ACT V SCENE IIIV

This is what every moment led up too...my death. Before I speak about it, I do regret the actions I took to get here, but as I wish I could take them back, I can not. Knowing everything that I do know, this wasn’t worth Duncans, Banquos, and the Macduff family’s deaths. Through all this I saw myself become obsessed with the idea of being king, but not noticing and realizing what I was doing to the people around me. I went back to killing without any thought or true feeling..all I felt after I shed Duncan’s blood was frightfulness and cowardly of my actions. But there on that battlefield with Macduff, was the only thing I felt true feeling with and knew that I was repaying my dues with my own life which I was content with. My last words for myself and to Macduff were, “ Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, and damned be him that first cries”Hold! Enough!”” (Act V Scene IIIV ) Then, I am slain. Don’t let power and ambition get to ones head too quickly.. the results may be as dire as mine.

ACT V SCENE V

I bring unsettling news about my lady..she has succumbed to her illness and passed away right before my battle with Macduff’s army for the crown. Although I am not very affected by this passing per say, I knew and had realized earlier that sooner or later one or both of us would break down enough to rid of ourselves not to deal anymore with our past actions. When I heard of these news, Seyton came to tell me it..he stated after hearing a women scream, “ The Queen, my lord, is dead.” (Act V Scene V) I know I should’ve reacted more saddened but for me hopefully she was at rest and didn’t have to bear with what was heavily hanging over my head for many months.

ACT V SCENE III

Here I am now, standing in my Castle front hearing news that a massive army is heading my way and I have to prepare myself for a potential suicide mission. As I look out in front of me, I start to feel bitter in a way of If I had just ignored those horrid witches and kept in my line, I wouldn’t be anywhere near this situation, but can’t go back now. On this battlefield, I will make right with what I have done with my life and try to redeem myself as a last action I can perform. When I start preparing, the doctor comes bearing bad news about my Lady. He tells me that her illness isn’t physical but mental to which there is no cure. This makes me even more bitter and furious for the fact that I know even my own wife will not make it through this battle more than I. He told me, “ Not sick, my lord, as she is troubled with thick-coming fancies that keep her from rest.” (Act V Scene III) Here, he doesn’t know what is keeping her from sleep, but I do all too well. I understand, but still want something done with her because I do not want to abandon her into battle one last time.

ACT V SCENE I

Here, we see the sudden downfall of my Lady Macbeth..Her doctor and gentlewoman are scared for her since she is sleepwalking now and to her has no idea what she is doing. The gentlewoman and doctor observe the Lady as she maneuvers through the castle doing odd actions which make them seem suspicious of why she is doing this. I love her dearly, but I knew sooner or later the actions that we performed would sooner or later get to her and be too much for her. The doctor talks about how he cannot help her for his is not something he’s seen before or studied too much of. He knows it is more physcological, and hints at knowing that there is a darker cause of this behavior. He tell the gentlewomen, “This disease is beyond my practice. Yet I have known those which have walked in their sleep, who have died holily in their beds.” (Act V Scene I) To tell her now, my dearest love, may you rest peacefully and I shall see you soon.

ACT IV SCENE II 

After visiting the witches again, I now know what I must do. To get to Macduff, I must kill his wife and son to make him feel completely alone and be able to have one over on him. I know they are presently at the castle.. I shall send murderers to do the deed as it is too dangerous to leave the grounds at this moment. Ross tells them that their husband/father is dead and that everything is going to be okay and not to worry about anything. As soon as Ross left, some messenger came into trying to warn them, but luckily he was too late and the killing had already been done but the two I sent. My plan is coming together.. slower than I thought but anything is better than nothing at this point and time. Although last Macduff isn’t killed her son is as she cries murder after everything is done. (Act IV Scene II)

ACT IV SCENE I 

I now am presently looking for the three weird sisters and have successfully found them, and have questions about my future to make sure it is in fact secured to be as they told me. I demand them to tell me my future without tricks and code of word and when I do they tell me to ask each of them a question but from one of their masters mouth shall I get an answer. I asked them to tell me who I shall stay away from to escape death.. an apparition appeared and stated, “ MacBeth! MacBeth! MacBeth! Beware Macduff! Beware the Thane of Fife! Dismiss me. Enough.” (Act IV Scene I) This puts me off in a sense of this is who I need to stay away from basically in order to keep my life. Then the second, told me that no one born of woman could hurt me. At first I was confused but it basically showed me I was invincible to others since how can one be not woman born? Finally, the third told me that I need to beware of the forest as it shall strike back.. that’s when I felt as though these witches must be playing tricks on me.. or maybe not?

ACT III SCENE IV 

After I let the murderers do their bloody deed, I waited in the castle for the banquet to start and to await the news upon Banquo and Fleance’s deaths. When I saw one of them appear in the castle I approached him with seeing blood upon his face, knowingly it was Banquos. He then spoke to tell me, “My lord, his throat is cut. That I did for him.” (Act III Scene IV) I am so thankful that they pulled off such an act with such silence and that the deed was done. Unfortunately the child got away, but at that time I didn’t have the energy to worry about a child. The fact that Banquo was out of the situation made me happy. As we started the banquet,my eyes did so deceive me as I saw the ghost of Banquo sitting in my chair as I entered the room. I didn’t know how to react, so I started yelling at nothing I was told by my Lady and now I am given even worse dreams and nightmares because of those damned dirty deeds I have committed. Have I gone too far? I cannot go back now, but I’m the end, would this be worth all the blood that has been shed..?

ACT III SCENE I

Now that Duncan is dead and I am now King, Thane of Cawdor, I can now go through with the rest of my plan. Banquo is becoming highly suspicious of me and my actions because of what he knows.. I need to rid of him and his son fleance since they are the next line of royalty. I have hired two murderers to gt rid of Banquo and his so for me since i cannot shed anymore blood after Duncan. To get Banquo and his son back here, I shall  put together a banquet and invite them both but on the way here, they shall be murdered and taken care of without a drop of blood on my hands. This plan is basically fool-proof!! I have talked to the murderers and have their word to take care of the two of them. One of them had said, “ We shall my lord, perform what you command us.” (Act III Scene I) To know that I have their loyalty and that this act will be seen through gives me some what discomfort but comfort at the same time.. I am in discomfort because as of now I am killing my friends for a stature that its truly mine, but comfort for as though I a king now and I therefore can not give that up after everything being done.

ACT II SCENE III 

Now that the deed has been done, the hardest part will be playing innocent to not be caught. Although the servants, his son’s, and Macduff don’t know of any intention of mine to do something as so, Banquo was there when the witches were telling me of what I could be one day...could I be overthinking or will i have to get rid of all evidence of myself involved in this action. Macduff and Lennox were talking about how they suspected the son’s Malcolm and Donalbaine since they didn’t speak much after the murder which was very suspicious in itself. As i brought Macduff to Duncan’s room, Lennox said something to me that will stick with me, and to my death will haunt me.. “ ...strange screams of death, and prophesying, with accents terrible, of dire combustion and confused events new hatched to th’woeful time.” (Act II Scene III ) This stuck with me because that night was all those at once, and for me I do not believe it is something I will ever be able to get over. Since the deed it done, there is nothing else for me to do but go forward with this prophecy, and see it through that I will be Thane of Cawdor one day.

ACT II SCENE II

Duncan and his servants have arrived at my castle and have made their selves at home, to our advantage. I am still conflicted with going through with this act against Duncan, but I know it is something that I need to do to be King and for that I shall do whatever. My wife is supposed to give me a signal for when the time is right and the deed can be done. I feel as though when the signal is raised, that I will not be able to perform the deed..my lady will be very angry and disappointed but what else am I to do? She came to me in the room i was awaiting in and she told me, “ I have drugged their possets, that death and nature do contend about them whether they live or die.”( Act II Scene II ) When she told me that the time had come, I knew what I had to do. I went to Duncan’s room, where he was fast asleep, not knowing he would be taking his last breaths while he slept. With the dagger in my hand, i raised it upon his chest and plundered it upon thee, killing him and putting what those cruel witches said in their twisted prophecies true. But now I worry that someone may have heard the done deed..what have I done?

ACT I SCENE V

I have sent my wife, Lady Macbeth a letter about the prophecies the witches were speaking of. For my sake, I hope she believes me and possible push me to be able to do the deeds that I need to do to become the King. I’m in a contradictory situation with myself at the moment because I feel as though I am not strong enough to bring myself to kill Duncan. At the same time, I want to rule and be the Thane of Cawdor for all I’ve done for this country and what I have sacrifice. When I returned home, I spoke to my wife about the entire plot and she told me that we will kill him once he arrives at my castle for our welcoming gathering. She stated something that will stay with me, “ O, never shall the sun that marrow see!”( Act I Scene V) This gave me the chills knowing that after tonight, I cannot undo what I will have done...

ACT I SCENE III

Today after returning from battle with my friend Banquo we left the battlefield when we stumbled upon three witches, who looked a bit scary and suspicious as they were speaking of some strange things. As I somewhat remember, one of them said,” All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!”( Act I Scene III). We started listening and talking to them as they kept talking,they were speaking of how I could be the Thane of Cawdor even though at this time Duncan is at that stature. Banquo asked them questions about my future and if what they were speaking about was true, but the witches only spoke in riddles. Although I do like the idea of me being the Thane of Cawdor and being king I could never do anything to my friend Duncan who has been such a good friend and leader. Could I..?
