The monologue I have chosen for Lady Macbeth is her famous scene after she has gone "crazy." It's the first scene of Act 5. Previously Ross has told Macduff about his family's murder and Malcom encourages them all to overthrow Macbeth. In Scene 1 of Act 5, Lady Macbeth's attendant reports to the Doctor that she has seen her sleepwalking. She refuses to tell what her mistress has been saying in her sleep. Lady Macbeth, asleep, then enters with a candle. Her monologue is interecpeted with the conversation between the doctor and the gentlewoman, commenting on what they hear; however, for Lady Macbeth she is in her own world, uninterrupted.
Act 5 Scene 1
A room in Dunsinane Castle
LADY MACBETH Yet here's a spot.
Out, damned spot! Out, I say! One–two—
why then ’tis time to do't. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie!
A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it,
when none can call our power to account? Yet who would
have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

The Thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?
What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o’
that, my lord, no more o’ that. You mar all with this starting.
Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes
of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!

Wash your hands, put on your nightgown;
look not so pale. I tell you yet again, Banquo's buried; he
cannot come out on’s grave.

To bed, to bed; there's knocking at the gate.
Come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's
done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed.

ReplyDeletehey friends
ReplyDeletewhats wrong wth this
ReplyDeletewhy are people saying something is wrong with this? hope you realise that what they wrote is from the Macbeth play its self.
ReplyDeleteAnd before you go criticising, you should learn to spell correctly.
Thank you for posting this! I was having trouble finding a version of this monologue without the doctor and gentlewoman to study for an audition.
ReplyDeleteI love this monologue it's personally my favourite monologue out of the whole play!
