Note 18 — Chapter Five THE STAGING
Reading edition
Julius Caesar, IV, iii, 267-308; Macbeth, III, iv, 38-73, 93-107; Hamlet, I, i, 18-69, 126-175; I, iv, 38-91; I, v, 1-113; III, iv, 102-136. From this list I exclude the show of kings in Macbeth, IV, i. The apparitions do not pass over the stage immediately, but assemble upon it until Banquo’s ghost “points at them for his.” The lines that follow being of doubtful authenticity, they offer no assistance in determining how the apparitions depart, though nothing in the text conflicts with the conventional manner of staging ghost scenes.
