Lady Macbeth's Unrest
Scene 1: After the murder
In Act 2, Scene 2, Macbeth returns from Duncan’s chamber carrying the daggers. He is horrified by what he has done and believes he heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep.” Lady Macbeth tells him not to dwell on it. When he refuses to return the daggers, she takes them herself, saying, “Give me the daggers.” She adds, “The sleeping and the dead / Are but as pictures.” Yet she admits that she would have killed Duncan herself if he had not resembled her father as he slept. The scene closes with the couple hearing a knocking at the gate.
- He is overwhelmed by fear and guilt about the murder.
- He is pleased that he has successfully carried out his plan.
- He is worried that the guards have not yet been blamed.
- He is eager to return to Duncan’s chamber.
Scene 2: A later disturbance
In Act 5, Scene 1, a Doctor and a Gentlewoman watch Lady Macbeth sleepwalk. She rubs her hands and cries, “Out, damned spot! out, I say!” She appears to see blood that cannot be washed away and remembers the murders in broken fragments: “Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?” The Doctor observes that she needs “the divine” more than a physician. Lady Macbeth’s earlier confidence has given way to compulsive actions, fear and guilt.
