Read this passage from Act V in which the doctor is speaking about Lady Macbeth’s illness. From The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare

DOCTOR.
Foul whisp’rings are abroad. Unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
More needs she the divine than the physician.
God, God forgive us all! Look after her;
Remove from her the means of all annoyance,
And still keep eyes upon her. So good night.
My mind she has mated and amazed my sight:
I think, but dare not speak.
What can you infer from these lines about medical knowledge and practices during Shakespeare’s time?

Doctors depended on luck and God’s help to treat illness.

Doctors believed in a blending of religion and medicine.

Doctors knew that mental illness was a result of bad dreams.

Doctors treated both physical and mental illnesses.
