Cam Magee reads instructions from Dialogues for Schools, an 1813 textbook:
"In moderate sorrow, the countenance is dejected, the eyes are cast downward, the arms hang loose; the hands open, the fingers spread. In excess, sorrow distorts the countenance, it raises the voice; it wrings the hands, beats the head and breast, tears the hair, and throws itself on the ground."
MACDUFF (Jason Stiles):
My children too!—
ROSS (Elisha Bartels):
Wife, children, servants, all that could be found!
MACDUFF:
And I must be from thence! my wife kill’d too!
ROSS: I’ve said.
MALCOLM (Clint Brandhagen):
Be comforted.
Let’s make us med’cines of our great revenge,
To cure this deadly grief.
MACDUFF:
He has no children!
What, all? Did you say all?
MALCOLM:
Endure it like a man.
MACDUFF:
I shall.
But I must also feel it as a man.
I cannot but remember such things were
That were most precious to me: did heaven look on,
And would not take their part? sinful Macduff,
They were all struck for thee! naught that I am!
Not for their own demerits, but for mine
Fell slaughter on their souls: heav’n rest them now.
—Macbeth
