Macbeth Act V Reading Notes

A doctor and a woman talk of how Lady Macbeth seems to sleepwalk a lot.  She happens to appear (how original Shakespeare) and walks across the room.  She mumbles of how she can't get the blood off her hands.  Outside the castle, lords begin making battle plans against Macbeth.  Their armies are to join together to help take down the tyrant.  Macbeth is too cocky to believe his downfall is about to take place.  Everything is in chaos as the armies approach.  Lady Macbeth dies, putting Macbeth into a shock.  He realizes that he is going down, and plans to go down fighting.  The army reaches the castle.  Macbeth is a WAR HERO! No fool can take him down.  He begins to strike down all the soldiers around him.  Macduff searches for Macbeth.  He has a point to settle.  Malcolm and Siward manage to make it in the castle.  Macbeth and Macduff meet.  [Insert Epic Sword Fight].  Macbeth dies.  Malcolm becomes king.  Everyone is happy.
