Dearest Beloved Mother and Father, In the short time of serving our mighty King Macbeth, I cannot say anything but good things. Our majesty is nothing less than the kind, honorable, and noble man one would expect him to be. On the contrary, however, there was one particular incident which startled me greatly, and now I am fearful for my own life as well those in the kingdom.
Ere the day before, King Macbeth hosted the most elegant of all banquets in celebration of his crowning. All was well; his servants and I tended to the guests with ease. Without any notice, a mysterious, dark man emerged from the door’s shadow and our King shortly excused himself and proceeded to greet the man, privately. As I neared the end of the table, the two were deep in private conversion; unfortunately, I was unable to effectively eavesdrop. As the suspicious man later turned to leave and his cold eyes met mine for a moment. I was stunned by the mass of red on his

A dark aura surrounded the room; it was obvious on all the guests timid faces, but no one understood why. Continuing to discuss that His Highness's special quest, Banquo, was unable to attend, chills filled me and the hairs on my neck as if a small wind leaked into the chamber. The chills turned to solid ice as our Majesty, AGAIN, cursed and pointed at the invisible being in the chair. His words still ring inside my head, “Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves/Shall never tremble: or be alive again...” Now, however, we were all issued away by Lady Macbeth. Leaving their steaming food abandoned, Lords empty the room instantly, lacking order, and the servants and I aimed toward our wing.
Is our majesty’s sanity being challenged? It is questioned if he will continue his rule. I fear the worst dear parents. Pray you will care for yourselves as I fear I will be returning home soon.
I had received a letter from my husband saying that he ran up into the witches while returning from his victorious battle. He had mentioned that he will be a thane of Cawdor and the king, what an exciting news; This implies that I will be the queen! My great Macbeth is interested as he says about his desire to question them but they vanish into thin air. Great Glamis, worthy Cawdor and king? Can this day get any better? However, he fears that he has too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness. My dearest husband can be foolish sometimes. You know what this means? In Order to demand this murder I have called upon the evil spirits to make me stronger, make thick my blood, and have all of the action of a devil.
15. What does a messenger report that unsettles Macbeth’s sense of security? A moving forest
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to honour a man who was amazing in so many ways. You may have known him since birth, as I have, or you may have only known him a brief time, but in any case, he touched your life. He touched many lives, some with his valiant courage and love, some with his kitchen knives. Although our dear friend Macbeth has passed from this world to the next, there is still much to be learned from him. He always had a kind word for me, and although he was bit intense he was a very special man. His face could have entranced the sirens themselves: such was his beauty and grace. He charmed friends and strangers alike with his wit and
I witnessed something my soul cannot bear. Compunction? Macduff does not have such a heart! I do not even want to begin to comprehend the tragic regicide. Of course, I only ever think; dare to speak as I am in no position to comment; now more than ever. They claim ‘the time is free’, but without Lady Macbeth’s presence, I have no purpose in the Cawdor Castle! What freedom do I now hold? Like that of an Autumn leaf, their popular colours have faded. Those that knew the Macbeth’s fathom their improper and tragic perception of happiness. Then again, who am I to assume their actions were accustomed? Innocence does not run through my veins.
“The bloody idiots woke the maid” Lady Macbeth uttered as she paced throughout her room, “He must have found the weapon, only a fool would miss it. I should have gone, I wouldn't have messed up... If only the poor bastard didn't remind me of my father...”
I’m here to tell you about you king Macbeth. The one you all trust to lead you. He is the most deranged and manipulative person you will ever meet. Why would you trust him to lead you but, you do trust him don’t you he is your heaven almighty isn’t he the one you count on to lead you. Why would you want someone that is going to kill you if you try to suspect him of anything as your king. I need you people to see what i see this demon of a madman with no remorse.
When Macbeth’s conscience continues to torment him when he becomes agitated by an apparation of the ghost of Banquo at a banquet, and pleads, ‘Avaunt! And quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee!’ Lady Macbeth still remains calm enough to cover up her husband’s incriminating performance, by explaining ‘my lord is often thus, and hath been from his youth: pray you keep seat.’
From the way she drank her coffee to the way she organized the papers on her desk. Lady Macbeth was determined to detect any flaw in Elizabeth’s journalism. Two days past before she realized there was almost no imperfection within the Elizabeth’s writings. She became outraged by this discovery because the thought of someone else receiving the promotion felt completely insane. That’s when Lady Macbeth made the decision to finally call an old friend. A familiar voice picked up the phone, that of an batchmate who had a crush on the woman, “Hello Lady Macbeth? It’s the greatest pleasure for you to call after many years. How are you?” She couldn’t waste time with nonsense chat, “You’re a computer genius so I’m certain you will be able to do something quite simple for me.” “Oh, and that simple thing is?” “I need you to search up anything reputation devastating about one of my co-workers,” she hissed clearly agitated by the topic. The woman continued to explain her diabolical plans to the frightened
In the play “Macbeth”, (1623), by William Shakespeare, the playwrighter foretells the tragic story of a man named Macbeth who is pushed to the brink of insanity by supernatural forces, his own spouse, and a greed for power. While on the surface Macbeth appears to be a wicked and heartless man with no regard for those that have been hurt in his warpath and classified as a monster, underneath those perceptions he was a normal man who succumbed to temptation and payed the price for his mistakes. Before the murders and betrayal took place Macbeth had honor, love, respect, and was seen as a decent man; until the witches appeared in his life. They proclaimed to him “All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor...that shalt be king hereafter
It is human nature to be intrigued by all things mystical and dangerous. We fear the unknown but seek it nonetheless out of greed. Most of Shakespeare’s works hold an element of the supernatural and the play Macbeth is no exception. In this play we see a contemporary morality that warns of the dangers of trafficking with instruments of darkness; the witches in the play prophesize of Macbeths future as king, and Macbeth blinded by his hunger for power fails to recognize that the witches prophecies are luring him to evil . In act 1 scène 3 we see the effect that the excitement of the prophecies has had on his imagination as he begins to contemplate murdering the king. As Macbeth gets closer to
Julio Villarreal English 4-W Professor Zirulnik January 18, 2015 The Tragedy of Macbeth Macbeth and his wife invite thanes of Scotland to a banquet with means of proving themselves throne-worthy. Much like the ethereal dagger that leads to Duncan's room, the ghost of Banquo appears at the banquet constantly, pushing Macbeth into random fits of rage and despair. Macbeth’s first order of events as a king is this exquisite banquet, a supposed representation of great discipline and benevolence, which becomes a wicked mockery of itself. Instead of Macbeth gathering with his subjects as he would wish, he is thrown off by the bloody apparition of his former ally. Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel tackles Macbeth in a true-to-the-origin fashion in
I am writing to you today because I have heard many concerning things pertaining to you. If this is true, Macbeth, I beg you with everything I have not to follow through with this disastrous task. You are one of my closest friends and I would be distraught if something terrible happened to you. I cannot bear to see you go through with something so absurd, Macbeth. You have so much going for you- you have a wonderful wife and you are going to become king. You are going to jeopardize not only your future, but everyone else’s around you. Cheating your way to the throne will not make you superior, nor will lying about the act. King Duncan is loved by so many people, myself included.
The wind was as sharp as glass cutting through my fur cloak and breaches. My muscles would stiffen with ever fresh gust that sliced down my neck. I had lived my whole life in Scotland yet this Autumn eve was the most numbing I could remember for a long time. I had never been to Macbeth's castle before yet it’s reputation preceded it. “A castle fit for a King!” Was what a young squire who grew up under the shelter of its walls had told me. I myself had never been a great believer in sprawling intimidating castles. After all Scotland was at peace under my rule. Apart from tat one little spat with the Thane of Cawdor i prode myself on the fact that my subjects feel safe under ym rule. On this night I'm sure it will do I thought to myself anything
The ceremony seemed as if it were going to be elegant and pleasing. There were an equal number of thanes on each side of the table. The king presented himself honorably as he sat down with the rest of us to “play the humble host” and announced that Lady Macbeth would keep her state. However not long after that things began to get strange. A dirt and bloody man
This is outstanding praise from the king, but it confuses the audience. We have heard of Macbeth twice now, but both views contradict each other. The mystery surrounding Macbeth intensifies and we are curious to find out more about his character.
