Letter To Lady Macbeth
To the love of my life, Macbeth
Macbeth, can you recall when destiny was our ally?
I’ve always known that you were rise to throne after reading the letter from those vile witches. My admiration for your bravery and courage you portrayed in our relationship was long everlasting. It was love at first sight, I guaranteed myself that our relationship would last forever. So much barbarity filled my mind when you revealed to me that you altered your opinion. However, you were too gentle and more regrettable, you were too weak! You were an inch away from perfection, Macbeth, how can you not see? You were such a noble warrior and lead Scotland to victory. There was so much more potential in you, if you’d only stood up to be a man and a bold leader of Scotland.

The sun would be expressing its light, white marble clouds and with a gentle breeze. The more I reminisce, the darker my imagination flows. I always had a vision, just you and me and our milk-fed children striving along the old stony road waving to our old people of Scotland.
It’s Inhumane! Out damned spot! Out, I say. I struggle to wake up every day attempting to smear Duncan’s blood off my palms. I find it so difficult to erase this conundrum, it is the ominous feeling that stirs my stomach and heart. If power were not our ally, we would be sent to exile. Even my arms are suffering from the agony and will always know that I will never feel my soft little palms ever again.
Regret pierces my heart; I am covered in water or tears. I am panicked that reality will keep running from this tranquil room and uncover to the general population. I would wash away the dirty witness and wear a heart not so white, but rather I am not a man. You are! Macbeth, do you see the blemishes on my lips as well? I'm not a lady of disappointment Macbeth. However, now, I am scarcely a

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    My son Malcolm informed me today that the former Thane of Cawdor has died. In my opinion, he got what he deserved after he arrogantly betrayed us. But before dying he asked for my forgiveness and he was deeply sorry. I shall never forgive that traitor and may he burn in hell for his disloyalty. He is a disgrace to his clan and all of Scotland. After a while, my subjects, including Macbeth came. I was so happy with Macbeth, what he did can never be repaid. I praised him in front of my subjects, so they can view him as role model. Banquo's actions were also good but they cannot be compared to Macbeth's actions . Before they left, I made an important announcement. I've declared my son Malcolm to be heir to the throne. From now on he'll be the…

    “You lack the season of all natures, sleep” (III.iv.73), spoken by Lady Macbeth, shows how sleep can mess with a person’s judgment. Ever since Macbeth murdered Duncan, he has been so guilty that he couldn’t sleep. Since he is so sleep deprived, his judgment is impaired. He is paranoid and is killing people left and right. He is so fearful that everyone is trying to overthrow him that he resorts to killing his close friend, Banquo. “There’s blood upon thy face/ ‘Tis Banquo’s then” (III.iv.13-15) is when Macbeth confirms the murder of Banquo from the ‘hit man’ he hired. He was paranoid that because of the witches’ prophecy about Banquo’s descendants becoming king, that Banquo would…

    In the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s, relationship is affected by an act of murder placed upon Macbeth by his wife. Lady Macbeth after this scene shows a very controlling and unappreciative attitude for what Macbeth has done for her, kill King Duncan. She demonstrates in a metaphorical scene described by the Old Man, “A falcon, tow’ring in her pride of place,/Was by a mousing owl hawked and killed” (II. 4. 11-13). This quote is like Lady Macbeth’s unappreciative attitude for Macbeth’s deed for her. She is like the owl that is usual hidden away behind Macbeth, with Macbeth, the falcon who is usually the predator; she attacks him with the responsibility of killing Duncan. By controlling Macbeth, and making him go through with the murder she shows no sign of thankfulness. She tells him to “Go get some water,/And wash [the] filthy witness from [his] hands” after she has scarred him for life (II.…

    I am helpless and powerless. I have failed in my duties of caring for my Queen. I have allowed her to slowly suffer in her tormented mind; I have allowed her spirit to crumble and her soul to be lost forever. I am simply a servant of my Queen; I have tended and comforted her since she married into the Macbeth house. Where as many young girls are worried about their pre-arranged marriage; so too was my lady until she saw Macbeth and swore that she had fallen in love. I have been there by her side for many years; I have seen her fall in love; I have seen her lose her loved ones. I was there the very day we drove away from her family, I sat with her the whole journey sitting quietly as I watched gentle tears fall down her face. It was that day that I saw how strong spirited she was. In my many years of my service and loyalty, I have not before witnessed such dark and dreary things, such crumbling of spirit and soul.…

    Young maidens together unawares that marriage and love in you never discloses a path of lilies and of roses. She, in either cheek, or else so lovely born. Conquering hearts all other beauties longed, she converted love’s infidels beyond her strength. And to tie herself to such a character, Macbeth. Maybe she was in love? Though knowing her I doubt she ever felt herself in danger from ’the whim of some man’. Oh old friend, you are a formidable besmirched woman. You who no doubt gets your own way in all matters, raising your single-minded husband to the highest of men with you dark hand and ambiguous head. What is wrong is right in Scotland now and it’s all your doing. Why must you cause so much pain and rule with the hatred of a beast? The townspeople starve in the streets. The farmers no longer cultivate the crops, too sickly to serve us alone. So much to be ended, to be fixed. They say “What’s done cannot be undone.” (Page. 85,…

    Shakespeare creates a facade when he coats Lady Macbeth with feelings of love and compassion for her husband Macbeth. However, when Lady Macbeth finds out the witches prophesied Macbeth was to become king she immediately thought of ways she could achieve her ambition, committing the sinful act of killing King Duncan was the first to come to mind. Lady Macbeth challenges Macbeths manly hood by stating “It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness” The noun “milk”, a word of purity and motherly love is used to describe how she thinks Macbeth is too soft hearted and cowardly to kill King Duncan, she bullies Macbeth into going along with the plan. Lady Macbeth knew that Macbeth was a warrior and has killed before so she tries to unleash that inner…

    Today is going to be a great day for the history of Scotland. After much tragedy, caused by the greed of the worst kind of men, order will finally be reestablished with the coronation of our new king: Macbeth. I, Ross, and all of the other noblemen of Scotland were invited to his castle for supper as part of the coronation tradition. I have concerns, however, about this whole ordeal, and that concern is shared amongst a handful of the other noblemen. Macbeth is certainly a worthy warrior, and his status in combat is proven and legendary. His capability to lead an empire, though, is not something that will have me rest easy. There is a reason that the warriors and kings are often different people. I hope Macbeth is an exception to this.…

    Lady Macbeth Essay

    In the play “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare the character Lady Macbeth is duplicitous. “…look like th’innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t” (I, vi, 64-65). The snake and the flower was a reference towards Macbeth although it depicts Lady Macbeth as well. Since she is under the same curse as Macbeth, because she has the same name, she is equally affected by the witches as he is. He is captured into the prophecy of the witches and so is Lady Macbeth. She might look kind and loyal to the king but above that, she is masked with greed and ambition. Lady Macbeth’s duplicity is also shown through the black permitting from behind her body. This displays her real true self that is covered by the cracked, masked bewitched image on the top. This was created through the witch’s interpretation of fate. “…look into the seeds of time…” (I, iii, 56)…
