 ______________________________________________________

Act 1, Scene 2

You can hear trumpets and soldiers fighting offstage. KING DUNCAN, his sons MALCOLM and DONALBAIN, LENNOX and some other attendants enter. They all meet a wounded and bloody captain.

DUNCAN

Who is this bloody man? From his appearance, I bet he has the latest news on the battle.

MALCOLM

This is the brave sergeant who fought to save my life. Hail brave friend. Tell the king what you saw before leaving the battle.

CAPTAIN

For a while, it was not visible who was going to come out a winner. It was like two exhausted swimmers clinging together while struggling in the water. There was an army of soldiers from Ireland and the Hebrides around the villain Macdonwald. Fortune was with him that day, simling cruelly at everyone as if it were his who. However, luck was not enough for Macdonwald. Brave Macbeth laughed at Macdonwald’s fortune, and killed him before he say farewell, and stuck his head on the castles walls.

DUNCAN

Oh my brave cousin! What a worthy gentlemen you are!

CAPTAIN

But at the same time the storms always approach when spring arrives, our victory against Macdonwald purposed many problems for us. Hear me out, when the Irish went running for cover the Norwegians saw a chance to take advantage of us with their full army and brand new weapons.

DUNCAN

Did this not impose terror among our two captains, Macbeth and Banquo?

CAPTAIN

Not at all, they took this attack as a personal challange. They fought twice as hard as they did against the Irish. It was as if they wanted to take a bath in enemy blood and make their victory infamous. I now feel weak and my injuries need to be healed immediately.

DUNCAN

What you said is honourable, give him our best surgeons.

The Captain exits accompanied by his attendants.

Ross and Angus enter.

DUNCAN

Who goes there?

MALCOLM

This, my King, is the honourable Thane of Ross.

LENNOX

His eyes seem to be shocked. He looks to have an unusual story to tell.

ROSS

God save the king!

DUNCAN

Thane of Ross, where do you hail from?

ROSS

I have ventured from Fife kine, where the Norwegian flag is hung high, taunting our country and making fun of our people. Lead and assisted by the traitor, thane of Cawdor, a massive army began a battle with the king of Norway. Macbeth arrived, wearing his weathered armour; he met the Norwegians head on head, like a warrior prince. In the end, he shattered the spirits of the Norwegians and was victorious.

DUNCAN

That is great news! I am ever so happy.

ROSS

Now that he has been defeated, Sweno the Norwegian king wants to sign a treaty. Our armies will not even let him bury his men without him leaving to Saint Colme’s Inch, and giving us ten thousand dollars.

DUNCAN

The Thane of Cawdor will never again betray me, send men to have him executed and tell macbeth that he is now the thane of Cawdor.

ROSS

It will be done immediately.

DUNCAN

What Macbeth has now gained, the thane of Cawdor has now lost.

They all exit.
