Entry 3.2 Macbeth Video

     Since my previous post had to do with Lady Macbeth, I decided to stay on her for my video.  I saw another video with Judi Dench that was definitely a better performance however, it was a bit longer and this one is easier to understand.  This video shows Lady Macbeth sleepwalking and sleep-talking while a gentlewoman and a doctor observe her doing so.  What I found interesting is that the gentlelady explains to the doctor what Lady Macbeth has been doing however, refuses to repeat the words she speaks.  After the doctor hears Lady Macbeth speak, he too cannot repeat those words.
     Lady Macbeth again is representing a temptress archetype who is obviously ridden with guilt.  Her unconcsiousness will not let her rest in sleepwalking every night and pretending to "wash her hands" which is symbolic of needing to be cleaned of wrong doing.  She mentions that she can still smell the "blood" of their wrong doing and that "all of the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten these hands." She also "demands" to have a light (candle) on by her every night, which makes me think that she is afraid of something - possibly being caught of their wrong doings?   On the same note, she feels the need to protect Macbeth at the end of the scene, where she is pushing an imaginary version of him to bed in order for him to be out of sight.  I admire that Shakesphere could somehow show the psychological implications of guilt through a person's subconscious can bleed through when he was not living in psychological times.
