Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. In this scene, Macbeth has sent the murderers after Banquo, his former best friend. Lady Macbeth can tell that something is afoot, but Macbeth refuses to explain except in riddles.[Macbeth.] Come, seeling night,Scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day,And with thy bloody and invisible handCancel and tear to pieces that great bondWhich keeps me pale!
