It is all death and madness and "gouts of blood" flying. Act 5 starts with Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene. Shakespeare then alternates scenes from inside the castle with scenes of Malcolm and the approaching army. Finally the army throws down its "leafy screens" and battle commences, culminating in the death of Macbeth and the proclamation of Malcolm as king.

∙ 9y agoLady Macbeth reads a letter from Macbeth telling her about his meeting with the witches. She is excited by the possibility of being the Queen but thinks that Macbeth will need to be pushed to make sure that he becomes King. A messenger tells her that Duncan is on his way. She prays to the "spirits that tend on mortal thoughts" to make her really nasty and without conscience. Macbeth arrives and she tells him what she has in mind and concludes "Leave all the rest to me."

∙ 7y agoShakespeare did not write messages into his plays. The scenes make plot points, and this scene, the famous Sleepwalking Scene, makes the point that Lady Macbeth has gone insane from the guilt of the murders. This was not a development she expected.

In Shakespeare's tragedies often the main character is given a chance to say something significant before he dies. What speech might function as Macbeth's farewell even though it doesn't occur in act?
Macbeth's final soliloquy in Act V, Scene 5 ("Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow") can be considered as his farewell speech as it reflects on the meaningless nature of life and his impending death. This soliloquy encapsulates Macbeth's despair and nihilism as he realizes the futility of his actions and the inevitability of his downfall.
How does Shakespeare use characterization or symbolism to develop the theme in Act4 Scene1?
In Scene 1, Sebastian and Antonio create a story of a monster to explain why their swords are drawn. Gonzalo connects this with a "buzzing" in his ears which was Ariel trying to wake him up. In Scene 2, Trinculo mistakes Caliban for a fish and Stefano mistakes Trinculo and Caliban together for a four-legged monster. Caliban mistakes Stefano and Trinculo for deities when they are only drunks. Throughout Act 2, the characters mistake the drab reality for a magical illusion. It was The Tempest you were asking about, wasn't it?

IS THE PROLOGUE A SOLILOQUY OR AN aside romeo and Juliet?
It is not an aside, since there is nobody else on stage, behind whose back the words might be said. Nor is it properly speaking a soliloquy, since it is not delivered within the context of the play. The Prologue is not a character in the play who is delivering his perspective on what is going on, but an external observer giving an objective address to the audience. Compare the prologue of Romeo and Juliet with the similar Prologue in Henry V and contrast it with the soliloquy ( NOT a prologue) which starts Richard III. That soliloquy is given by Richard, one of the characters in the play, and it is given in character.

Who does Macbeth admit to killing?
Macbeth admits the murders to his wife and hired murderers, who are already privy to the crimes, as well as to the audience. In his soliloquy at the beginning of Act III, he says of Banquo's issue, "For them have I the royal Duncan murdered." That's an admission but only the audience hears it. In a way, he also admits the slaughter of Macduff's family when he says to him in Act V, "my soul is too much charged with blood of thine already."
