Submitted by bertie on Sun, 03/17/2002 - 04:15This scene takes place in a room in Dunsinane Castle, Scotland. The characters are a gentlewoman (one of Lady Macbeth's personal attendants), a physician, and Lady Macbeth, now Queen of Scotland. Earlier in the play Lady Macbeth has persuaded her husband, a successful soldier, to murder King Duncan while he was a guest at their castle. Since then Macbeth has become king and tyrant, murdering his friend Banquo and the wife and young son of MacDuff, Lord of Fife. The scene shows how Lady Macbeth's conscience and fear are preying on her mind.
