Macbeth Act VI
Scene 1
(An Open Place)
Witch One: How good and bad a death shall be undone
A chance once more a king shall have to behold the sun.
Witch Two: But as a ghost he'll roam and run.
Witch Three: To repay his debt and have his wish done.
Witch One: Happy is he?
Witch two: The glory and gloom will come to be!
Witch One: Honor and pain
Witch Three: Oh yes, truth and vain
All Witches: Three nights and days,
Trees are dark along our ways
When he shall rize in pain
He will have honour and vain
For Fair is foul and foul is fair
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
Exeunt.
Scene 2
(The pearly Gates and later the throne of God.)
Macbeth converses with fellow people in the line of people waiting to enter the Pearly Gates.
Macbeth: Hark! The sight, 'tis quite a fright.
Companion 1: Surrounded, we are by truth and light?
Macbeth: Waiting to be judged we are!
Companion 2: In my days I was a man of god. And you happy man?
Macbeth: I was than and then a king!
Corrupted by my wife, I fell from faith in god.
Man at the Gates: McDougle enter thou through the gates for judgement.
Companion 1 arizes and walks through the gate.
Companion 1: Fairwell, fairwell, in heaven or hell, I hope we meet again!
Man at the Gates: Enter thou, Macbeth!
Macbeth: Fairwell, I dout that we shall see each other again, man of god.
Companion 2: I pray that god shall have mercy upon you.
Macbeth enters the gates to behold the throne of god.
Man at the Gates: This way! Follow thou me.
Macbeth: Is this god I see before me?
Man at the Gates: That which thou thinkest thou doest see, thou dost not imagine. Therefore, it
is what thou hast thought. God is on his throne and he waits to judge thee. Enter thou his court, and I shall depart from thee.
Macbeth walks up to the court of his god, he sees companion 1 being carried out in chains and crying.
Macbeth: Runs onto the court Forgive thou me, I pray thee.
God: Who art thou , that I should know thee?
Macbeth: I can hear the coldness of thy voice. Wherefore dost thou not know my name?
God: Tell me the the courses of thy days, and I will tell thee how I never knew thee.
Macbeth: Well, I was once a follower of thee. Thou shouldst have known me then!
God: Wherefore proferest thou thy erundition unto me, when 'tis I who should offer it to thee?
Yes, Once I knew thee, but thou hast forgotten me, and art counted as thou never knew me.
Macbeth: Couldst thou give me another chance?
God: Let us review thy life, and then we shall decide wether thou canst have one.
Macbeth: Well, my lord, I was once a man of honor. I fought for all that was good and right. I was thane of Cawdor. My duty, I did. I was upright and a good man, though I was full of ambition. Three sister, nasty ones that they are, tricked me. They had told me that I would be the king. I bought their story, and I became theking. I murdered many people in the process of trying to maintain my kingdom,but in the end this made me loose my kindgom. My wife, the one who put this all upon me, made me do it! It 'twas those sisters, also!
God: Well, Macbeth, I have a mission here for you!
Macbeth: What? Will it free me from my punishment?
God: No! Thou must accept that thy punishment is final, but there is something that thou mustlearn. As thou dost return to the world of the living, thou must remember that it is thy job to find out who's fault this really was. Thou canst not rest until thou has adequately
answered this for me.
Guard 1: Here I am to bring Macbeth to his reward. To where is this man destined?
God: He doth need to learn what he hath done. He hath been sent to return to learn one thing such that he can tell us that he knows who is responsible for his actions.
Guard 2: Very well. 'Tis now time!
God: Yes.
Guard Carry out Macbeth to the sound of a trumpet.

Macbeth: Sisters, 'twas quite a voyage for us, ye and me.
Wherefore have ye braught me hence?
Witch 1: This your last day here on earth.
What do you think it hast been worth?
Macbeth: Much, much more that anything I can dictate.
Witch 2: Remeberest thou the sweetness of thy corination?
Or the redness of a carnation?
Macbeth: Yea, I remeber weel the day of my corination!
'Twas my happiest and my worst.
My grandest and my downfall.
My glory and my gloom.
Witch 3: Watch and learn. A true king this man shall be!
Rememberest thou how thou wast at first? This king shalt be
Must like thou was then, before thy coruption.
Knowest thou now thy distruction?
Thou canst no longer blame us nor thy wife!
Macbeth: Thou are wise and I am as well, but also foolish.
I do not wish to have the blame, but
Somehow I know deep down that it is mine.
The events that occured were from my choices.
Had I not chosen so I still might have become the king?
I do not know, but this I do know!
I was my own down fall.
Aside I see the one who now is king.
With joy and laughter they all do sing.
This I know I canst not have.
All Witches: Now thou canst return to thy maker and tell him
What thou has learned, to him.
Make thou haste.
Leave thou now and take nothing chaste.
Die thou shalt not, but die thou wilt not again.
Macbeth: Yes I saw, by helping that young boy, little Fleance, that I am responsible.
I warned him not to fall captive to this flaw that I have fallen.
I not only found that I am the only one to blame
But I helped another not to fall in my ways.
I do not know what this will do for me
But I know this I am back to my old self
An I have helped another not to have the same downfall as I.
Witches Voices Fade. Repeating the All Witches line.
