Macbeth Act 5

What do the doctor and gentlewoman see Lady Macbeth doing? What do they decide to do about it? Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking and talking about the murders. The doctor decides his best move is to not mention that he heard anything. And he tells the woman to keep an eye on Lady Macbeth.
What does Macbeth want the doctor to do for his wife? He wants the doctor to ease her suffering, to give her something to make her oblivious to her weighty troubles.
What trick does Malcolm use to hide the number of men in his army? He has his men cut off tree branches and use them as camouflage.
Malcolm says, “And none serve with him but constrained things Whose hearts are absent, too.” What does that mean? Macbeth’s armies are there in body only, not in spirit. And there should not be any serious opposition.
What is Macbeth’s reaction to Lady Macbeth’s death? He takes it very calmly, saying she would have died sooner or later anyway.
What is Macbeth’s reaction to the news that Birnam Wood is moving? “Arm, arm and out!” He’s going to fight to the bitter end and take down the whole universe with him if necessary.
Who first fights Macbeth? What happens? Young Siward fights Macbeth and is slain.
Macbeth says to Macduff, “But get thee back, my soul is too much charged with blood of thine already.” To what is he referring? Macbeth doesn’t want to fight Macduff. He has already killed Macduff’s family.
When does Macbeth know he’s in trouble? He knows this is his end when Macduff tells him he was taken from his mother’s womb instead of being “born of woman”
How does Macbeth die? Macduff fights him and beheads him.
Who will be King of Scotland? Malcom will be king.
