Macbeth By: Haley Haggard
Lady MacBeth’s “Out-Out” Speech “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?”
Blood • Blood in the play is equal to guilt • Thinks she sees blood stains of Duncan • Old man with so much blood = so much guilt
Sleepwalking • General unrest • Unknowingly confesses • No inhibitions about confessing • Isn’t the first time she’s sleepwalking (doctor and gentlewoman) • Only confesses in sleep • Makes crimes known to others • Façade of dominance and strength let down • Necessity of sleepwalking for confession scene
Wringing Hands • Washing away sin • Nervous/anxious movement (not confident) • Obsessive
Hallucinations • Common theme in Macbeth • Husband saw daggers + ghost of Banquo • Similarly ailed • Again, guilt • She mocked him, now the same
Iambic Pentameter • Shakespeare always uses, not here • Shows craziness • Abruptness • Choppy • Losing control
Fear • “Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account?” • Tries to assuage guilt with assertion of power • Questioned Macbeth’s manliness • Connotation - Too powerful to get caught • Soldiers should not have fear • Then ‘we fear’
The Sleepwalking Lady MacbethbyJohann Heinrich Füssli ART 1780s
Music: • 2001, Zurich OperaLady Macbeth - PaolettaMarrocu
Blood on My Hands by Demons and Wizards • The blood on my hands you see cannot be washed away/I am chosen by destiny/To dwell in misery
Lady Macbeth by Barclay James Harvest • Like a jester dressedIn a silly gownSomething evil came to townAt the darkest hourIn the dead of nightAll who'd listen gathered roundFrom the uninspiredFrom the tortured soundsNo one noticed what she'd doneBy the pricking of my thumbsSomething wicked this way comes Like a fool possessedEvil grabbed the bladeDripping blood upon the keysWith her cheap disguise
