Macbeth: Scene Analysis
Act 2 Scene 2 Line: 0 – 40
In this passage from line 0-40 in the act 2 scene 2 of the novel Macbeth written by William Shakespeare. This passage pretty much talks about how Macbeth went to King Duncan’s room while the servants are drunk and murdered King Duncan. This is one of the most important scenes in this novel.
I will organize my speech by going down the lines of the text. There are two characters in this passage, which are Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Throughout this passage Lady Macbeth made all the servants drunk to let them not interfere with what their plan is. In sentence 4 of this passage Lady Macbeth said there was an owl that shrieked with a scary “good night” just like the bell that rings before the execute people. That line shows that Lady Macbeth heard that sound and though that Macbeth had already murdered King Duncan. King Duncan’s doors are open and the servants are too drunk to protect the king. Lady Macbeth had put so much drugs in the drinks that the servants would not be able to tell if they are alive or dead. Macbeth suddenly said to himself who’s there? What is it? Lady Macbeth somehow can hear that and thinks oh no the servants could be awake by now and that the murder had not happen yet. Lady Macbeth says that if they couldn’t successfully murder King Duncan this will ruin them. Now she start to worry that Macbeth did not murder King Duncan yet. She starts to think about where she put the dagger and it is in a place where Macbeth would find it. She say to herself that there is no way that Macbeth couldn’t have missed it. If King Duncan did not remind Lady Macbeth of her father when she saw King Duncan sleeping she would have killed him right there. In these few lines of the passage we can see that Lady Macbeth starts to worry about Macbeth not being able to finish the murder. She worries that Macbeth wouldn’t be able to find the sword and also the servants could be awake and would ruin the whole plan. She uses flashback to think of
