Macbeth Act 4
Storyboard Text
- The witches are preparing a spell for Macbeth when Hecate arrives.
- "Oh well done! I commend your pains,And every one shall share i' th' gains.And now about the cauldron sing,Like elves and fairies in a ring, Enchanting all that you put in."
- Macbeth demands that the witches show him the future and they show him Banquo's descendants as future kings, then the ghost of Banquo appears.
- "Show his eyes and grieve his heart.Come like shadows; so depart!"
- "Wisdom! To leave his wife, to leave his babes, His mansion and his titles in a place From whence himself does fly? He loves us not;He wants the natural touch. For the poor wren,The most diminutive of birds, will fight,Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. All is the fear and nothing is the love, As little is the wisdom, where the flight So runs against all reason."
- Macduff has fled and Lady Macduff and Ross surmise about why he left, and if he was a wise man or a coward.
- "You know not Whether it was his wisdom or his fear."
- "He has killed me, mother. Run away, I pray you!"
- Lady Macduff's son is killed by muderers and as he dies he tells her to go thither.
- Ross comes with sad news for Macduff about how his family was wantonly murdered.
- "Would I could answerThis comfort with the like. But I have words That would be howled out in the desert air, Where hearing should not latch them."
- Macduff vows to destory Macbeth because of what happened to his family.
- Oh, I could play the woman with mine eyes And braggart with my tongue! But, gentle heavens,Cut short all intermission. Front to front Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself.Within my sword’s length set him; if he ’scape, Heaven forgive him too.
