Macbeth
Reeves Surgner
Verse 1: Macbeth was content as the thane of Glamis
But then he met the three weird sisters
“Hail to thee thane of Cawdor... Thou shalt be king hereafter” (1.III.48-50)
Their prediction would keep plaguing macbeth.
Bridge 1: From the thane of Glamis, to the thane of Cawdor, he shalt be king hereafter
His wife told him to kill old duncan, Macbeth would not live forever after
Chorus: It started with the witches … predicions
then his wife said “Was hope drunk wherin you dressed yourself?” (1.VII. 35-6)
She called him a coward and he did not like it
he killed Old Duncan and would Regret it
Verse 2: And now Macbeth, is the king of Scotland
But Malcolm and Macduff have fled
To England to amass an army, to take back what is theirs
He cannot die unless by a “man of a woman’s born” (5.VII.13)
Bridge 2: By now the robes of his title “Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe
Upon a dwarfish thief” (5.II.23-24)
And even when, he loses his head he will never, ever weep
Chorus: It started with the witches … predicions
then his wife said “Was hope drunk wherin you dressed yourself?” (1.VII. 35-6)
She called him a coward and he did not like it
he killed Old Duncan and would Regret it
Verse 3: The robes of his title, became too big for him
and eventually they were taken away
By Macduff in his rage that Macbeth killed his family
And at the end Malcolm gained reign
Bridge 3: Fair is foul and foul is fair
and the robes are important too
these are the things that happen
again and again
Chorus: It started with the witches … predicions
then his wife said “Was hope drunk wherin you dressed yourself?” (1.VII. 35-6)
She called him a coward and he did not like it
he killed Old Duncan and would Regret it
