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.

Act 5 scene 1
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 sleepwalking.
Notes on Never let me go
Without giving it away to those who haven’t read it it explores ideas of isolation, desire but mainly despair. A book that follows the life of a woman who throughout reminisces the good times she has had from when she was a little girl to the present day.
I am going to use this book in my coursework and apply it to marxism.
Notes I made were mainly marking down page whilst reading and taking notes as I went on.
Donations:
- donating to allow the rest of civilisation to carry on.
- They were created for a purpose -relating to the human race but in particular the working classes. As they are from a young age encouraged to go down a path of hard labouring they have no choice once they are put into knowledge based groups from a young age. this then leads them to not having high aspirations and settling for the route that is presented to them.
- Cogs of society to allow it to carry on breathing and stay functioning.
The idea of being monitored relates to ISAs. The people who created them are the teachers (upper/middle classes), they teach them how to speak and act properly and tell them that how they are accepted into the world is based on how much they can produce and not who they are. This then strips them of any life and forces them to stick together otherwise they’ll strive to exist.
The idea of not being able to progress within society as you are kept in one place:
-Can’t have babies -arent allowed out
The world they live in is an illusion of an ideal world within walls which relates to class barriers. How if you settle for a working class job you can only rise to the top of that station. In todays society the advance in education and the number of people who have the opportunity to use it to their advantage has removed class barriers to some extent leaving it to peoples aspirations to do well. if they want to they can simply choose to learn using the education system and progress themselves.
Act 4 scene 2
In Macduff’s castle in Fife, Lady Macduff comforts and is comforted by her young son, who displays a courage beyond his years when confronted with the possibility that his father has turned traitor. Although warned by the Thane of Ross to escape before it is too late, Lady Macduff is encountered by Macbeth’s henchmen, who brutally kill first her child and (as the audience learns in the following scene) her.
Act 4 scene 1
In this scene Macbeth returns to the weird sisters and boldly demands to be shown a series of apparitions that tell his future. The first apparition is the disembodied head of a fighter, who seems to warn Macbeth of a bloody revenge at the hands of Macduff. The second is a blood coverd child who comforts Macbeth with the news he cannot be killed by any man “of woman born.” The third is a child wearing a crown, who promises that Macbeth cannot lose in battle until Birnam wood physically moves towards his stronghold in Dunsinane.
Perfect paragraph
Lady Macbeth reads her husband’s letter before welcoming home Macbeth and preparing to receive the King. Lady Macbeth enters the castle alone with a letter. Also Lady Macbeth uses a soliloquy in the text which suggests that she wishes that she was evil, and that she wishes she was poisonous. The soliloquy she says is “That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here” she means that she wants to be a boy and not a woman because she wants to be king
