Section A: Shakespeare
Answer one question from this section on your chosen text.
Either
01 Macbeth
Read the following extract from Act 5 Scene 3 of Macbeth and then answer the
question that follows.
At this point in the play, Macbeth hears that the English army is approaching and asks the
Doctor for a report about Lady Macbeth.
MACBETH Seyton! – I am sick at heart,
When I behold – Seyton, I say! – this push
Will cheer me ever or disseat me now.
I have lived long enough. My way of life
5 Is fall’n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age, As
honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath
10 Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.
Seyton!
Enter SEYTON
SEYTON What’s your gracious pleasure?
MACBETH What news more?
15 SEYTON All is confirmed, my lord, which was reported.
MACBETH I’ll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked.
Give me my armour.
SEYTON ’Tis not needed yet.
MACBETH I’ll put it on;
20 Send out more horses; skirr the country round.
Hang those that talk of fear. Give me mine
armour. How does your patient, doctor?
DOCTOR Not so sick, my lord, As she is troubled
with thick-coming fancies
25 That keep her from her rest.
MACBETH Cure her of that.
Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
30 And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?
