Scene 3 starts off with defiance from Macbeth when he says "Bring me no more reports: let them fly all:. ... We now get a feeling of sadness for Macbeth, as his whole world has collapsed, and he has nothing to believe in except for some dodgy prophecies. ... " This quote from Macbeth is quite powerful, and finaly shows us what a strong character he really is. ... Macbeth tells the servant that his fear is making others scared, and Macbeth even says, "What soldiers, patch? ...
Shakespeare then uses powerful imagery, just to further enhance the feeling of strength and defiance that we get from Macbeth, when he says, "till my bones my flesh be hacked." He is now very positive about life again, and this is shown when he tells his doctor to "cure her of that," reffering to Lady Macbeth, when he has been told that she has a disease in which she is "troubled with thick coming fancies. ... Macbeth then puts his armour on, and decides that it is time for action. ... This tells us that although he has told the doctor to administer medicine, he is still very worried about his wife, Lady Macbeth. Macbeth here seems to have a very unstable mind, changing between moods of happiness and defiance to sadness and defeat. ... His mood swings are important because they show that deep down Macbeth knows that he is beaten, and that he has no more friends. ...
Macbeth starts scene 5 in the same manner as before, very confident of a victory. ... " These two quotes show that Macbeth is confident, but the last one, meaning that the opposition has been reinforced with his own men, we can sense a feeling of bitterness, that Macbeth is all alone, and his side has deserted him. ... He then starts talking about the amount of horrifying thoughts that he has stored in his head, and it is then we get the feeling that Macbeth has been thinking about the killing of Duncan all the time. ... If I was directing this scene, I would make Macbeth talk in a low and tearful voice, so that it can contrast heavily with the optimism and hope that there was in his voice before. ... "
This line from Seyton, judging by Macbeths mood swings, would almost certainly place Macbeth in to the bottom of depression, and does so when in his next speech, he reflects on the pointlessness of life.
