Director Paragraph 

If I was the director of the dagger soliloquy, I would make the seen very serious and show Macbeth as being mad. As the actor is saying the speech I would darken his surrounding and put a spot light on the actor to give the speech a more serious aspect to it. As he starts to talk about the dagger, " Is this a dagger  which I see before me/ The handle toward my hand? Come let me clutch thee:" (2,1.33.34.) I would suspend the dagger in front of the actor as to be just at his finger tips but just barely outta his reach. I would do this as to be teasing Macbeth/the actor. Showing his mind playing tricks on him making him seem mad. I think this would be the best way to stage the seen as to show Macbeth is crazy and plotting to kill the king.

 

  Dagger Paragraph

  In the play, Macbeth is shown to be mad this is shown by "Is this a dagger which I see before me, / The handle toward my hand?/ come let me clutch thee:/ I have thee not,and yet I see thee still."/(2,1. 32,33,35). This quote is showing Macbeth seeing images of a dagger that are not there. This makes Macbeth seem mad he is rambling on about a dagger that's not there, almost to be taunting him as to kill the king." I see thee still/ And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood/ Which was not so before".(2,1.45,46,47). Now he is seeing someone blood on the dagger as if he had killed the king. so he must be a mad because he sees things and sees someones blood on a dagger that's not there.
