ACT V 

The Sleep- 
walking Scene 

Scene I. Dunsinane. Ante-room in the castle 

Enter a Doctor of Physic and a Waiting-Gentle- 
woman 

Doctor. I have two nights watched with you, 
but can perceive no truth in your report. When 
was it she last walked? 

Gentlewoman. Since his majesty went into the 
field, I have seen her rise from her bed, throw her 
nightgown upon her, unlock her closet, take forth 
paper, fold it, write upon't, read it, afterwards seal 
it, and again return to bed ; yet all this while in a 
most fast sleep. 

Doctor. A great perturbation in nature, to re- 
ceive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects 
of watching ! In this slumbery agitation, besides 
her walking and other actual performances, what 
at any time have you heard her say? 

Gentlewoman. That, sir, which I will not report 
after her. 

Doctor. You may to me, and 'tis most meet you 
should. 

10-14. Why is this speech characteristic? Why is this 
scene in prose?
