5.1
1. List Lady Macbeth's actions in this scene

2. In what ways is this scene linked to Lady Macbeth's unsex me speech from 1.5?

5.3
3. Read Macbeth's speech which begins with : I am sick at heart...
a. why is he disillusioned?
b. in the scene as a whole, in what ways is he still placing his faith in the witches?

5.5
4. Read Macbeth's speech in response to Lady Macbeth's death.
a. what is he saying about life?
b. what does his final speech in this scene suggest about his state of mind and his belief in the witches?

5.8
5. Macbeth, finally denying his belief in the witches, fights and dies with valiant fury. To what extent do you see his death as being heroic?
