One
A Doctor is summoned to Dunsinane to see Lady Macbeth after a woman reported her sleepwalking. The Doctor is speculative until she walks right past them, muttering. She mutters about an old man with so much blood, the death of Banquo and “…what has been done cannot be undone…” The Doctor and Woman are speechless and cannot say anything for that would be treason. “What need we fear who knows it, when none can call out our power to account? – Yet who would have thought the old man had so much blood in him?”

Four Lords of Scotland meet by Birnam wood leading their troops. It has got to the point where even Macbeths soldiers and all who live under his rule refer to him as “The Tyrant”. He fortifies Dunsinane. The lords blame Macbeth for all the murders and troubles recently (which is mostly true). He is unfit to be king and his army revolts and under the lords command, joins the English force. “Now does he feel his secret murders sticking on his hands. Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach. Those he commands move only in command, nothing in love. Now does he feel his title hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe upon a dwarfish thief.”

Macbeth has changed. He Bullies any servant he dislikes and is considered mad. Hecate’s plan is working and he is completely self centered, he feels powerful and nobody can and will take that away from him. Then we are introduced to his captain, Seyton (sounds like Satan) who is instructed to get Macbeths armor. He will fight to his death (which in his mind is never). The Doctor from scene one arrives, and informs Macbeth that the queen is unwell, not from a physical aliment but a sickness of the mind that only she can cure. Macbeth is then giving orders to Seyton for his armor, and demanding a cure from the doctor. “Cure her of that. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart?

Malcolm meets up with both his armies behind his back in Birnam Wood. He orders each soldier to take a branch from a tree and use them as camouflage to hide their numbers and confuse Macbeth’s scouts. “Let every soldier hew him down a bough and bear ’t before him. Thereby shall we shadow the numbers of our host and make discovery err in report of us.”
