Macbeth Act 2 Scene 3

Go tell the king I want to talk to him for a few minutes.

No problem, madam.

We have slashed the snake but not killed it. It will heal and be as good as new, we'll be threatened by its fangs once again.

Come on relax, dear. Put on a happy face and look cheerful and agreeable for your guest tonight.

That's exactly what I'll do, my love, and I hope you'll do the same. Give Banquo your special attention. Talk to him in a way that will make him feel important.

You have to stop talking like this.

Argh! I feel like my mind is full of scorpions, my dear wife. You know that Banquo and his son Fleance are still alive.

But they can't live forever

That's comforting. They can be killed, it's true. So be cheerful.

Lady Macbeth worries about Macbeth and sends a servant to call him and talk with him.

Lady Macbeth ask Macbeth, why does he keep to himself and not talk to her anywhere, then Macbeth start to tell her about his guilt and worries.

What's going on my lord? Why are you keeping to yourself, with only your sad thoughts to keep you company?

Lady Macbeth talks to Macbeth to let these worries go and focus on the banquet tonight, while Macbeth agrees, he cannot let the worries.

Lady Macbeth continues to talk Macbeth out of his worries, but Macbeth talks about how his guilt has infected his mind and cannot be let go of and then tells her about the current situation of Banquo and his son.

Macbeth finally listened to lady Macbeth and lets a bit of his worries go, but no matter what he will not let it go fully.

What are you going to do?

It's better you don't know about it until after it's done, when you can applaud it, Come, night, and blindfold the kindhearted day. Use your bloody and invisible hand to tear up Banquo's lease on life, which keeps me in fear.

Macbeth finally listened to lady Macbeth and lets a bit of his worries go, but no matter what he will not let it go fully.
