THE DIARY OF MACBETH
THE DIARY OF MACBETH

Before The Murder

I still remember the witches and their prophecy and I am not sure what to make of it. Should I tell my wife? I believe I should but what will she make of it, she is an ambitious women and will be thrilled to find out the news or at least I think she will. But why would she not be happy to find out, that in my future I will no longer a thane, but I will move on to bigger and better things. For my future is foretold that I will become King of Scotland. But how am I to achieve this. Duncan is a friend of mine and trusts me like a brother. How could I deceive him, however although I enjoy our friendship I do not believe him to be fit for the throne. I am the one who should be in charge, to lead the people of Scotland to glory. I deserve the thrown. How can I have these thoughts they are thoughts of evil. King Duncan doesn’t deserve this treachery. He is the King, the man chosen from God to lead the Scottish people. I do not know what I should do, but when I talk with my wife we shall decide together. She usually knows what is right. For now I will try to get a good sleep and think about the long journey back home.
During The Murder

As I put the pillow to Duncan’s chest I felt sick, I felt like no one could or should trust me. For Duncan is my friend, what would my friends think. So I put the dagger down and quickly thought of turning back. He saw me and when I saw the look in his eyes, I knew then he wouldn’t forgive me if I I just left he would most likely send me to prison. So I built up all my courage and stabbed the dagger through his chest, then a second time through his heart to make sure he was dead. I ran back to room where my wife was. As I got back I had realised I had forgotten to frame the guards and cover up my tracks. Because I was to shocked with what I have done I was devastated and had partially lost my mind I couldn’t complete the deed, so my wife had to cover my tracks. I felt less of a man but what was done

    Duncan is now dead and I am now king. Even though I am the new ruler, my heart will not rest. I am the one who has committed this horrible deed. I snuck into his chamber in the dark hours of the night and stabbed a dagger through his chest. I will never forget the look on his face. Murderer, I am a cold blooded murderer and I am debating if this decision was worth it. The amount of guilt I feel is overwhelming. The only one who can reassure me that this was not a poor decision is my dearest Lady Macbeth. She knows that I deserve that throne so I am also trying to focus on that. I cannot help but wonder if anyone suspects me to be the one who commit the crime! Banquo is my friend but what if he figures out our plan? He was with me when the witches told me I shall be king. I must depart to my bed and try to rest now so I do not over think my current situation.…

    Ever since King Duncan’s death; turmoil, corruption and treachery have all poisoned the castle. It has corrupted my soul, it has changed my beliefs and in some regards, I have lost my faith. I am merely a servant; I am not one to judge, but I have seen and witnessed many things. It seems the presence of a servant is forgotten. That I do not have ears and eyes; that I do not see as others do. The only thing that keeps my tongue still is the love I have for my lady. I would not say I am clear on this fact, but it is in my belief that my lady assisted in the death of King Duncan. Since his death, I have watched her sleep, she has uttered strange and foul words, her actions are not normal. If any others saw her, they would say she is possessed and in my own mind, I, too, could believe that.…

    What am I to Duncan? A brave, capable warrior, raising his heroic sword on the battlefield, a nobleman who fought the Norwegians and protected the country, the worthiest Thane of Cawdor. Am I no more than a corrupted man, whose morality is blinded by ambition, who chooses to go against nature and kill his own king? I now carry responsibilities towards Duncan, who is in double trust. First, I am his kinsman and his subject, which are both strong reasons for not carrying out the deed, then, I am his honorable host, I cannot bear the knife myself.…

    What is the common denominator between the Colorado shooting and Shakespeare’s Macbeth? Blind ambition. It’s what drive people now and then use to motivate themselves to do things they want to. Macbeth relates to our society as demonstrated by the theme blind ambition. Some current day issues that show the blind ambitious side of people are; events such as the Colorado shooting at the movie theatre, Hitler causing a genocide, and in general how people will do anything they have to in order to get what they want. In Macbeth, you see the takeover of a country and the riddance of their values and honor all for someone’s desires; and in the end it all backfires with the death of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.…

    Many times people do things based off of motivation; in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare everyone motivates Macbeth to become a powerful evil individual. Macbeth is clearly motivated to a whole new level when he is given a lot of power of authority, but along the way he transforms that power into something bad, almost evil. Witches have many tricks up their sleeves and predicting the future is one of them. People always get an urge to want to do something, but it could get out of hand quickly. A general stereotype is that all women are controlling, in Macbeth this statement is true. Between the witches trying to influence Macbeth, Macbeth is becoming power thirsty, and his wife’s strong persuasive voice, he begins to turn evil.…

    Hurt people hurt people. This is what induces a cycle of revenge and somehow our species rejoices at the thought of “a tit for a tat”; finds happiness it even. Incidentally, Shakespeare’s play Macbeth focuses on characters thirst for vengeance. Some today may say its justice, but justice has a way of being twisted and induces to fit the needs of the moment and therefore better suit the definition of revenge. People have an innate need to seek revenge.…
