Macbeth Act V Active Notes

Scene 1
The doctor and a gentlewoman overhear Lady Macbeth confess to killing the king, and they are shocked because no one should have found out. Lady Macbeth did this in her sleep and sleepwalking.

Scene 2
Malcolm's army is drawing near and Menteith, Caithness, Angus, Lennox, and soldiers are going to join Malcolm because at this point, everyone hates Macbeth, the tyrannt. They intend to take down Macbeth along with Malcolm.

Scene 3
Meanwhile in the castle, things are chaotic because war is upon them. Macbeth refuses fear and prepares to fight the thousands of soldiers.

Scene 4
Nothing really critical happened here. A soldier, Malcolm, Menteith, Siward, and Macduff are just discussing what to do and they end up advancing their army forward.

Scene 5
Macbeth is basically doing some sort of siege on the advancing enemy. "Till famine and the ague eat them up"
The Queen died. (assuming murder, but so far unknown cause of death)

Scene 6
Malcolm has made it to the castle and is basically saying "CHARGE!!!"

Scene 7
A young Siward comes in and gets himself killed by Macbeth. Siward called him a tyrannt.
In the next scene... *drumroll* Malcolm vs. Macbeth!

Scene 8
Macduff tells Macbeth to stop the fighting but Macbeth refuses because if he does then Macduff will just make Macbeth into a freak show.
Thus, Macbeth hath been slain
Macduff cuts off the head of Macbeth and celebrates in victory as the evil tyrant is dead.
