In Act 5 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, the Gentlewoman attendant was the witness to unsettling behavior by her Queen, Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015]. The Gentlewoman called in a Doctor to be her witness to the odd, nightly doings of her royal mistress. So both the Gentlewoman and the Doctor saw Macbeth's Lady sleepwalk; rub her hands together in a way reminiscent of washing off stains or troubled spots; and lament the bloodied killings of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], Macduff's wife, and Banquo.
The doctor was assigned to observe Lady Macbeth's unusal behavior, by Macbeth. In Act 5 Scene 3 the doctor makes his report to Macbeth. Macbeth asks, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd?" and when the doctor says no, Macbeth says "Throw physic to the dogs! I'll have none of it!" The inference we can draw is that Macbeth really does care about his wife and wants her to get better. People often misunderstand Macbeth's reaction to his wife's death as meaning that he does not care for her, but this scene, occurring shortly before, proves that he does.
A doctor and gentlewoman watch her sleepwalking fit, an activity which appears to have been happening a lot lately. She comes out and reenacts bits and pieces of her own plan to murder Duncan with Macbeth, but her sleepy recounting is peppered with her own insecurities, or perhaps guilt.
