In this scene, my character, the messenger, wants to warn Lady Macduff of the impending danger approaching her and her children. My character does this out of loyalty to the Macduff family. The major obstacle in his way is the fact that he has very little time to relay his message because the danger he wishes to report is close by. When my character confronts these obstacles, he puts himself in mortal danger and is killed due to this. My character speaks in hushed tones and is out of breath when he does so. My character does this because of his fear of what is coming and his haste to relay his message. Because of his awareness of what is coming, my character, the messenger, is uneasy and skittish.
