English Macbeth Act 2
Tekst Storyboardowy
- Act 2 Scene 2: In this scene, Macbeth returns from murdering Duncan, alarmed that he heard a noise. Lady Macbeth dismisses his fears and sees that he has brought the guards' daggers with him, rather than planting them at the scene of the crime. She tells him to return the daggers but he refuses and Lady Macbeth goes instead.
- Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the deadAre but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhoodThat fears a painted Devil. If he do bleed,I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal,For it must seem their guilt.
- Act 2 Scene 3: Macbeth shows Macduff to Duncan's chambers, where he uncovers the horrible murder. They sound alarms which wake all the sleeping thanes and Lady Macbeth. Lennox tells Duncan's sons that their father has been murdered by his guards, and Macbeth explains that he killed the guards out of 'fury'.
- Ring the alarum-bell! Murther and treason!Banquo and Donalbain! Malcolm, awake!Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,And look on death itself! Up, up, and seeThe great doom's image! Malcolm, Banquo,As from your graves rise up, and walk like sprites,To countenance this horror! Ring the bell!
- Act 2 Scene 4: Macduff arrives and tells Ross that he believes that the guards who murdered Duncan were bribed by Malcolm and Donalbain, which is why the two sons have fled the country. Ross reports that Macbeth has been named king and he plans to go to Scone for his coronation but Macduff heads home to Fife instead.
- 'Gainst nature still:Thriftless ambition, that wilt raven upThine own life's means! Then 'tis most likeThe sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth.
