Macbeth, with the murder on his mind, has a vision.
Is this a dagger I can see… see but cannot touch? The hilt is turned toward my hand, but still… I cannot clutch. It is a dagger… of the mind to lead me to his room Although unreal, it’s like the one I draw to seal his doom.
He draws his dagger.
I must move soft, that no one hears my footsteps on the stone In silence then I make my way, my presence never known…

A bell rings.
The signal sounds, the time has come for Duncan… it’s a knell I go… it’s done, I send him now to heaven, or… to hell.

He enters the room. End of Scene 1
