Lady Macduff Monologue from Macbeth

From Macbeth by William Shakespeare

female · anguished · 1:03 min

What had he done, to make him fly the land? (ROSS: You must have patience, madam.) He had none: His flight was madness: when our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors. (ROSS: You know not Whether it was his wisdom or his fear.) Wisdom! to leave his wife, to leave his babes, His mansion, and his titles, in a place From whence himself does fly? He loves us not: He wants the natural touch; for the poor wren, The most diminutive of birds, will fight, Her young ones in her nest, against the owl. All is the fear, and nothing is the love; As little is the wisdom, where the flight So runs against all reason.
