Dear my beloved Macbeth,

I can barely write as sinful tears haze my eyes and blur my vision. Oh, my love of late I haven’t been well as I’ve being in an endless battle with voices in my head and my will to live is unhurriedly perishing. for too long this guilty has haunted me and I can’t bare this burden any longer, Before I depart this mortal realm, I wish to avow to the blood on my hands and the sins that I have committed. These wicked deeds have come to haunt me and all I see are theses endless loops of horrid visions and agonizing screams in my head. Some nights these dreadful nightmares paralyse my sleep and agonize my wake. I can no longer be shadowed by the fear of the truth being exposed. Ever since that cursed letter It gave me an

The image of Duncan painted in crimson is carved within my mind daybreak till dusk a terror I will never escape. Like a serpent of the devil, I lured him into his demise, however through an instant an unfamiliar force so vast struck me and triggered a flash back of a familiar face, the lifeless age man lying on the drenched sheets of crimson blood looking so like my very own father slaughtered by his own blood. Thought we believed, I still think you do, that the kingship will bring us glory and power, it was quite the opposite. It has brought nothing but disgrace and stripped you of our honour. You were once an honoured man but they despise and hated us, Men spit at our name and children cower in their mother’s arms, the fear and plague we have brought upon Scotland and its people is a horror itself. Oh, my love, I beg of you, stop this now and follow me to escape this nightmare of the dreadful abyss. Whatever happened to us? We don’t talk anymore and now I feel as I am just a feather on air. Oh, my love time has altered the love we had for each. Have you forgotten, we were young and so in love, we had so much to live

    Macbeth: Deep Thoughts Yes, I believe that one selfish impulse could lead to a chain of decisions that can reflect on you with lots of pain and anguish.

    Though it was Macbeth who would seize the fame and power, it did not seem that it was her husband’s well­being she had in mind. Rather, she instigated her desires and self­worth through him, formulating a plan despite his hesitance. Macbeth’s final decision, was really not his own, but rather, his wife’s. However, it was Macbeth’s craven that succumbed to his wife and his desires. Nonetheless, beyond the influences and the perpetrator, Duncan had died with an objective; the witches’ unstated intention, the wife’s desire for power, or the seemingly vague, yet undeniable, decision Macbeth had made.…

    In act 2, scene 2, Lady Macbeth shows strong commitment towards the marriage, as she is willing to do anything to prevent Macbeth from being caught. For example, she says "I'll gild their faces...for it must seem their guilt." This shows that she is thinking of him, and ways to reassure him while he is in a panicked state. She tells him to give her the daggers, so her dominant side is taking over in the relationship once again, much like in earlier scenes where she tends to break the feminine stereotype and fit in better with the masculine one. She says "the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures" which means she is saying they look the same, which may give them extra time to cover up the fact that they have killed King Duncan.…

    The Captain, who was at the scene of the battle, describes Macbeth with high praise- ‘For brave Macbeth… Like Valour’s minion carved out his passage’ which suggests that Macbeth fights like bravery personified and doesn’t let anything get in his way. When he faced Macdonald, he ‘ne’er shook hands, not bade farewell to him’ showing that he didn’t waste time and knew his job in the battle. Although the fact he ‘unseamed [Macdonald] from the nave to th’chaps’ is supposed to show his bravery in killing Macdonald, it shows Macbeth as a ruthless killer. This creates mixed feelings from the audience because they either feel he is a brave solider or he is a barbaric murderer. From the descriptions of Macbeth from Ross and the Captain, Duncan seems very impressed.…
