Act V Scene I Modern Language Translation
MENTEITH:
The English power is near, led on by Malcolm, His uncle
Siward, and the good Macduff. Revenges burn in them, because their dear causes
Would excite a dead man To the flowing of blood and the grim alarm.
ANGUS:
We’ll meet them near Birnam wood They are coming that way.
CAITHNESS:
Does any one know if Donalbain be with his brother?
LENNOX:
For certain, sir, he isn’t. I have a list Of all the gentry.
There is Siward's son
And many youths without beards which now
Affirm they are beginning manhood.
MENTEITH:
What is the tyrant doing?
CAITHNESS:
He strongly fortifies great Dunsinane. Some say he's crazy;
others, that hate him less, Call it valiant fury. But, for certain, He cannot
contained his sick government Through control.
ANGUS:
Now he feels His secret murders sticking on his hands. Now the
revolts in every minute reproaches his breach of faith. Those he commands move
only because it’s a command, Not because they love him. Now he feels his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe Upon a dwarfish thief.
MENTEITH:
Who, then, shall blame him when His own vexed senses begin to
recoil and attack, When all that is within him revolts against him?
CAITHNESS:
Well, we march on, To give obedience where it is truly owed.
We give out the medicine for the sickly commonwealth, And with him we pour, into
our country's purge, Each drop of us.
LENNOX:
Or so much as it needs, To revive the flower of royalty and
drown the weeds. We march towards Birnam.
Predetermined Fate
I agree, because God put us here in the situations that are happening to us to test if we could do it or not. We are the ones who choose our own choice but God is the one who chooses the right choice towards a better future.
Eye for an Eye
I agree, but then again I don't because two wrongs don't make a right. If someone kills someone else's newborn, it is not morally right for them to go over to his innocent newborn baby and kill it too. He did something wrong, and it is true that he must be held responsible for that action, and there must be consequences of some sort. However, the answer is not to go over to his newborn and kill it too. That would make you just as evil and wrong as he was. Then somebody would have to do it back to you. Then you to him. It would be a never ending cycle of violence. It's an absurd moral philosophy. It's a ancient belief of justice and fairness.
