LADY MACBETH
Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of
Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!
DOCTOR
What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.
GENTLEWOMAN
I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the
dignity of the whole body.
DOCTOR
This disease is beyond my practice. Yet I have
known those which have walked in their sleep who
have died holily in their beds.
LADY MACBETH
To bed, to bed. There's knocking at the gate. Come,
come, come, come. Give me your hand. What's done
cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!
DOCTOR
Foul whisp'rings are abroad. Unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
More needs she the divine than the physician.
Question 1 (1 point)
What has the doctor learned from his observations of Lady Macbeth? (ELA.10.R.1.2)
Question 1 options:
Nothing can be done and Lady Macbeth is beyond hope.
She needs a priest and not a doctor to cure her ills.
The knocking she believes caused by Banquo can be healed with better, more restful sleep.
Hallucinations of blood on her hands will go away with help from the Gentlewoman.
