Fall of Macbeth Act V
Servants! peasants! Slaves! they all make me sick. How dare them bring me false reports of Malcolm's army against Scotland? True or false, they are all still born of a woman! I can't even imagine that i felt the slightest pain on my wife's passing. The doctor could diagnose her or some strong medicine to relieve her of her insanity. Who cares? she was to die any way. It's all true about the woods... i can see miles away that the woods have crossed their way to Dunsinane. I'm not a coward and i shall fight. I can not deny that that is set clearly before my eyes. It's indeed the army of England. I kill them- they are all born of a woman, though i have doubts about the weird sisters. I'll face them and see who is the real man, there is Macduff, he shall be the second on my kill-list. I'm a man and shall die like a man if need be, running leaves me no legal. If this is the last day i live to see then let it be but there is no turning back.

I have almost no doubt that this is what Macbeth would have had running through his mind. He was thinking about his wife's recent demise, the doctor's worry about her mental health, he was thinking about the weird sisters and their prophesies, the moving Birnum woods, Macduff leading the army and of course a final glimpse at the man of valor that we had almost forgotten at the beginning of the play.
