00:00:01
okay after the introduction scene in
00:00:03
which we were introduced to the three
00:00:05
weird sisters or the three witches now
00:00:07
we get to act one scene two of Meb in
00:00:11
which we are introduced to the other
00:00:12
principal characters mainly King Duncan
00:00:15
and his sons and other uh noblemen of
00:00:18
Scotland also one particular injured
00:00:21
Sergeant or Captain both names are
00:00:23
mentioned um in different editions now U
00:00:27
this is taking place a camp near FS uh
00:00:30
the way it's pronounced is almost as if
00:00:32
the spelling would be f a u z i mean
00:00:35
that's how the pronunciation is made now
00:00:38
uh this is one of the oldest towns in
00:00:40
Scotland I hope you know the geography
00:00:43
of U Europe essentially of England let
00:00:47
me just draw my drawing is not very
00:00:49
great so let me put that disclaimer
00:00:51
right at the beginning so it's something
00:00:54
like you know if this is England
00:00:56
Scotland is the northern part okay so
00:00:59
for would be somewhere around here on
00:01:01
the West in the western part of Scotland
00:01:05
that's where Duncan King Duncan's Castle
00:01:07
is located okay and um it's also the
00:01:10
location of the first battle where meth
00:01:13
killed me Donald okay um now you hear
00:01:18
this word alarum a l a r u m uh now uh
00:01:23
this is the AR the old term English term
00:01:26
for Alam in this case it's essentially
00:01:29
refering into some kind of trumpets you
00:01:32
have Duncan Malcolm Malcolm who is his
00:01:34
son donalan who is his son then you have
00:01:37
lenux with attendance meeting a bleeding
00:01:39
captain now in some editions as I said
00:01:42
some old Edition this in fact is an old
00:01:44
Edition there is it is used as Captain
00:01:47
in some of the newer editions it is
00:01:48
mentioned as sergeant both are okay you
00:01:51
can go with Sergeant absolutely no
00:01:53
issues with that okay now a sergeant was
00:01:56
a high ranking soldier in those days uh
00:02:00
now what is really the significance
00:02:02
before we get into the line by line
00:02:04
explanation what is really the
00:02:06
significance of that bleeding Sergeant
00:02:08
or captain in this particular scene one
00:02:12
he represents the violent blood imagery
00:02:16
which is a very prevalent theme as far
00:02:18
as meth is concerned so right from the
00:02:21
outside the first scene if you remember
00:02:23
there was thunder and lightning there
00:02:25
was talk of meeting on the heat there
00:02:26
was talk of War Etc so there was a sense
00:02:29
of E
00:02:30
right something very strange you know
00:02:32
you're not comfortable with that kind of
00:02:34
a situation in scene two you have this
00:02:37
bleeding Sergeant who is talking about
00:02:40
what happened in that particular battle
00:02:42
so the blood and violent imagery he
00:02:45
reinforces he's like the visual
00:02:48
representation of that violent and blood
00:02:51
imagery um
00:02:53
also by talking about all this before
00:02:56
mbth is introduced in act one scene 3
00:02:58
you are kind of setting the mood for to
00:03:01
for what to expect in this particular
00:03:04
play by the time mbth arrives on the
00:03:07
scene uh so that's something to prepare
00:03:09
both the audience and the reader for uh
00:03:12
so the the sight of the injured and the
00:03:15
blood blood soaked Sergeant uh he
00:03:18
represents what he represents disruption
00:03:20
just like the witches to an extent the
00:03:22
witches are much more negative and toxic
00:03:25
uh the sergeant represents the chaos and
00:03:28
the Bloodshed of the battle in Scotland
00:03:32
uh now Malcolm and Donal bin are the
00:03:33
sons of uh King Duncan as I said and
00:03:36
denox is a nobleman of Scotland so uh
00:03:39
Duncan starts by saying dun means Duncan
00:03:42
what bloody man is that you know he's
00:03:44
obviously referring to the blood on his
00:03:47
body and his face he can report as Seth
00:03:49
by Spight of the Revolt the newest State
00:03:53
now the newest state state does not mean
00:03:55
a physical geographical area he's
00:03:59
essentially saying that from his
00:04:01
condition it seems from his condition as
00:04:04
Seth by his plight plight as in
00:04:06
condition by his condition it seems that
00:04:09
he can tell us about the latest news the
00:04:12
newest State the latest news about the
00:04:15
Revolt because there is this macdon wal
00:04:18
who has revolted against King Duncan's
00:04:21
Scotland Kingdom so he wants to know
00:04:24
what is the latest news and he wants to
00:04:26
hear it from the injured Sergeant okay
00:04:30
Malcolm this is the sergeant who like a
00:04:32
good and Hardy Soldier fought so Malcolm
00:04:35
is introducing Sant and telling who is
00:04:39
not named uh the sergeant and he's
00:04:41
telling his father the king he says this
00:04:43
is the sergeant who fought like a good
00:04:45
and tough Hardy means
00:04:50
tough like a good and tough soldier in
00:04:53
order to prevent me from getting
00:04:55
captured okay let's move forward
00:05:04
sorry H it's a little slow so please
00:05:07
bear with it and in case you will have
00:05:09
your books with you okay so he says um
00:05:12
who fought against my to ensure that I
00:05:16
did not get captured okay captivity
00:05:19
means again so it means that Malcolm was
00:05:21
also part of the battle he would have
00:05:24
got captured but for the presence of
00:05:26
this particular Sergeant or Captain who
00:05:28
ensured that the son of King dunar did
00:05:31
not get captured because if he had got
00:05:33
captured they could have used that as a
00:05:35
pawn in order to extract maximum U you
00:05:38
know whatever goodies they wanted from
00:05:40
King Duncan you know kidnap AB you can
00:05:43
actually demand whatever you want so he
00:05:45
says he essentially ensured that I did
00:05:48
not and he actually saved me so now
00:05:50
Malcolm talks to the uh Sant he refers
00:05:54
to him as Brave friend important say to
00:05:58
the king the knowledge of the Ro as thou
00:06:00
did leave it now bro means battle
00:06:07
okay battle so he says please inform
00:06:11
King Duncan about whatever you know
00:06:13
about what was happening on the
00:06:15
battlefield in that particular battle
00:06:17
till the moment you left it why because
00:06:19
of serious injuries because of injuries
00:06:22
you have to leave it so please inform
00:06:24
King Duncan what happened till that
00:06:26
precise moment when you left the
00:06:28
battlefield now the Sergeant Speaks now
00:06:31
you see here it is written cap but
00:06:32
earlier he has been referred to as a
00:06:34
sergeant which is why I said both words
00:06:36
can be used uh doubtful it stood as two
00:06:40
Spence swimmers that do cling together
00:06:43
and choke their art this is an important
00:06:45
line what does it mean now Sergeant is
00:06:47
saying that the outcome was in doubt
00:06:50
outcome was in doubt doubtful it stood
00:06:53
the battle the way it was being waged it
00:06:55
was very doubtful which side would
00:06:57
actually win King Duncan's Army or the
00:07:00
rebels Army led by McDonald so he says
00:07:04
the two armies were like too exhausted
00:07:07
and tired spent means you know you say
00:07:09
no spent Force spent force is that whose
00:07:12
energy have got completely dissipated so
00:07:15
spent essentially refers to
00:07:18
tiredness okay tiredness so like two
00:07:21
exhausted and tired swimmers um and
00:07:25
drowning swimmers clinging to each other
00:07:28
making it impossible for either to stay
00:07:30
afloat so they were clinging to each
00:07:32
other it was very difficult for them to
00:07:34
stay
00:07:35
afloat okay uh so they were kind of in
00:07:38
that sense choking their art art is what
00:07:40
the art of swimming okay so he's kind of
00:07:43
describing it in a rather artistic kind
00:07:46
of manner the merciless magdon World
00:07:49
worthy to be a rebel for to that
00:07:51
multiplying villain of nature to swarm
00:07:53
upon him now what does he mean see
00:07:55
basically Shakespeare has used the
00:07:56
imagery of two swimmers who are kind of
00:07:59
you know almost embracing each other
00:08:01
clinging to each other as they struggle
00:08:03
to stay afloat okay and alive while
00:08:06
death is actually it could be a
00:08:08
possibility for both of them okay choke
00:08:11
their art essentially means that they
00:08:12
hampered each other's movement so that
00:08:14
neither could use their art or the skill
00:08:17
of swimming uh for to
00:08:20
that for to that means because of that
00:08:24
and it is really no surprise that
00:08:26
mcdonal has turned out to be a re re or
00:08:30
a traitor so he says someone as
00:08:32
merciless as McDonald McDonald is not
00:08:34
really known to be a good man so someone
00:08:37
as mercilus as McDon has turned out to
00:08:40
be a traitor so it is really no surprise
00:08:43
so because of that now what happens
00:08:45
because of that is that the merciless
00:08:48
McDon is fit to be called a rebel fine
00:08:52
now all the evils found in nature
00:08:54
multiplying villainies of nature all the
00:08:57
villainies which are found in nature
00:08:59
whatever that can be they are there in
00:09:02
McDon World okay they are attracted to
00:09:04
him they're attracted to him like a
00:09:07
swarm swarm of bees swarm of flies we
00:09:10
say right Maka jund right so swarm of
00:09:14
flies so they are attracted to him
00:09:16
almost like a swarm of flies uh to meat
00:09:20
okay to any kind of eatable in this case
00:09:23
meat okay so that is what is happening
00:09:26
uh from the hibrid is a cluster of
00:09:28
islands on the west coast of Scotland so
00:09:31
from the Western ises okay what is this
00:09:33
Western ises he's referring to one
00:09:35
particular area in Scotland uh which is
00:09:39
a cluster of islands of the West Coast
00:09:41
of Scotland okay uh the Kerns which are
00:09:44
being referred out here the ks were
00:09:46
Scottish or Irish foot soldiers who
00:09:49
essentially would carry a sword or a bow
00:09:51
arrow basically light weapons uh the
00:09:55
Gallow glass the Gallow glass that is
00:09:57
being referred to now this can all come
00:09:59
at you know one two marks or even in
00:10:01
mcqs which is why you need to know what
00:10:03
exactly they uh refer to so glass Gallow
00:10:08
glass for mercenary armored Warriors
00:10:11
mercenary means that who would kind of
00:10:13
do things for a price that is you pay
00:10:15
them some money and they would do this
00:10:17
they will come on and fight against the
00:10:20
enemy on behalf of your
00:10:22
army so in this case the gallog glass
00:10:24
they would serve as bodyguards to the
00:10:27
Irish or Scottish which is known as an
00:10:29
umbrella term as
00:10:33
Celtic it it includes both Irish as well
00:10:36
as Scotland which was also part of that
00:10:38
entire Great Britain Kingdom at one
00:10:40
point in time um so Celtic Chieftain and
00:10:43
they were handpicked for their strength
00:10:44
and massive size they would always carry
00:10:47
an ax so I mean both Kerns and Gallow
00:10:50
glass in that sense is talking about two
00:10:52
different kinds of uh Warriors U these
00:10:55
people would carry an axe these people
00:10:57
would carry small weapons these people
00:10:59
are known to be more of bodyguards
00:11:01
because of their rather Hefty size so
00:11:04
what the captain is saying is that
00:11:06
fortune on his damned Coral smiling so
00:11:09
Fortune Smiled
00:11:12
On Fortune smiled uh on magdonald Dons
00:11:16
McDonald McDonald McDon W's CA Okay and
00:11:21
like a prostitute who would kind of
00:11:23
Grant favors to her client okay where is
00:11:26
it so like a prostitute like a Rebels
00:11:29
like a means prostitute so
00:11:32
like a prostitute who would Grant favors
00:11:35
to her um fortune on her damned Coral
00:11:39
smiling showed like a Rebel's or but all
00:11:42
but all is too weak for brave mbth
00:11:46
well he deserves that name so he's
00:11:48
saying that you know like a prostitute
00:11:50
who would Grant favors to her client
00:11:52
shered him with all favors you know so
00:11:54
all this help was available to McDon
00:11:57
World okay uh so the reference is what
00:11:59
the reference is to all these troops
00:12:01
which are coming from the Western ises
00:12:02
from the hdes okay so now at this point
00:12:06
in time Shakespeare introduces mbth for
00:12:08
the second time first time was from the
00:12:10
witches the second time is from the
00:12:12
injured Sergeant both times you
00:12:15
see that is some conveying something
00:12:18
very negative this is and very Sinister
00:12:20
and this one is conveying the blood
00:12:22
imagy so that's how meth is introduced
00:12:25
even before he has actually arrived on
00:12:28
stage and it helps to build up interest
00:12:31
you
00:12:32
know you know you are curious to know
00:12:35
someone called meth is being uh spoken
00:12:38
about uh by different characters so
00:12:40
there is an element of curiosity which
00:12:42
is there in The Spectator in the reader
00:12:45
even before he actually makes an
00:12:47
appearance so he says for brave mbth
00:12:51
well he deserves that name another point
00:12:52
he saying that he deserves that name so
00:12:54
it's some kind of an affirmation that
00:12:56
that person called maget who we have not
00:12:59
so far is actually a very brave kind of
00:13:02
person who the witches are also keen on
00:13:04
meeting upon the heat right disdaining
00:13:07
Fortune with his brandish steel which
00:13:09
smoked with bloody execution like
00:13:11
valia's minion carved out his passage
00:13:14
till he faed his sleeve a slave sorry
00:13:17
face the
00:13:18
slave I have put a question about what
00:13:21
is the significance of this phrase bra
00:13:23
mab please have a look at the question
00:13:25
and answer now uh the sergeant is saying
00:13:29
that he arrived with contemp you know
00:13:31
content means he's so confident about
00:13:33
his
00:13:34
skills you know I will come and Conquer
00:13:37
everybody defeat the rebel forces so he
00:13:40
arrived with um contempt disdaining
00:13:43
Fortune disdain also essentially conveys
00:13:46
you know that I look down upon them
00:13:48
right uh that was smiling on and on the
00:13:51
fortune which was smiling at McDonald we
00:13:53
already spoken about the Rebels score
00:13:55
right and waved brandished brandished
00:13:57
means he waved his talwar he waved his
00:14:00
sword uh steel steel means uh sword so
00:14:05
this is
00:14:06
waved and he's talking about uh waved
00:14:11
his sword with smoke with bloody
00:14:19
execution so this is
00:14:21
waved his
00:14:25
sword okay uh which smoked with bloody
00:14:29
execution uh disdain as I already said
00:14:31
it also conveys a Defiance it also
00:14:34
conveys uh fate you know uh of going
00:14:37
against the fortune the Fate okay so um
00:14:41
interestingly mbth uses the sword in
00:14:43
this particular case to change the
00:14:45
course of this particular battle later
00:14:47
on he will use the sword against Duncan
00:14:50
right in order to change his own fortune
00:14:53
so please keep marking all these
00:14:55
elements of dramatic irony that
00:14:57
Shakespeare is very in a very subtle
00:14:59
manner introducing into the play you
00:15:01
know if you already know the story if
00:15:03
you have seen the introduction video
00:15:04
that I had done so you know the story so
00:15:06
these all these small small elements are
00:15:08
interesting so in if you get an answer
00:15:10
about the significance of the sword and
00:15:12
if you make a reference to that it
00:15:13
always shows to the exam that this
00:15:15
particular student knows a little more
00:15:17
than uh the others because he's able he
00:15:19
or she is able to make the correlation
00:15:21
between what is happening now and what
00:15:23
will happen later in the play and all
00:15:25
this because you are an S SWS
00:15:27
student okay okay bit smoked with bloody
00:15:31
execution bit smoked with bloody
00:15:34
execution what does this mean it is a
00:15:37
metaphor for a bloody image you know
00:15:39
completely blood so and it creates what
00:15:42
it creates a rather dramatic effect you
00:15:45
know ke so much of blood you know you
00:15:47
feel almost revolted you feel sorry you
00:15:49
feel a little agitated about what you
00:15:51
are seeing on stage or even while you're
00:15:54
reading and it emphasizes the the fury
00:15:57
of the battle the the fury of the
00:15:59
battlefield and the fact that it is very
00:16:01
very ferocious on that particular
00:16:03
Battlefield and this in a sense also
00:16:06
listen to this carefully it foreshadows
00:16:08
the assassination of King Duncan as I
00:16:11
said Bloodshed and the blood imagery is
00:16:13
an integral part of this particular play
00:16:17
so that is something which you need to
00:16:18
be very conscious of throughout uh the
00:16:21
play in almost every other scene wer
00:16:25
minion minion is someone who is like a
00:16:27
Chila kind of thing in Hindi okay so it
00:16:30
means the servant of Courage Valor means
00:16:34
courage okay Valor means courage and
00:16:37
Minion means someone who is a slave or a
00:16:40
servant carved out his passage till he
00:16:43
faced the slave so he's saying
00:16:47
that as if mbth was the favorite minion
00:16:52
is the favorite of Valor himself and he
00:16:54
cut a path through the enemy troops till
00:16:56
he fac the slave that is mcdonal which
00:17:00
never shook hands nor B farewell to him
00:17:03
uh it say it says that you know there
00:17:06
was no kind of I mean there's obviously
00:17:08
very clear animosity between mcdonal and
00:17:12
magb who is fighting on behalf of King
00:17:15
Duncan till he unseamed himself from the
00:17:17
Nave to the chaps Nave refers to the
00:17:19
Naple uh Naval uh and chaps refers to
00:17:22
the jaw Naval essentially the stomach
00:17:25
right so unseen from the battle M it
00:17:28
means that again the motive of blood
00:17:31
returns to meth and it says it's very
00:17:33
gory imagery because what he is doing
00:17:36
and this is something extremely gory
00:17:38
against something which will happen
00:17:39
later on in the play H so uh mbth
00:17:44
essentially rips apart McDonald like it
00:17:47
happens it it happened with a character
00:17:49
in Mahabharata I think beim rips apart
00:17:53
was it jarasandha if I remember my Hindu
00:17:55
mythology correctly uh you know he rips
00:17:58
apart
00:17:59
that particular demon so vivid and gory
00:18:03
images of meth ripping apart unseamed
00:18:07
unseen means you kind of SE CL right
00:18:12
unse right so that is what is important
00:18:15
and decapitating him you know completely
00:18:17
you know the body the human body is
00:18:19
ripped apart so you're decapitating that
00:18:22
particular human body and then
00:18:26
sticking fixed means sticking his head
00:18:29
Upon Our battlements what he has done
00:18:32
then he has removed the head and he has
00:18:34
put outside the castle in Scotland to
00:18:37
show what he can do to the enemy so you
00:18:39
get an idea about the fury of Mag Beth
00:18:43
on the battlefield you get an idea about
00:18:46
what he could possibly do on the
00:18:48
battlefield also that he could actually
00:18:50
subject his enemy to such kind of
00:18:54
Bloodshed and violence that is what meth
00:18:57
is capable of okay and he has put
00:19:00
McDonald's head as a trophy of Victory
00:19:03
please remember this phrase and use it
00:19:05
in your answers as a trophy of Victory
00:19:08
and this particular Act of Meb is
00:19:11
designed to frighten not just the enemy
00:19:15
the enemy The Rebel forces because the
00:19:17
next time anyone wants to Rebel he will
00:19:19
think about what meth did to mcdonal
00:19:22
it's also sets you to prepare okay this
00:19:25
is a guy who is a protagonist of this
00:19:27
particular player WR by William
00:19:29
Shakespeare who is capable of so much
00:19:33
violence that is what It prepares the
00:19:35
reader and The Spectator for okay now
00:19:39
the irony is again yet another thing
00:19:42
which s SW students would know and
00:19:44
should point out in your in their
00:19:46
answers the irony is that at the end of
00:19:49
the play meth 2 is decapitated by a
00:19:53
character called mdff okay um he cuts
00:19:56
his forehead his head and brings it to
00:19:59
Malcolm King Duncan's son so it in that
00:20:02
sense it gives a cyclical structure to
00:20:05
the play what happens in Act One happens
00:20:08
again to another character at the end of
00:20:11
the play so there is a cyclical
00:20:13
structure which is given to this play
00:20:15
magb and this kind of foreshadows the
00:20:18
ending of the play you know we know okay
00:20:21
this has happened will there will be an
00:20:23
equal retribution later on at the end of
00:20:25
the play that's what is really
00:20:27
Shakespeare so Shakespeare has this very
00:20:29
uh way of kind of doing these kind of
00:20:32
things
00:20:38
okay okay oh Valiant cousin worthy
00:20:41
gentlemen so uh so basically mbth what
00:20:45
he has done he that he has cut a path
00:20:47
till he faced mcdonal he did not pause
00:20:49
to shake hands with mcdonal or say
00:20:52
goodbye and cut him from his stomach to
00:20:54
the Jaws you know so this part of the
00:20:56
body he ripped apart and subsequently
00:20:58
play faed his head outside the castle uh
00:21:01
in front of the castle in uh F okay uh
00:21:04
and it is very clear that mb's entry
00:21:06
into the battlefield was like the
00:21:08
turning point of that particular battle
00:21:10
which was referred to by the witches in
00:21:12
act one scene one also it turns in
00:21:14
Duncan's favor the Duncan's Duncan King
00:21:16
Duncan's Army manages to win that
00:21:18
particular battle now Duncan calls him
00:21:21
oh
00:21:22
heroic Valiant means courageous heroic
00:21:25
Brave cousin he's referring to him as
00:21:27
cousin I'll take you why and he calls
00:21:30
him a worthy gentleman because Duncan's
00:21:33
mother and meet's mother were actually
00:21:37
sisters so that makes Duncan a cousin of
00:21:40
meth however I must also point out here
00:21:44
that shakespare is known to have used
00:21:46
the word cousin also a little Loosely
00:21:48
even when it is not only referring to
00:21:51
relatives but with some kind of kinship
00:21:54
okay in that sense also in other place
00:21:56
he has used the word cousin okay but in
00:21:59
this particular case there is a sense of
00:22:02
um relationship between King Duncan and
00:22:06
megb okay so that I just wanted to point
00:22:08
that out to
00:22:10
you Sergeant says as when the sun begins
00:22:15
it Its Reflection let me just move it
00:22:17
forward it's a very old Edition which I
00:22:20
got which is probably why it's kind of
00:22:22
you know
00:22:27
little okay okay so as winds the sun
00:22:31
begins his reflection shipw wrecking
00:22:33
storms and direful Thunders break so
00:22:36
from that spring winds Comfort seemed to
00:22:38
come discomfort swells so what is he
00:22:41
saying is that he's reporting to Duncan
00:22:44
the good news of meet's Victory as well
00:22:46
as the bad news that the king of Norway
00:22:49
has begun a fresh assault okay so he
00:22:53
says that just as terrible storms
00:22:55
shipbreaking storms shipw wrecking means
00:22:58
so they're so terrible they're like the
00:22:59
Tempest you know which kind of create
00:23:02
storms on the Seas uh and Dreadful
00:23:05
thunder direful thunder Dreadful means
00:23:08
again very fearful and Dreadful Thunder
00:23:12
suddenly Ares when the sun begins to
00:23:14
rise in the east so also new trouble
00:23:17
begins to rise uh when it when when it
00:23:21
seemed that we have reached our moment
00:23:23
of Triumph with the killing of McDon
00:23:25
World okay uh so discomfort swells so so
00:23:29
the good news was there I told you about
00:23:31
the good news of we having won the
00:23:33
battle as a result of meet's Waller now
00:23:36
there is a bad news discomfort is
00:23:39
swelling again we are getting some bad
00:23:41
news when we thought all was going well
00:23:44
listen King of Scotland listen Mark
00:23:47
means listen King of Scotland listen no
00:23:49
sooner Justice had with Valor armed
00:23:51
compel these keeping KS to trust their
00:23:53
heels trust their heels means to run
00:23:55
away from the battlefield KS were the
00:23:57
ones which were helping McDon world to
00:24:00
trust their heels means to run away but
00:24:04
the norian Lord that is the king of
00:24:06
Norway surveying Vantage sensing some
00:24:09
kind of an advantage with furbished arms
00:24:11
and new supplies of men that is with you
00:24:14
know new soldiers Etc coming and with
00:24:16
more modern and better
00:24:19
Weaponry okay uh he began a fresh
00:24:23
assault uh with fresh soldiers and new
00:24:25
weapons so that is the second bit of
00:24:27
news so if you get a question about the
00:24:29
news which had been brought by the
00:24:31
sergeant you need to talk about the
00:24:33
first battle and then you need to talk
00:24:35
about what king of Norway had
00:24:38
done let me move it forward dismayed not
00:24:42
this our captains meth and banko so
00:24:45
Duncan is asking whether this did not
00:24:48
trouble our captains who are the two
00:24:50
captains meth and banko the sergeant
00:24:54
says yes as Sparrow's Eagles are the
00:24:56
hair the land so now he's being a little
00:24:59
let's say a little not sarcastic but in
00:25:01
a very poetic manner he's kind of
00:25:03
describing he's saying that well yes
00:25:06
they did trouble as much as a sparrow
00:25:09
troubles the eagle okay or a rabbit or a
00:25:13
hair troubles the lion obviously both
00:25:16
don't happen a rabbit does not trouble
00:25:18
the lion okay unless he runs very fast
00:25:20
or sparrows don't trouble the eagle
00:25:22
which will be able to catch them
00:25:23
similarly uh these um king of Norway
00:25:26
forces do not trouble are Heroes that is
00:25:29
Captains meth and banko which means no
00:25:32
not at all not at all trouble if I say
00:25:37
truthfully Soo means truthfully if I
00:25:39
speak truthfully I must report they
00:25:44
were as cannons overcharged with double
00:25:47
cracks so they doubly redouble Strokes
00:25:50
upon the four except they meant to Bath
00:25:52
in wreaking wounds or memorize another
00:25:54
golgo I cannot tell what does this mean
00:25:58
so he says that if I speak truthfully I
00:26:00
must tell you that they were like
00:26:02
cannons cannons is like through which
00:26:04
the gabu this thing to you know put it
00:26:06
in recent bahubali Etc kind of movies
00:26:08
you would have seen right they were like
00:26:10
cannons loaded with double do of gun
00:26:13
power cannons overcharged with double
00:26:16
cracks double dose of gunpowder so they
00:26:19
exploded on the enemy who meth and banko
00:26:22
so they exploded on the enemy doubling
00:26:25
their impact with greater ferocity so
00:26:27
they were even more f
00:26:28
this time in the battle against the king
00:26:31
of Norway perhaps they wanted to Bath in
00:26:35
the blood okay except they meant to Bath
00:26:38
in wreaking wounds they wanted to bath
00:26:40
so bath in Blood of the wounds of their
00:26:43
enemies just imagine the kind of very
00:26:46
reprehensible you kind of cringe at the
00:26:50
kind of the power of the language that
00:26:52
Shakespeare has used telling it through
00:26:55
a very injured Sergeant talking about
00:26:58
about extreme
00:27:00
Bloodshed this the the thought of
00:27:03
someone actually drinking or bathing in
00:27:05
the blood of the wounds of the enemies
00:27:08
it conveys an extremely
00:27:10
reprehensible um very disgusting kind of
00:27:13
an image right uh to indulge in Total
00:27:17
Carnage you know total Bloodshed to make
00:27:19
that Battlefield another Golgotha now
00:27:22
what is golota I cannot tell or to
00:27:24
memorize means to kind of remember or to
00:27:27
remind people of another golata to make
00:27:30
that Battlefield another golgatha
00:27:31
according to the New Testament Jesus
00:27:34
Christ was crucified at a spot outside
00:27:37
Jerusalem called golgo okay that is
00:27:40
something which is the reference which
00:27:42
is why the reference to Golgotha now let
00:27:44
me give you some more extra information
00:27:45
I put it in the notes also the word
00:27:47
Golgotha actually means the place of the
00:27:49
skull uh and the Latin word for skull is
00:27:53
calvaria which is why in English many
00:27:55
Christians refer to Golgotha as Cal
00:27:58
okay just for your GK okay so he says
00:28:01
but I am now feeling but I am feeling
00:28:05
tired I am also feeling tired I am
00:28:07
feeling very tired my gashes Cry for
00:28:10
Help gashes means my wounds are crying
00:28:12
for some kind of medical attention
00:28:14
Duncan said so well thy words become
00:28:16
thee as thy wounds they smack of Honor
00:28:19
both go get him surgeons so Duncan says
00:28:21
your words speak of Honor just like your
00:28:24
wounds do because the wounds are proof
00:28:26
that you fought valiantly on on the
00:28:28
battlefield saved my son Malcolm also
00:28:30
from getting captured remember so in the
00:28:33
sergeant character sketch I so you need
00:28:35
to mention all these facts not just he's
00:28:38
a messenger of what happened of facts
00:28:40
he's also someone who saved his son
00:28:42
Malcolm the Crown Prince Malcom from
00:28:45
captivity so he says it your words
00:28:48
convey that you're an honorable man get
00:28:50
him to a surgeon that is get someone to
00:28:53
cure him of his surgeons who comes here
00:28:55
so the captain the sergeant
00:28:58
it and enter Ross and Angus now they
00:29:01
Ross essentially role is that of a
00:29:03
messenger Malcolm says
00:29:07
sorry what a haste looks with the worthy
00:29:10
th of Ross th is another title in
00:29:14
Scotland okay just like mbth at this
00:29:17
point in time is a thing of glams it's
00:29:20
spelled as g l a m i s it's pronounced
00:29:23
as glams okay what a haste looks through
00:29:27
his eyes so should he look that seems to
00:29:29
speak things strange so Duncan says U
00:29:33
after U he has gone that his eyes convey
00:29:36
that he has something important and
00:29:38
incredible to convey okay uh important
00:29:42
haste means something very important
00:29:44
something Hasty he has to conveyed the
00:29:45
news so so she should look that seems to
00:29:49
speak things strange so he has something
00:29:51
very important and incredible to convey
00:29:53
God saved the king when then C as thou
00:29:56
worthy th Ross says from five Great king
00:29:59
where the noran banners flout the sky
00:30:01
and fan our people cold so he's also
00:30:04
telling about that particular battles he
00:30:07
says great king I come from five where
00:30:09
the Norwegian banners fly in the sky uh
00:30:12
flout indicates that they are doing
00:30:13
something which they should normally not
00:30:15
do they're going against the uh rules
00:30:18
they're mocking our land okay they're
00:30:20
Fanning our people called Norway himself
00:30:22
that is the king of Norway the terrible
00:30:24
numbers assisted by that most disloyal
00:30:27
traitor the th of coder began a dismal
00:30:30
conflict till that bellona's bridegroom
00:30:32
laed improv confronted him with
00:30:34
self-comparison so he's saying that the
00:30:37
king of noret himself with a large army
00:30:40
and assisted by the disloyal um traitor
00:30:43
the thing of coder began a battle that
00:30:46
our forces looked likely to lose till
00:30:49
the point when meth clad in armor now
00:30:52
mbth comes to the rescue once again mbth
00:30:55
clad in armor armor I mean referring to
00:30:57
proof out here which is lapped in proof
00:31:00
means lapped in that weaponed armor
00:31:03
confronted him with self-comparisons he
00:31:05
kind of took him on confronted him with
00:31:08
self-comparisons there was a hand
00:31:09
to-hand com combat arm against arm and
00:31:12
he broke the spirit of the army when he
00:31:15
says curbing his lavish Spirit he broke
00:31:17
the spirit of the enemy forces and in
00:31:20
the end we emerged uh Victory fell on us
00:31:23
we emerged uh Victorious now bellona's
00:31:26
bridegroom Bellona was the Roman goddess
00:31:29
of war and meth is being referred to as
00:31:33
her bridegroom so again elevating him
00:31:36
even before he has actually been uh and
00:31:38
know has made an entry in this
00:31:40
particular uh uh play it is used to
00:31:43
exaggerate the heroism of mbth so
00:31:46
bellona's bridegroom as a key phrase
00:31:49
please use it in your answers whenever
00:31:51
you're talking about mbth okay dunan
00:31:54
reacts saying great happiness Ross says
00:31:57
sweno sweno is the name of the Norwegian
00:31:59
King craves composition nor would be D
00:32:02
him burial off his mentally dispersed at
00:32:04
sent columns inch $10,000 to our general
00:32:08
use so he says he desires truths that he
00:32:11
desires some kind of he has waved the
00:32:13
White Flag he wants a truce with us and
00:32:16
he begs for a peace treaty craves
00:32:18
composition means he begs for a peace
00:32:21
treaty we refuse to allow him that is
00:32:24
Dane we refuse to allow him the burial
00:32:26
of his men till actually went back
00:32:28
retreated means he went back disbursed
00:32:31
he went back to send columns inch though
00:32:34
it is spelled as c l m e apostrophe s
00:32:37
the pronunciation is columns k o l l u m
00:32:41
and gave us $10,000 for our use so those
00:32:44
are the conditions uh which have been
00:32:46
imposed
00:32:48
okay meth sorry Duncan no more than uh
00:32:53
no more that thing of cter shall deceive
00:32:55
uh our bosam interest so he says uh
00:32:58
dollars is a reference to the silver
00:33:00
coins inch means Island uh Duncan says
00:33:03
that the th of quarter will never again
00:33:05
deceive our interest go Proclaim that he
00:33:07
will be executed so immediate punishment
00:33:10
being U given to him go pronounce his
00:33:13
present death and with his former title
00:33:15
greet meth so it says that the thing of
00:33:18
coder title will now pass on to meth who
00:33:21
is now the th of glams okay so that is
00:33:24
what uh will happen so Ross says I will
00:33:27
get it done no no mbth has won that what
00:33:30
thing of cter has uh lost you know what
00:33:33
he had lost Noble mbth has won so Noble
00:33:37
is another adjective which has been used
00:33:38
from MTH please use it as a keyword so
00:33:42
basically this line introduces the fact
00:33:44
that titles were not hereditary they had
00:33:46
to be kind of gained or lost purely on
00:33:48
the basis of Merit which is an important
00:33:50
point and it's an idea which kind of
00:33:53
gets dangerous because when ambition
00:33:54
meets ambition meets this kind of an
00:33:57
arrangement it means anyone could
00:33:59
actually try to become the king and in
00:34:01
this case by murdering the king uh what
00:34:03
mebed does to Duncan
00:34:06
now a few points before we close act one
00:34:09
scene two mbth kills magdonal taking
00:34:13
revenge for his treachery against the
00:34:15
throne okay U it is ironic because the
00:34:18
same meth later on kills Duncan in order
00:34:21
to gain the Throne of the kingdom of uh
00:34:25
Scotland okay so here his very
00:34:28
ferociously protecting Duncan but the
00:34:30
same meth once he hears of the
00:34:32
prophecies by the three witches he
00:34:34
completely goes the other side and he
00:34:36
decides to become the aggressor against
00:34:38
King Duncan himself that is an important
00:34:40
point that you need to bear in mind so
00:34:42
any long uh five Mark or 10 mark
00:34:45
question that you get you should be able
00:34:47
to put it in that kind of a context of
00:34:49
what happens later on in the play also
00:34:51
because it will give your answer that
00:34:53
much more depth uh the scene also shows
00:34:56
that meth was given to use extreme
00:35:00
violence that's another important aspect
00:35:03
of meth that comes through even though
00:35:05
we have not met mbth so far uh the blood
00:35:09
soaked
00:35:10
Sergeant he's pretty unrecognizable
00:35:13
because there's so much of blood on his
00:35:15
face and his body pretty much like mbth
00:35:18
who also will get transformed into a
00:35:20
monster who will be covered by the blood
00:35:22
of all those people who he kills in
00:35:24
order to achieve his ambition right so
00:35:26
that's another important important
00:35:28
comparison that you could draw between
00:35:30
the sergeant and meth that works very
00:35:32
well literally and this in a
00:35:34
metaphorical kind of a sense uh the
00:35:37
third point is very important because it
00:35:39
shows Duncan's inability to judge people
00:35:42
correctly he's very happy with what mmed
00:35:45
has done so he does not kind of think
00:35:46
that could he also become a potential
00:35:49
threat to me and my family later on he
00:35:52
immediately rewards dun so you could
00:35:55
magb so you could think that he's a fair
00:35:57
King that's one way of looking at Duncan
00:35:59
the other way of looking at Duncan is
00:36:01
that he does not have a very great
00:36:02
Judgment of the people around him okay
00:36:06
uh because he's doing what he's
00:36:08
replacing one traitor who mcdonal with
00:36:11
another traitor potential traitor that
00:36:13
is going to be meth uh meth and banko
00:36:17
are compared to Eagles and Lions and the
00:36:19
lion actually appears on the crest of
00:36:22
the king Royal Court of the arms of the
00:36:24
King of Scotland so just a small detail
00:36:27
and uh Duncan is shown as someone who is
00:36:30
concerned about the bleeding soldiers
00:36:32
tells his people that you know he should
00:36:34
be taken to a surgeon of course after
00:36:36
knowing all the news from him okay so uh
00:36:39
this is as far as act two act one scene
00:36:41
two is concerned I hope you have
00:36:43
understood it very thoroughly go through
00:36:45
the notes because Shakespeare is not
00:36:47
something which you will understand and
00:36:49
remember in one reading multiple
00:36:51
readings will be required and meth
00:36:53
definitely is that kind of a play so
00:36:55
please go through the notes because in
00:36:56
the notes each and every line is
00:36:58
explained with uh the exact words Etc
00:37:01

00:37:03
