Macbeth Justification
Macbeth
In this production I am acting as Lady Macbeth, she is often portrayed as an ambitious and deceitful woman whose obsessive behaviour for power leads her to her own destruction. In this scene, Act 5 scene 1, Lady Macbeth enters carrying a light unaware of the doctor or the gentlewans presence. I decided to use an old fashion candle as my light and kept my gaze straight ahead in an attempt to capture the gaze of the audience. Throughout this entrance I keep my facial expressions tedious to illustrate her discomfort, how she has become detached of this world. I dull my voice to make it seem as if I am in a hypnotic state, then as Lady Macbeth continues to fidget with her hands I raise my voice to seem as if I am in distress. I changed the tone of my voice to fit the characters emotions as I say “Fei, my lord, fie! A soldier and afeard?” I make my voice almost angry as if I can’t believe he can be afraid when he is a solider and meant to be brave. I continue to end my lines with a guilty voice as I talk about the innocent dead King Duncan. My voice remains unchanged as I talk of the thanes wife who was also murdered. I begin to shake as I look down to my invisible blood stained hands. I have to continue walking, shaking and rubbing my hands while the gentlewoman and doctor quietly talk about my sanity. My character starts to loose herself in her anxiety and cry’s desperately because of her guilt. I continue passing and shaking till my next line were I begin talking to my husband. I change to my voice to a more panicked tone as I try to reassure him that we are safe and cannot be caught because Banquo is dead. I continue to look at my husband till I hear a knocking; I change my facial expression to a worried look. I quicken my speech as I frantically try to lead Macbeth away so we can return to our bed before anyone finds us. I end the scene clinging to my husband’s invisible hand while we hurry to our room.
All together we executed this play very well as we
