Macbeth // Wiktor Sadowski

"We hear of a battle that is even now being fought, we hear of the trysting-place of the witches at the conclusion of the fray, and last of all we hear the name of the man they are planning to meet. No sooner has the name "Macbeth" been uttered than the calls of the attendant spirits are heard and the witches hurry off. The action of the scene is over with the naming of the man against whose soul these ministers of darkness are plotting."  

Macbeth









The ingredients used for the witch’s brew in Shakespeare’s Macbeth were likely just traditional herbs going by other names, intended to intimidate the masses. For example,
Eye of Newt:  Mustard Seed                                                                 Toe of Frog:  ButtercupWool of Bat:  Holly LeavesTongue of Dog:  HoundstongueAdders Fork:  Adders tongueLizard Leg:  Ivy
A Hawk’s Heart: WormwoodAss’s Foot or Bull’s Foot:  ColtsfootBear’s Foot: Lady’s MantleCalf’s Snout: SnapdragonGraveyard Dust: MulleinSparrow’s Tongue: Knotweed



2nd Witch:
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
Macbeth (IV, i, 14-15)
This line, uttered by the three ugly witches in Macbeth as they stir their boiling cauldron, is one of the most familiar phrases associated with traditional witchcraft. It is the infamous recipe for spell-casting, curse-inducing witchery. People believed in witches in Shakespeare's time, and thought of them as powerful practitioners of evil. Yet while these witches in Macbeth did possess the ability to conjure up spirits, they did not really control Macbeth but rather tricked him into acting in certain ways. Having correctly predicted he would be king, they now produce ghosts who allow him to conclude that he will not be killed by anyone. These ghosts have been called into our world by the use of the infamous recipe given above, which continues with "adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, lizard's leg and owlet's wing," and an assortment of other colorful ingredients.

ACT V SCENE IV Country near Burnam wood.
[ Drum and colours. Enter MALCOLM, SIWARD and YOUNG SIWARD, MACDUFF, MENTEITH, CAITHNESS, ANGUS, LENNOX, ROSS, and Soldiers, marching ]
MALCOLMCousins, I hope the days are near at hand

That chambers will be safe.
MENTEITHWe doubt it nothing.
SIWARDWhat wood is this before us?
MENTEITHThe wood of Birnam.
MALCOLMLet every soldier hew him down a bough

And bear't before him: thereby shall we shadow

The numbers of our host and make discovery

Err in report of us.
SoldiersIt shall be done.
SIWARDWe learn no other but the confident tyrant

Keeps still in Dunsinane, and will endure

Our setting down before 't.
MALCOLM'Tis his main hope:10

For where there is advantage to be given,

Both more and less have given him the revolt,

And none serve with him but constrained things

Whose hearts are absent too.
MACDUFFLet our just censures

Attend the true event, and put we on

Industrious soldiership.
SIWARDThe time approaches

That will with due decision make us know

What we shall say we have and what we owe.

Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,

But certain issue strokes must arbitrate:20

Towards which advance the war.
[Exeunt, marching]

Explanatory Notes for Act 5, Scene 4
From Macbeth. Ed. Thomas Marc Parrott. New York: American Book Co.
(Line numbers have been altered.)
__________

This scene presents the union of the English forces with the Scottish lords near Birnam wood. Malcolm's order to the soldiers to cut down boughs in order to conceal the numbers of the army, points to the fulfilment of the witches' prophecy.

1. Cousins, kinsmen.

2. chambers, private rooms. Malcolm is thinking of the murder of Duncan in his bedchamber.

6. discovery, reconnaissance.

7. in report of us, in the report carried back concerning us.

8. but, but that.

9. keeps still, remains.

9, 10. endure ... before, stand a siege there.

11. advantage to be given, where an opportunity, i.e. to desert, has to be given them. If Macbeth led his army into the field, he would necessarily give the discontented spirits a better chance to desert than if he remained in his castle.

12. more and less, great and small.

14, 15. Let ... event, let our true opinion await the actual event. Macduff is not so sure that all Macbeth's soldiers are ready to desert. His next words show that he thinks the battle will demand all their efforts; "put on industrious soldiership" means "play the part of good soldiers." Siward carries on the idea in the next speech; "whatever we may fancy our hopes to be, blows alone will settle the matter."

"In 1731 the situation grew so grave, with daring Maroons actually mounting formal assaults on sugar plantations, that the white planters decided on a drastic counterattack, and launched a major campaign against the mountain robbers. Each plantation was required to contribute arms, money and especially white men or trusted blacks to a militia formed to chastise the renegades. As expected, the distinguished Trevelyan Plantation north of the capital, Spanish Town, contributed many arms, much ammunition and a captain for the force, Sir Hugh Pembroke. He was forty-six that year, military in bearing, his slim form showing to good advantage in the uniform of an English regiment. A descendant of that bold young Officer Pembroke who had suggested to Admiral Penn in 1655 ‘Since the Spanish have thrown us out of Hispaniola, why don’t we throw them out of Jamaica?’—thus adding this fine island to the empire—Sir Hugh loved politics and was an important member of Parliament in London."~~~James A.

“koan”: “What is the sound of one hand clapping?
In Zen Buddhism, a brief paradoxical statement or question used as a discipline in meditation. The effort to solve a koan is designed to exhaust the analytic intellect and the will, leaving the mind open for response on an intuitive level. There are about 1,700 traditional koans, which are based on anecdotes from ancient Zen masters. They include the well-known example When both hands are clapped a sound is produced; listen to the sound of one hand clapping.

Macbeth Glossary
graymalkin

First Witch I come, graymalkin! (1.1.10)
i.e., an affectionate name for a gray cat.
During the Renaissance it was believed that Satan sent witches malicious spirits to help them carry out their evil deeds. These 'familiars' or 'imps' would appear in animal form. The familiar of the First Witch takes the form of a cat and the familiar of the Second Witch takes the form of a toad (Paddock). The familiar of the Third Witch is not mentioned in the first act but in 4.1, it takes the form of a 'harpy', a nasty creature in Greek mythology with the head and body of a woman and the talons of a bird.
