You know what? I should also tell them I had another dream about the weird sisters. I should tell him that it was quite a party. Macbeth and a servant appear.īANQUO: So he's not in bed either. And why are you carrying around a sword when you're safely within Macbeth's walls? RALPH: Is there someone there? You seem a little nervous. ![]() But what are the cursed thoughts in your case? Didn't they just predict that you would be father to kings? What cursed thoughts come from that? It seems to have really unsettled both you and Macbeth. RALPH: Bad dreams, huh? This has to do with the meeting that you had with the weird sisters. As soon as I go to sleep, they come right back. There's certain thoughts I don't want to have, and I can keep from thinking about them if I stay awake. So, why not just go to bed, get some sleep? And why are you carrying that sword around?īANQUO: I don't dare sleep. A heavy summons lies like lead upon you, you say. It's late at night at the Macbeth castle and the party's over.īANQUO: Just how late is it anyway? You know?įLEANCE: I know the moon has gone down, but I haven't had the clock, though.īANQUO: Well, normally the moon goes down around midnight.īANQUO: Do you mind taking this for me? I'm so tired. RALPH: And this must be your son, Fleance. When Macbeth goes to visit the witches again and the first apparition tells.

Macduff discovers the body of King Duncan.RALPH: Welcome back to the studio, Banquo. Macbeth must kill Banquo and his son, so no one will have the opportunity to take the crown away from him. Banquo, his son Fleance, and Macduff enter. The couple then leave to wash blood from their hands. Macbeth is paralysed with remorse – so Lady Macbeth goes into the chamber herself. She tells him he must return to smear the King’s grooms with blood in order to implicate them in the crime. Macbeth reappears and describes the murder to Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth appears, listening intently. He enters the King’s chamber to kill him. Alone and troubled, Macbeth hallucinates, seeing a blood-stained weapon. Fleance represents a grave threat to Macbeth, not because, like Duncans son Malcolm, he can raise an army, but because he is evidently Banquos only surviving. King Duncan, Malcolm, his son, Banquo and Macduff are received by the Macbeths. Macbeth enters and Lady Macbeth urges him to kill the visiting King. Lady Macbeth appeals to dark forces to assist her. It is announced that the King is imminently to arrive. She is determined that Macbeth will find the courage to murder King Duncan. Lady Macbeth reads a letter from Macbeth describing his encounter with the witches. ![]()
