Macbeth Monologue

From Macbeth by William Shakespeare

male · dark · 1:19 min

It will have blood, they say, blood will have blood. Stones have been known to move, and trees to speak; Augurs, and understood relations, have By magot-pies, and choughs, and rooks, brought forth The secret’st man of blood.—What is the night? (LADY MACBETH: Almost at odds with morning, which is which.) How say’st thou, that Macduff denies his person At our great bidding? (LADY MACBETH: Did you send to him, sir?) I hear it by the way; but I will send. There’s not a one of them but in his house I keep a servant fee’d. I will tomorrow (And betimes I will) to the Weird Sisters: More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know, By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way: I am in blood Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er. Strange things I have in head, that will to hand, Which must be acted ere they may be scann’d.
