Excerpt from The Tragedie of Macbeth: A New Edition of Shakspere's Works With Critical, Text in Elizabethan English and Brief Notes, Illustrative of Elizabethan Life, Thought and Idiom The first three sentences of this scene do not sound like Shakspere, especially the awk ward and unnecessary inversion of the revolt the newest state.' Moreover, they intro duce the succeeding events as an aspect of a revolt, not as a single battle; they explain to the audience the re ations of the actors to the action in a bald and mechanical way quite unlike Shakspere's, who usually leaves the action to explain itself; they make Malcolm participate in the battle but leave the field for no a parent cause before its crisis has come on and in utter ignorance of the issue of even the irst stage of the fight; and they contain a reference to the news-bringer as a wounded serjeant that is inconsistent with the scene and stage directions. These inconsistencies give ood ground for su osing that Scene II when it left Shakspere's hands be an with alcolm's words mile, brave friendi These lines are therefore marked of from the rest of the lay by an obelus (t), and the Captaine of F0. 1 is not altered to Sergeant or oldier in the stage directions, as in modern editions beginning with Capell's, 1767. The Duncan of modern editions has also been changed back to the King of F0. 1. There is only one king in the play, and that is Duncan. Macbeth's kingship is an ill-worn, ill-fitting garment, and we are never allowed by Shakspere to forget the fact; even Davenant's later version of the play, 1674, recognized the fitness of this stage direction. The theory stated by the editors of the Clarendon Press edition (cl. That the whole scene, together with vv. 1 - 37 of Scene III, is by another hand than Shakspere's, is quite untenable.
