Act 5 Scene 3: I can't take this anymore!

I found out why I have been so tired when I wake up everyday. I am so guilt ridden about the murder of Duncan that I have been sleepwalking. Yes, I said it, I sleep walk at night. I wake up every night and light a candle. I fiercely wash my hands. I scrub them until they bleed and are peeled. The blood of Duncan is still all over my body. I can smell it, feel it and see it. Only my guilty eyes can see it though, and perhaps Macbeth can see the blood all over me as well. I can’t live like my life like this anymore. All I wanted was power and higher status. I wanted my lover, Macbeth, to actually be happy and loving life. Everything we wanted has turned on us and we now have to suffer. I have so much guilt in me that I do not want to live any longer. I love Macbeth with all my heart, but the guilt is eating me away. I sleepwalk countless hours in the night just because I am worried that Duncan will come back to haunt us. We are bad people. What we did was so wrong and we should be punished for it. Macbeth doesn’t deserve to be King and I don’t deserve to be Queen. All of our planning and hiding our secrets has ruined our lives and we will pay for it. I will take my own life tonight…I am not worthy of living anymore!

P.S. Karma is a real thing!

Act 3 Scene 4: The Ghost

I think my husband has gone crazy. Actually, I know he has gone crazy! He told me today that he talked to Banquo’s ghost. I didn’t believe him at all. Our guests, who were there for supper, were very worried. They had no idea what Macbeth was doing. They thought that my husband was crazy. He looked like he was talking to himself or talking to a chair. I tried to make an excuse so they didn’t think Macbeth was crazy. I tried to tell them that I occasionally had “visions” like that too. I also told them that they should just ignore Macbeth, and not look at him. When our guests left I was enraged. Macbeth’s actions embarrassed me in front of our guests. I started yelling at Macbeth. I questioned his manhood and told him to snap out of his trance. It’s embarrassing to see my husband talking to an empty chair. He swears to me that it really was Banquo’s ghost. I don’t really believe him, though. He is just paranoid and guilty about all his events in her life lately. The ghost even came back while our guests were over. It shocked Macbeth and he started acting weird again. I made our guests leave and when I did that the ghost left. I don’t understand all of these bizarre things happening to us. I just want them to go away…

Act 3: I feel the guilt

I have a bad feeling in my stomach lately. You know that feeling you get when you know something is wrong and not right. It’s like I have knot in my stomach that just won’t go away. I’m having trouble sleeping at night, but I don’t wake up. I just feel almost exhausted in the morning. I feel like I haven’t slept all night. I know I am sleeping, though. The gilt from Macbeth murdering Duncan is dawning on me. I know Macbeth is scared, probably more scared than I am. I try to put on a face of how I don’t care but I really do. I don’t want Macbeth to see me worried. My lover has too many things going on in his life now, that he can’t worry about the past. I can take all the stress for Duncan’s death. I know Macbeth wouldn’t have even done it if it wasn’t for me pushing him. I pushed him into doing it. I regret it immensely and I know it was wrong of me. Macbeth should be a man and take his own actions, but he is soft at heart and knows what is right and what is wrong. I am sick of playing this mean and cruel woman. I do have feelings and they are coming back to haunt me right now. I wish we wouldn’t have killed Duncan. I want to wash my hands clean of his blood and move on. However,I realize it is not that easy…

Act 3: Is it even worth it?

I have no idea where Macbeth has gone. It is really irritating me. My one and only love has slipped out of my sight. I called a servant to room to ask of Macbeth’s whereabouts. The servant told me that he will go fetch Macbeth. So my lover finally came upstairs to see me. I could tell that he was all mixed up inside. He didn’t know what to do. We talked about what was actually bothering him. He said that is mind is “full of scorpions”. It makes me so sad to see my lover feel like this. I feel like it is my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed him so hard to kill Duncan. It’s eating away at both of us. Now Macbeth is talking about killing Banquo. My lover says that he can’t trust him anymore and that he must die too. Macbeth said that he isn’t going to kill Banquo on his own. He’s going to hire a few murderers to do the job for him. I don’t know how he is going to convince people to kill a human being, but he said it will get done. I have had just about enough of this murdering going on. I can’t believe were doing all this just to be King and Queen. Don’t get me wrong I love the power and publicity, but it almost seems like it’s not even worth it.

Act 3 Scene 1: King and Queen

My lover Macbeth and I are now King and Queen. We parade around in out highly expensive attire. We’re having a party for our crowning. Banquo, who is Macbeth’s better half, is invited. Macbeth and Banquo need to discuss problems with Malcolm and Donalbain. Macbeth told me today that Malcolm and Donalbain have fled to Scotland. They are plotting against Macbeth becoming King. I can tell Macbeth is glad that he is finally King, however the murder of Duncan is fresh in is mind. I haven’t really mentioned the murder of Duncan to Macbeth. I’m afraid if I bring it up, he will go crazy from the guilt he is building up inside. There hasn’t been much time for either of us to reflect on what we have done. We have had balls, parties and the crowning since Macbeth is King now. There is a lot of pressure and eyes watching us. No one really suspects us for murdering Duncan, but it is apparent that we are happy to have our new power as King and Queen. I hope people don’t start figuring out that it was us. I do feel guilt in a way for what we have done. I sometimes feel like it is my fault and not Macbeth’s. I pushed Macbeth into doing this. He most likely would have chickened out if it wasn’t for me. I’m scared what our future will be ahead of us. We will all have to wait and see.

Act 2 Scene 2: Comforting my paranoid husband

Macbeth has done the deed. He has killed King Duncan. I am sure that no one has seen Macbeth do the deed. I got the guards drunk and they passed out sick. They were laying all over the floor, and they had no idea what was going on. Macbeth killed Duncan by using a dagger. He stabbed Duncan many times. Blood was everywhere. It was a gross sight and I will never forget it. My lover, Macbeth, was covered in blood. I was always covered in Duncan’s dark red blood. We washed away the blood quickly with water. The blood was clearly vanished from everything, but I felt like it was still all over me. Macbeth began to worry. He worried that one of the drunken guards had woken up and that they saw Macbeth doing the slaying. I kept reminding him that they were passed out the whole time. Macbeth started to get extremely paranoid. He starting saying that killing Duncan was a mistake and now he will lose sleep. He just a worrier and when he is unsure about something he panics. No one saw us kill Duncan, I am sure of that. If they did we would be in some real bad trouble. I don’t want Macbeth to worry. The more he worries, the more I am afraid that he will go insane. Macbeth has nothing to worry and neither do I. Everything is going to be okay. Our power that we want is only a few days away!

Act 1 Scene 5: Duncan is Coming

I found out a surprising fact today. A messenger brought to my attention that King Duncan is coming to my house tonight. My loving husband, Macbeth, wants to be King. He doesn’t want Banquo to be King or anyone else. Not even Banquo’s sons, which the witches said would be head of the thrown in the future. My husband, Macbeth wants to be King and he will be King. I want him to be king. Whatever my lover wants, he will get. I one hundred percent support Macbeth in whatever he wants. Macbeth’s ambition is so strong to be King that he is going to take Duncan’s life. I know, this sounds very far fetched but I support Macbeth. Duncan is coming to our house tonight and it will be Duncan’s last night of his life. I understand this is cruel and wrong, but power is much more important that what is right. I want Macbeth to have power because I love power. I want it and so does he. Therefore we will have it. If killing an innocent is what we need to do to get it, then so be it. Duncan will die tonight, however we will not get caught. We’ll cover up our tracks and blame it on the drunken guards. Macbeth will be King and we will rule over all the people. It sounds complicated, but it will be easy and nothing will go wrong for us. I love my Macbeth and he will be King after tonight.
