ACT THREE SCENE FIVE

(A castle in Scotland. Enter Lennox and Ross. They are talking about Macbeth)

Lennox: I agree with all you’ve said. It’s very strange. There are many questions now that need an answer. Our noble Duncan was Macbeth’s honoured guest. Duncan died… Banquo and his son went out too late… Banquo died too. His son Fleance ran away - so the son must have killed the father! In the same way Prince Malcolm and his brother killed the King, their father, and they fled too!

Ross: Then how unhappy Macbeth was! How wise he was to kill the drunken servants, before they could deny their part in murder.

Lennox: Those living sons must not come near Macbeth. I fear he’d do them harm. The good Macduff has kept away from Macbeth too. That’s angered him.

Ross: Sir, can you say where brave Macduff has gone?

Lennox: He’s on his way to England, where Prince Malcolm lives in the English court. Together they will ask King Edward for an army to march against the tyrant. With Macbeth dead, we may sleep at night, keep ourselves safe and live as honest men again.

Ross: Does Macbeth know where Macduff is?

Lennox: Yes. Macduff was ordered home, but he won’t come. So now Macbeth prepares for war.

Ross: Then let us pray the English army marches soon.

Lennox: I pray for victory and the tyrant’s death.

Ross: And peace for our sad country too. Farewell, sir.

Lennox: Farewell, noble thane.
