barber1: when shall we three meet again in a barber shop

barber2: when the hairline is won when the the shape up is fresh and done

barber3: which should be done before the set of sun

barber1: what the cost

barber2: only 5 because it was not lost

barber3: do come back with Macbeth to and have a toast

barber1: do come head barber

barber2: London calls

barber3: yes

all: we all do and all do bad we are not the ones who will not be sad throughout the foggy and filthy air when we have done macbeths hair

A paradox is a statement which is hypocritical of itself.

So foul and fair a day I have not seen

its a foul day because of the weather

Lesser than macbeth and greater

this is a paradox as something can’t be bigger and smaller than something as macbeth will never be king and he is king but macbeth is a worse man than banquo

Act 5, Scene 5: Inside the castle, Macbeth prepares to do battle with Malcolm and Macduff. He learns that Lady Macbeth has committed suicide and hardly mourns her death. He is hardened by his newfound life as a criminal and is thus devoid of all proper emotion and compassion for his wife. A messenger interrupts Macbeth’s reverie and tells him that he saw the trees of Birnam Wood moving towards the castle. In reality, this is Malcolm’s army carrying the trees before itself. Not believing what the messenger says, Macbeth looks out the window to verify his statement.

Malcolm and the Scottish thanes along with Siward and his son approach Birnam wood with their large army. Malcolm orders the men to each cut a bough from the forest trees and use it to disguise themselves so that Macbeth will not see them coming. The lords have learned from reports that Macbeth remains at Dunsinane and that his troops have dwindled because many of the men have revolted. The only men left to fight for Macbeth are men who had no other choice, and are therefore not so strong of heart as the men who fight for Malcolm because they want to. Malcolm and the lords are optimistic that Macbeth will be defeated, but they want to hold off on boasts until the battle has been won for certain.

At the Scottish royal home of Dunsinane, a gentlewoman has summoned a doctor to observe Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking. The doctor reports that he has watched her for two nights now and has yet to see anything strange. The gentlewoman describes how she has seen Lady Macbeth rise, dress, leave her room, write something on a piece of paper, read it, seal it, and return to bed—all without waking up. The gentlewoman dares not repeat what Lady Macbeth says while thus sleepwalking.

bring me no more reports

In the countryside near Dunsinane the Scottish lords who have joined against Macbeth are waiting for Malcolm, Macduff, and the English support that they will bring. Menteith, Caithness, Angus, and Lennox discuss what they know of Macbeth’s preparations for battle. The king has fortified the Dunsinane castle, and they have heard word from those who hate Macbeth that he behaves madly. The lords decide amongst themselves that Macbeth’s guilt has finally driven him crazy, and rightfully so because he has committed crimes so horrible that his own senses are reviled by his actions.
