Diary Entry To Lady Macbeth

     In Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of Macbeth the main character Macbeth is driven from his status as a well respected warrior and lord of not one, but two Scottish regions to a dishonest, unloyal murderer. Macbeth gets caught in a web of lies and vile acts of murder in which he brings about his own demise. His criminal actions lead up to his tragic ending of life. ‘ They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly, But bearlike I must fight the course.’ His great ambition and gullibility of the witches predictions are two of the biggest factors of his downfall;however, Lady Macbeth was probably the biggest influence in the whole tragedy.

Macduff talks to the land of Scotland about Macbeth. He talks about how he should build himself up because the good people are afraid to stand up to Macbeth. He also says Macbeth should enjoy everything he has stolen because his title is safe. What he is saying is the people of Scotland are scared of him and don't want to stand up to him. Macduff knows Macbeth doesn't deserve the crown he wears on his head. Macbeth is a cruel ruler to the country of Scotland. Macduff uses his frustration about Macbeth getting the crown as a technique to get Malcolm to help fight.

Macduff’s burning desire for revenge towards Macbeth was encouraged by many forces. As it is known, Macbeth murders Duncan which causes Malcolm to flee to England because he fears for his life. Following Duncan’s death, Macduff was the first to discover Duncan dead, and it can be inferred that he was so angry and mortified that it sparks apprehensiveness towards Macbeth’s acquiring the throne. As he realizes that he does not agree with Macbeth’s reign, he decides to leave his family behind in Fife to go to England to find Malcolm, the true heir to the throne. His plan is to conspire with Malcolm to build an army against Macbeth. Macduff was so loyal to Scotland and the true ruler that he was willing to abandon his family in the process of freeing Scotland from tyranny. As he meets with Malcolm, Ross delivers the news that

“Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.” – Buddha. Buddha was a wise man and knew that someone who is ambitious can get very impatient when it comes to delaying their plan and having rivals that share the same goals. Ambition is often the result of one good thing happening which leads to one pursuing their dreams more and more. Although ambition can be a good thing, it can also be bad. Twisting people 's judgment on reality and making them perform actions they wouldn 't normally do. Such is the case in Macbeth where ambition causes Macbeth to go through with a murderous plot to become king that involves his wife plotting the murder and going insane. In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare expresses the theme of ambition by

Shakespeare’s play ‘Macbeth’ is about the leading male protagonist succumbing to his ambition and need for power. Though Macbeth is liable for his own actions, he is not solely responsible for the events that eventually result in his downfall. Macbeth is corrupted by his wife, Lady Macbeth, as well as the three weird sisters. Macbeth’s contribution towards his downfall is his strong ambitious nature. Lady Macbeth is the person who induces Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan. The three weird sisters (witches) play with Macbeth’s ambitious nature and sense of security. Macbeth’s downfall is due to himself and two external factors.

He does things that he would never have thought of doing, such as killing Banquo and trying to kill Banquo’s son. And some other things that Macbeth is now doing are affecting all of Scotland, including Malcolm, King Duncan’s older son, and Macduff, a scottish noble that could replace Macbeth as king. When Malcolm is talking to Macduff he suggests that “I am not treacherous. But Macbeth is.” (4.3.21-22), they are talking about how corrupt Macbeth has become due to too much power. Then shortly after, Macbeth goes on a rampage and starts to kill scottish nobles and their family’s so that he can stay king and have his descendants become king after him. One of the family’s that he kills is Macduff’s. Then out of hatred and grief for his family Macduff meets Macbeth at Macbeth’s castle to kill him. Since Macbeth has gained this power as king, the effects of it make him do things that he wouldn’t normally do which leads to him having the feeling of self hatred, “With blood of thine already” (5.8.6) as he says to Macduff after he had killed his family. The effect of too much power leads Macbeth to do things that he wouldn’t have done and away from demonstrating what it means to be a

Macbeth started off as a loyal, strategic brave knight. "What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won."(Macbeth 1:1: 67) He was knnown to do anything to protect his king and country in battle. As macbeth gained power his character began to change. Macbeth grew greedy and became power hungry. The only thing that could satisify his need for power was the crown causing him to put

Our fearless, trusting leader, Duncan, has recently passed. I got news yesterday that he did die in his sleep, but he had been murdered. I was one of the first people to get word of this tragedy. The kingdom of Scotland has been officially broken since such a generous, thoughtful and trusting king has died. All of our hope now lies in Macbeth, Malcom, or Donalbain.

“The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down, or else o’erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires.” (1.4.55-58). The prophecy foretold by the witches promised that Macbeth would eventually become king. However, they never explicitly say how he would gain that position. What this reveals to us is that Macbeth’s lust for power overshadowed his duties as a loyal follower to his own people and King Duncan. Once he obtained the throne, it is shown that Macbeth is willing to do anything he possibly can to keep his spot in the throne, even if it means murdering more people. “Seize upon Fife, give to th' edge o' th' sword his wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line.” (4.1.158-160). At this point, Macbeth’s ego and confidence has risen so high that even if someone were to threaten his spot as king, he could care less if he were to murder Macduff’s wife and

Malcolm is the son of king Duncan. When Macbeth murdered king Duncan, it is only natural the Malcolm should take the throne of Scotland. Malcolm is aware that something is happening. He goes on to suspect Macbeths part in his father’s death. Macduff and Malcolm teamed up to defeat Macbeth. Malcolm joins Macduff’s forces so as to revenge his father’s death.

After Macbeth's death, I Malcolm was named King of Scotland. Macbeth left a huge hole and led a terrible reign. Now I as king, have a job to my people to restore Scotland and build it back up to how it was and erase Macbeth's mistakes. Macbeth was no King, he was so obsessed with power he became a Tyrant. In doing so he caused panic and horror to my people of . After Macbeth's death I now must restore what was once was my home and is my kingdom to rule. I know as king i have a lot of work to do to restore my home and regain my peoples trust but in deed Scotland will flourish once again.

I Malcolm, the new king of Scotland, was crowned right after the death of Macbeth. Macbeth was a cruel king and made everyone suffer during his reign. I believe that I was good king and after my crowning, I had noticed that many people were still unhappy and going through a tough time from Macbeth. The whole world has changed since Macbeth came into power. What Macbeth did was cruel and I had to go through a few steps to restore the peace. I did what any good king would do, which is to be close with everyone. I did not think it was going to be this hard to get back to the happiness they had. I really did gain their trust and made everyone smile again. He had restored peace and order, but there also were some challenges to face. I had feared that people would try to kill me for the throne. Just like Macbeth, he would kill the king to take the throne. I did not trust anyone around me, even my most dearest relatives and friends. I had trouble

First came the pride, an overwhelming sense of achievement, an accomplishment due to great ambition, but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion, the conscience which I once thought diminished, began to grow, soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images, the bloody dagger, a lifeless corpse. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, trying desperately to cleanse myself of the blood. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.

Lady Macbeth is the most interesting and complex character in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. She is, in fact, the point on which the action pivots: without her there is no play.
