Macbeth
A room in Macbeth’s castle at Dunsinane. Enter a doctor and Lady Macbeth’s serving
woman. Woman: Sine the King left for
battle, my lady has done many strange things.
I have seen her get up, put on her night gown and unlock her
cupboard. She takes out some paper and
writes a letter, but all this time she is asleep.
Doctor: Her mind must be very troubled. If you tell me, perhaps I can help her. Woman: No, sir. I was here with her alone. I cannot prove the truth of what I say. You might not believe me.
Lady Macbeth puts down the candle. She looks at her hands. Yes, just one spot of
blood. Oh, that will damn me! Away, damned spot, away! You will ruin everything by acting like a
coward. Woman: She has said things that
should be secret. Only Heaven knows all
she knows.
Doctor: I do not have the skill to cure this
illness. But I have known of people who
walked in their sleep, but still died peacefully at the end of their
lives. Lady Macbeth: Wash your hands. Put on your night gown. Don’t look so afraid. I tell you again. Banquo is in his grave, he cannot come out of
it. Doctor: People who are sick in mind,
often reveal their secrets. She needs
help from Heaven, not from me. God
forgive us all. The Lady’s words have
troubled my own heart.
