Macbeth and Julius Caesar: An Introduction to Shakespeare in Verse

by Roy Lancaster

Overview

Macbeth, with the murder on his mind, has a vision.
“Is this a dagger I can see… see but cannot touch?
The hilt is turned toward my hand, but still… I cannot clutch.
It is a dagger… of the mind to lead me to his room
Although unreal, it’s like the one I draw to seal his doom.”
He draws his dagger.
“I must move soft, that no one hears my footsteps on the stone
In silence then I make my way, my presence never known…”
A bell rings.
“The signal sounds, the time has come for Duncan… it’s a knell
I go… it’s done, I send him now to heaven, or… to hell.”
He enters the room.
End of Scene 1
