Act 2 Scene 2 speeches Flashcards
6) A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight
There’s one did laugh in ’s sleep, and one cried. “Murder!”
That they did wake each other. I stood and heard them.
But they did say their prayers, and addressed them
Again to sleep.
7) There are two lodged together
One cried, “God bless us!” and “Amen” the other,
As they had seen me with these hangman’s hands.
List’ning their fear I could not say “Amen,”
When they did say “God bless us!”
8) Consider it not so deeply
But wherefore could not I pronounce “Amen”?
I had most need of blessing, and “Amen”
Stuck in my throat.
9) These deeds must not be thought after these ways; so, it will make us mad.
Methought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep”—the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,
The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
40Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
10) What do you mean?
Still it cried “Sleep no more!” to all the house.
Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more.
Macbeth shall sleep no more.”
11). Who was it that thus cried?
…
They must lie there! Go carry them and smear the sleep grooms with blood.
I’LL GO NO MORE!
I am afraid to think what I have done;
Look on ’t again I dare not.
12) Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers!
…
I’ll gild the faces of the grooms withal, For it must seem their.
she exits
Whence is that knocking?
How is ’t with me when every noise appals me?
What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red.
14). she enters
My hand are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white.
KNOCK
I hear a knocking at the south entry.
…
Hath left you unattended.
KNOCK
Be not lost so poorly in your thoughts.
To know my deed ‘twere best not know myself.
KNOCK
Wake Duncan with thy knocking!
I would thou couldst.
