Damn you, Shakespeare!

For English class, we were given an assignment which is worth quite a percentage of our final mark. We were placed in several groups who each are supposed to act out a scene from Shakespeare's widely-known supernatural play, Macbeth. My group is to act out Act V Scene VII-VIII, the last fight between Macbeth and Macduff.

The problem arises with the amount of "important" information we are to take from these 3 pages of lines. After reading, analyzing, reading some more, and analyzing some more, and so on, I couldn't find any important tidbits of information that talks about either the character, the themes, nor any significant events. The only sort of information I gathered was of Macbeth's complete reversal of character when juxtaposed to his characteristics in the beginning; in that, I mean how he has become entirely evil, as opposed to his loyal, honest self in the beginning, as it shows in his megalomaniac self (i.e. can't die by a man from a woman born).

But that's it, that's all I can get from it. It's very short, and hardly shows anything from the play. We aren't given a due date yet, but it's due sometime this week - probably the end. If anyone can help me in this dilemma, It's greatly appreciated.
