ReplyDeleteResponse to Emily’s question #1
ReplyDeleteMacbeth was not sad when Lady Macbeth died because he said that “she should have died hereafter (5.5.20). This line showed that Macbeth went sort of insane and careless about others.
Macbeth did not seem to care because he knew that he was going to die from the witches’ prophecy. He just wanted to find the man who was not woman-born.
Response to Nesma’s question #2
Fleance had not being mentioned in the play for a long time so it meant that he was not coming back to Scotland again.

Answer
Gianluca’s Question Lines Act V, sc. 1
Shakespeare uses the doctor in this scene to show how Lady Macbeth’s conscience is affecting her. In the end of the scene, the doctor says that he can’t cure Lady Macbeth and that she needs spiritual help, perhaps a priest. The doctor was used only to emphasize that Lady Macbeth’s guilt was affecting her and that she could not receive any medical assistance.

ReplyDeleteWhat does Shakespeare mean when he wrote "throw physic to the dogs. I'll none of it.-"?
Answer to Christian's question 1 : Perturbation is a cause of mental disturbance. When Shakespeare wrote "A great perturbation in nature ,to receive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects of watching" it means it is unusual for Lady Macbeth to sleep and walk at the same time.

Why does Macbeth only fight Macduff when he says"Painted upon a pole"? (Act 5 scene 8 lines 30-39)
Respone to Elaine
Shakespeare is saying with this quote that the medicine won't help Lady Macbeth. There is no medicine that can help her deal with the grief of all the misdeeds she commited. The pain is eating away at Lady Macbeth and she is hurting inside.
Answer to Lillians #2 part 1:
ReplyDeleteMacbeth mentions that Lady Macbeth is soon to die because he will kill her since she knows too much about him killing other people to become king. Even though they are husband and wife, he needs to make sure no one knows what he has done so he can maintain as King.

Answer to Lumi's question #2:
When Siward said "He's worth no more." He is telling Malcolm that even though Young Siward is dead. There is nothing he can do about it. Young Siward had tried fighting Macbeth, but failed. Siward doesn't feel that the death of Young Siward is a tragic because he has many sons like when he said, "Had I as many sons as I have hairs(Act 5, Sc.8 Line 56)."

ReplyDeleteWhy does Lady Macbeth go crazy? What drove her to lose her mind?
Answer
Lumi’s question on Macbeth reference on playing the “Roman fool”.
I think Macbeth means he does not want to be killed in the same matter Julius Caesar was killed. Caesar was killed by the people he most trusted. Macbeth does not want that to happen to him.

What does Young Siward mean when he says "Thou liest, abhorred tyrant"
Answer: Alicia's question
Lady Macbeth went crazy because she started to feel guilty about everything that her and Macbeth have done. Past thoughts about their previous actions haunted her. For example the fact that she continuously washed her hands was because she thought their was blood on them being that they killed people.
Answer to Miriams Question:
ReplyDeleteWhat does the line “Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard?” mean?
At this time Lady Macbeth was washing her hands trying to get "stains" out even though there wasn't really any there and she talks about the previous murder. Murky means cloudy which she says while washing her hands. She doesn't think they have anything to fear about as she just goes on since she has now gone crazy ...

Answer to Jasons question about Lady Macbeth's "white heart":
Lady Macbeth is now speaking the truth about her evil deeds while she is asleep. This might be because she is feeling guilt from what her "white heart" has caused her to do. She is able to hide her past while she is awake, but now she is telling the truth while she is asleep.

Answer to Michelle's question:
Act V Sc. 5 Lines 28-31
Why does Macbeth feels life is worthless? Is it because his wife has died, or is there a deeper significance?
Macbeth feels worthless because he has lost all happiness. Trying to reach the throne, Macbeth has murdered several characters which has cost him his sanity, sleep, and nourishment. Macbeth is paranoid which does not allow him to live a healthy life. He has lost all of the worthy aspects of life, including Lady Macbeth.

ReplyDeleteWhat does Macbeth mean by the dogs?
"Throw physic to the dogs. I'll none of it-"
This is just a phrase. It is another way of saying "The medicine is unnecessary." Physics means medicine. So this phrase becomes "Throw the medicine to the dogs." The quote, "I'll none of it" is basically another way to say, "I don't want to hear it." Macbeth is basically saying he does not like the idea of medicine.

ReplyDeleteResponse to Emily's second question: How come Macbeth didn't seem to care?
(V.v.20-26)
I believe Macbeth does not care as much as he should. Lady Macbeth knew of all the murders, as she influenced Macbeth to commit them as well. Macbeth said "She should have died hereafter; There would have been time for such word."(V.v.20)
Answer to Joseph’s question on act V scene i
ReplyDeleteWhy does Lady Macbeth have these strange sleepwalks?
Lady Macbeth has these strange sleepwalks because she feels guilt. Now Lady Macbeth feels guilty for what she and Macbeth did. She sees blood on her hands and no way to wash it off. When she sleepwalks, Lady Macbeth sees the blood of Duncan on her hands and it bothers her. Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking proves the voices Macbeth herd about the murder taking sleep away.

What does Macbeth mean when he says "They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly" ?
Macbeth is realizing that the end is upon him. Unlike previous post stated he is finally worried not for the number of enemies surrounding him, but for the prophecy coming true. In Act 5 Sn 5 line 33-35 a servant tells Macbeth that he saw the forest began to move. Macbeth was immediately outraged, for he knew that if 1 part of the prophecy came true then inevitably the other parts will come true as well, causing his demise

Character/Plot
Macduff calls Malcolm the new king but what happens with Fleance and Banquo's prophecy?
Although not specified with in the book, based on some research on the internet ( not Wikipedia =)) Apparently king James 1 , who was the ruler during that time was the descendant of Banquo. Shakespeare probably put that in in order to flatter the king.

Answer to Lumi's 1st quest: When Macbeth said "Why should I play the Roman fool and die" he probably ment that why should he even try to kill the romans that are against him, when he knows that he'll die anyhow. Basicaly what he is saying is that he it's a waste of his time.
