Pg 79
Is this a dagger which I see
before me,
The handle toward my hand?
Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see
thee still.
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 heatoppressèd brain?
Is this a dagger I see in front of
me, with its handle pointing
toward my hand? Come, let me
hold you. I don’t have you but I
can still see you. Fateful
apparition, isn’t it possible to
touch you as well as see you? Or
are you nothing more than a
dagger created by the mind, a
hallucination from my fevered
brain.
 Pg 79-80
Alack, I am afraid they have
awaked,
And ’tis not done. Th' attempt
and not the deed
Confounds us. Hark! I laid their
daggers ready;
He could not miss 'em. Had he
not resembled
My father as he slept, I had
done ’t.
o Oh no, I’m afraid the
servants woke up, and the
murder didn’t happen. For
us to attempt murder and
not succeed would ruin
us. Listen to that! I put the
servants' daggers where
Macbeth would find them.
He couldn’t have missed
them. If Duncan hadn’t
reminded me of my father
when I saw him sleeping, I
would have killed him
myself.
 Pg 80
Methought I heard a voice cry,
“Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep”—
the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the raveled
sleave of care,
The death of each day’s life,
sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great
nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
 Infirm of purpose
o I thought I heard a voice cry,
“Sleep no more! Macbeth is
murdering sleep.” Innocent
sleep. Sleep that soothes away
all our worries. Sleep that
puts each day to rest. Sleep
that relieves the weary laborer
and heals hurt minds. Sleep,
the main course in life’s feast,
and the most nourishing.
o Calling him a coward
Pg 81
 To know my deed, ’twere
best not know myself.
Wake Duncan with thy
knocking. I would thou couldst.
 They hailed him father to a
line of kings.
Upon my head they placed a
fruitless crown. And put a
barren scepter in my grip,
Thence to be wrenched with
an unlineal hand,
No son of mine succeeding. If
’t be so, For Banquo’s issue
have I filed my mind;
For them the gracious Duncan
have I murdered; To make
them kings, the seed of
Banquo kings!
o Rather than have to think about
my crime, I’d prefer to be
completely unconscious.
Wake Duncan with your
knocking. I wish you could
o They named him the father to a
line of kings. They gave me a
crown and a scepter that I can’t
pass on. Someone outside my
family will take these things
away from me, since no son of
mine will take my place as king.
If this is true, ( Banquo’s warning
and negativity)then I’ve tortured
my conscience and murdered the
gracious Duncan for Banquo’s
sons.
 pg 83
 This is the very painting of
your fear.
This is the air-drawn dagger
which you said
Led you to Duncan.
o This is just another one of
the hallucinations you
always get when you’re
afraid. This is like that
floating dagger you said
was leading you toward
Duncan.
 pg 84 Thou art too like the spirit of
Banquo. Down! Thy crown does
sear mine eyeballs. And thy hair,
Thou other gold-bound brow, is like
the first. A third is like the former.—
Filthy hags! Why do you show me this?
A fourth? Start, eyes! What, will the
line stretch out to th' crack of doom?
Another yet? A seventh? I’ll see no
more. And yet the eighth appears, who
bears a glass Which shows me many
more, and some I see That twofold
balls and treble scepters carry. Horrible
sight! Now I see ’tis true;
For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles
upon me
And points at them for his.
You look too much like the ghost of
Banquo. Go away! Your crown hurts
my eyes. Your blond hair, which looks
like another crown underneath the one
you’re wearing, looks just like the first
king’s hair. Now I see a third king who
looks just like the second. Filthy hags!
Why are you showing me this? A
fourth! My eyes are bulging out of
their sockets! Will this line stretch on
forever? Another one! And a seventh! I
don’t want to see any more. And yet an
eighth appears, holding a mirror in
which I see many more men. And
some are carrying double balls and
triple scepters, meaning they’re kings
of more than one country
! Horrible sight! Now I see it is
true, they are Banquo’s
descendants. Banquo, with his
blood-clotted hair, is smiling at
me and pointing to them as his.
Pg 87
She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time
for such a word. Tomorrow, and
tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from
day to day. To the last syllable of
recorded time,. And all our
yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out,
out, brief candle! Life’s but a
walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour
upon the stage And then is heard
no more. It is a tale Told by an
idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
She would have died later anyway.
That news was bound to come
someday. Tomorrow, and
tomorrow, and tomorrow. The days
creep slowly along until the end of
time. And every day that’s already
happened has taken fools that
much closer to their deaths. Out,
out, brief candle. Life is nothing
more than an illusion. It’s like a
poor actor who struts and worries
for his hour on the stage and then
is never heard from again. Life is a
story told by an idiot, full of noise
and emotional disturbance but
devoid of meaning.
Pg 87
I begin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish the estate of the world
were now undone.—
Ring the alarum-bell!—Blow,
wind! Come, wrack!
At least we’ll die with harness on
our back.
Of all men else I have
avoided thee.
But get thee back. My soul is
too much charged
With blood of thine already.
I’m starting to grow tired of
living, and I’d like to see the
world plunged into chaos. Ring
the alarms! Blow, wind! Come,
ruin! At least we’ll die with our
armor on.
You are the only man I have
avoided. But go away now. I’m
already guilty of killing your
whole family.
Pg 88
I will not yield,
To kiss the ground before young
Malcolm’s feet,
And to be baited with the
rabble’s curse.
Though Birnam Wood be come
to Dunsinane,
And thou opposed, being of no
woman born,
Yet I will try the last. Before my
body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay
on, Macduff,
And damned be him that first
cries, “Hold, enough!”
I’m not going to surrender and
have to kiss the ground in front
of Malcolm, or be taunted by the
common people. Even though
Birnam Wood really did come to
Dunsinane, and I’m fighting a
man not of woman born, I’ll
fight to the end. I’ll put up my
shield and battle you. Come on,
let’s go at it, Macduff, and damn
the first man who cries, 'Stop!
Enough!'
