Suddenly, from somewhere in the castle, there was a loud scream.
-What on earth was that? said Macbeth to his servant…-That is the sound of women crying. Find out what it is.
The servant ran out of the hall. He came back a short while later. He was very pale.
-What is it man? I have Heard enough enough screams in the middle of the night. Tell me what it is, I am not afraid of screams in the day.
-The Queen, my Lord, is dead.
-Now? The Queen my wife is dead today? But why today, not tomorrow?Why has her candle gone out today? Tomorrow I would have time to think about her, my Queen, my love. So why today? Not tomorrow. or tomorrow or another tomorrow, when time Will be there for me to think about her. To think about her passing. to think about my love. No, this means nothing to me. So! So, she is dead. Life is just a passing shadows. We walk on the earth for an hour or two and then we die. It means nothing. Dont walk to me about the Queen today, I want news about this army, give me news about the Queen today, I want news about the Army, give me news about the Army.
There was a noise outside the room and a Messenger came running into the hall. He was clearly afraid.
-Sire, a strange things is happening outside.
-What? Tell me what is happening?
I was standing on the battlements looking out towards Birman Wood. Sire, the forest is moving. It looks like Birman Wood is moving. It is coming in this direction.
-Liar! What are you talking about? cried Macbeth, That is imposible. Once again in his mind, he Heard the witches.
He was very afraid. There was only one choice...I have lived long enough. Let me end all this today. I am tired of the sun. I ll die fighting he shouted and he ran out of the castle onto the batterfield.
Malcom was shouting to his tropos on the batterfield outside the castle. Siward, The English general was with him…-Put down your branches and show Macbeth who you are ! he called…-Macduff , lead your men into battle! Lets fight well and kill the tyrant!
-To battle! called Macduff to his men.
The two armies fought hard. Macduff was everywhere, he was looking for Macbeth. Macbeth himself was fighting hard.
-No man of woman born can harm Macbeth.
The witches words echoed in his mind as he fought. He killed Scotsmen, he killed Englishmen…-You were born of woman! he cried to each of them as they died.
At one point in the battle, he met a Young man. They fought hard.
-Who are you ? asked Macbeth, as he paused for breath.
-Siward, son of the general.Who are you ? cried the Young man.
-You are the devil himself. I ll kill you !
Macbeth laughed as he killed the boy.-Kill me ! You too were born of woman!
The English army was too strong for Macbeth s forces. The thanes son took the castle. Malcom and the thanes searched the casttle but they could not find Macbeth. Macduff went back out into the battlefield, determined to find him. He was thinking about his wife and children. Then, there in the mist, he saw the King.
-Turn, hell hound, turn! cried Macduff.
-No! cried Macbeth, you are the last man I want to fight.
-I have your family s blood on my hands already. I Will not fight.
-Tyrant! Bloody tyrant! My sword Will be my voice.
With these words, Macduff attacked Macbeth, They fought furiously.
.You are fighting hard for nothing! cried Macbeth, my life is not in danger, You cant kill me, you know. No man born of woman can harm Macbeth!
-Ah, shouted Macduff, you are in danger. You Will die by my sword. Because I was not born, I was cut from my mother s dead body.
The witches lied! cried Macbeth as he began to understand...It was all a lie, a game. I Will not fight...Macbeth put down his sword.

Macbeth.-
While Malcom, the thanes and the English army were cutting down branches in Birnam Wood, Macbeth was making preparations in his castle at Dunsinane.He was not all afraid. The words of the witches came back to him.
No man of woman born can harm Macbeth.
Macbeth Will only be defested when Birman Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill.
-No, I am not afraid, Macbeth said to himself. Malcom was born of woman, all men are born of women and to add to that, forests dont move.
Macbeth s pies and servants were trying to find out move many men were in their enemies army.
-Sire, said a servant running into the room, they say there are ten thousands men in their army.
-I am not afraid, shouted Macbeth in anger. they cannot kill Macbeth Bring me my armour,
.It is not time, yet, replied the servant.
Just at that momento, the doctor came into the room.
-Ah, yes. My good doctor how is my wife ? Is she any better? What is the matter with her ?
.She cant sleep. She has delusions.
-Cure her, doctor, give her something to make her sleep. She is sad, find a way to make her forget her sadness. Cure her, thats your job. Mine is to fight a battle.
-I cannot cure a broken heart. replied the doctor-
-But you have potions and drugs to cure my wife. I am sure you can do it. Just cure her. Perhaps you also have drugs to cure my wife.
-Yes, sure.Your preparations make that clear.
-well. I am not afraid of death. Birman Wood must come to Dunsinane before I die.
The doctor sighed. He wished he was a long way away from Dunsinane.
In Birnam Wood, the soldiers were waiting. They were all carrying branches from the tres in the Wood. The thanes gave the order, March... they called, Macbeth towards Macbeths was defiant.
-Put out the making preparations for the battle. Macbeth was defiant.
-Put out the Flags. Show them this castle is mine. Put out my flags, he ordered.
-They Will come son. Prepare for a siege, We are strong here in the castle, they have no briks or Stone to hide behind. Let them attack, then, when they are weak, we ll attack them and send them home to England. They Will never take this castle...They Will never take my throne !

Macbeth.-
In the countryside, near Macbeth s castle at Dunsinane, groups of Scottish thanes were meeting.Malcom and the English army were coming.
Macbeth is at Dunsinane. Some say he s mad, some say he s angry. The other thanes nodded in agreement.
-Yes, we need a good King. We don t want a King who murders people.A King who murders people in secret.
The thanes knew that they had to fight Macbeth. They knew they had to take his castle. The army set off to march to a small forest much closer to the castle at Dunsinane to wait for Malcom and the English army. The name of the forest was Birman Wood.
Malcom, Macduff and the English army arrived to join the thanes at Birman Wood. The thanes and Malcom stood at the Edge of the Wood looking at Dunsinane Castle on the opposite hill. The castle looked strong. Malcom was thinking about Tactics.
-Tell every soldier to cut down a Branch from a tree. We must carry the branches in front of us. Thay way, Macbeth wont see the army and he wont know how many of us there are.
The soldiers started cutting down branches.
-It is almost time, said Macduff...Time for the battle.

Macbeth.-
In Macbeths castle at Dunsinane, there was a very strange atmosphere. Thanes and servants were all talking about the events of the last few weeks. People were talking about Macbeth. They were talking about Macduff s family and they were talking about the Queen, Servants gossiped about her strange habits. The Queen was starting to walk around the castle at night. Some of the servants watched her as she walked. -She talks to herself, they said. -Perhaps she s going mad.-
After several nights of this strange behaviour, The servants began to feel afraid, so they called a doctor. The doctor came to the castle and listened to what they had to say. He decided to sit with one of them and watch the Queen s door one night. That night, he came to the castle at about ten o clock .He sat down outside the door to The Queen romos until six o clock the following morning. Nothing happened. He returned to the following night and nothing happened. On the third night, however, things were different. The doctor was sitting with a servant outside the door to the Queens romos when, suddenly, the Queen herself opened the door. She walked out of her romos and into the corridor.
-Look! -said the servant-She is walking, but she s asleep.
-You are right, whispered the doctor-Tell me again. How long has she been like this?
-Since our Lord Macbeth became King.
-And What has she said'?
The servant was afraid. I Will never tell anyone. I have no witnesses, so I ll be silent.
-What s she doing now?said the doctor.
-Oh! she often does that.
-She s rubbing her hands, said the doctor quietly.
-Yes, sometimes she can rub her hands for a quarter of an hour without stopping.
-Shh, she is talking, said the doctor.
-Yes, and she always says the same thing. Listen to this, replied the servant.
-Here s a spot, said the Queen, looking at her hands, as she walked in her sleep.
-I ll make a note of this, said the doctor-
Lady Macbeth was walking up and down the corridor.
-Oh dammed spot!I say. It s blood. The old man had so much blood in him. And Macduff? Macduff, Macduff, the Thane of File, he had a wife.
Where is she now? My hands Will never be clean again.I can still smell the blood on them. All the perfumes of Arabia Will never make them smell sweet again.
-I ve never seen anything like this, whispered the doctor, Servants should not hear things like this.
-I know, The Queen is saying things she sould not say, replied the servant.
-She is in such pain, she feels such sadness, said the doctor to himself.
But the Queen continued…-Wash your hands, put on your nighclothes, do not look so plae.I t s fine, Banquo s dead and gone. He can t come back again. To bed, I can hear knocking at the gate.
What s done is done, we cant change the past. To bed.
The Queen went back into her romos.
The doctor was amazed.
-There are such terrible rumours about the King and Queen. Perhaps they are true. Perhaps the Queen is mad. It is clear her mind is tormented. I don t know what to think. I want you to take care of her. Look after her well.
-I Will. good night, doctor.
After several nights of this strange behaviour, The servants began to feel afraid, so they called a doctor. The doctor came to the castle and listened to what they had to say.

Macbeth.-
A few weeks later, at the English court, everyone was talking about Scotland. People were thinking about the possibility of war, a war with Scotland. There were lots of rumours, but it was difficult to know what was true and what was not. One afternoon, Malcom was walking in the gardens, when Macduff came to join him.Malcom was not sure about Macduff. Was he honest? Was he still loyal in Macbeth? Could he trust him? The news from Scotland gets worse and worse, said Malcom to his companion.
-Yes, it seems there are new widows and new orphans every day . Macbeth is truly a tyrant.
-I agree, Macbeth is a tyrant. But, Macduff, there is something I dont understand. Why did you leave your wife and children? Why did you leave them in Scotland to come here ?Are you still Macbeth s loyal servant ? I cant understand it. We all loved Macbeth once, Some people are still loyal to him, Are you still loyal to him?
-No, I am not a traitor to Scotland. You are the true King of Scotland. It is what good King Duncan wanted.
-No, I know. Macbeth s the traitor, I think I see that now.
Macduff was silent. He was thinking about his wife and children at home in the castle in Fife.-Oh Scotland! -Macbeth is evil! said Macduff sadly. He is the worst King in the history of Scotland. He is a Tyrant, not a King. Your father was a true King and your mother was a true Queen.
Malcom began to realice that Macduff was a true, true friend.- I have asked King Edward of England for an army, he said.-I want to take this army to Scotland to defeat Macbeth. Will you come with me'?
-Yes, said Macduff. I must come with you. My wife and my children are still there. They are safe in my castle, but danger is all around them. I must return. I will come with you to help you sabe Scotland.
-Yes. we must save Scotland from this terrible tyrant Macbeth-
The two men talked and began to make plans. They were determined to go back to Scotland with an English army, to fight against Macbeth. Macduff wanted Malcom to be King, after all, he was the true heir to Duncan.
As they were talking, Lord Ross arrived at the English court. He asked for Macduff or Malcom and some servants took him to the gardens.
-Ross!Macduff and Malcom ran to meet him.
-Welcome, welcome Malcom do you know Ross ?said Macduff.
-Not well, but you are welcome here. We need brave thanes to fight against Macbeth, replied Malcom.
-What s the news from Scotland?said Macduff anxiously.
The news is worse tan ever, Ross s voice was heavy. The news is bad for you, Macduff. The King sent soldiers to your castle.
-My wife! tell me that my wife is well!
-She is dead, my friend.
-My children? Macduff s voice was quiet.
-Dead, And all your servants, Everyone they could find.
-All my pretty ones ? My wife and children too ?
-Courage, said Ross. Have courage, Turn your sadness to anger. Let anger rule your heart.
-My Lord Macduff, I am sorry, I don t know what to say, Malcom s voice was sad.
-That s because you don t have any children.
-That is true, but I have Courage. We need to have courage, we need to have strenght. I have them both and I know you have them both. We will march on Scotland and we will kill Macbeth.
.No, I will, said Macduff, I ll kill Macbeth. I ll kill him with my own sword.
-Yes, it seems there are new widows and new orphans every day . Macbeth is truly a tyrant.
-I agree, Macbeth is a tyrant. But, Macduff, there is something I dont understand. Why did you leave your wife and children? Why did you leave them in Scotland to come here ?Are you still Macbeth s loyal servant ? I cant understand it. We all loved Macbeth once, Some people are still loyal to him, Are you still loyal to him?
-No, I am not a traitor to Scotland. You are the true King of Scotland. It is what good King Duncan wanted.
-No, I know. Macbeth s the traitor, I think I see that now.
Macduff was silent. He was thinking about his wife and children at home in the castle in Fife.-Oh Scotland! -Macbeth is evil! said Macduff sadly. He is the worst King in the history of Scotland. He is a Tyrant, not a King. Your father was a true King and your mother was a true Queen.
