Before I get too far into the horrendous story of my proceeders and their demise, I should introduce myself I am Malcolm the King of Scotland.

Let's start from the beginning when my father Duncan was king one of the best warriors in the land betrayed him in the worst way possible, Macbeth was his name. Macbeth in all his glory was turned to evil upon meeting 3 witches that told him of his future as King. At first Macbeth was going to let life take its course and make him king when Duncan died but Lady Macbeth thought he was being to nice and that plan would take too long so she came up with a plan to murder the King when he came to their home. And so Duncan came to visit but was not going to leave as Macbeth killed him and pinned it on the King's servants. …show more content…

Donablain and I (Malcolm) while in fear of our life's fled to England and Ireland so we would not be murdered. Since I ran away the closest thing to royalty left was Macbeth who then was crowned King in Scone. The lords have told me that they witnessed Macbeth and his wife lose their minds. Macbeth went so bonkers he believed that his best friend Banquo knew that he killed Dunacan and to protect his secret Macbeth hired 3 murders to kill Banquo and his son while they were out on a ride but the murders failed and were only able to kill Banquo while his son got away. By this point in time with out knowing all the details Macduff knew Macbeth was bad news and came to England to convince me to come back and take the throne. Macbeth heard of this act of treason against him and had Macduff's wife and son murdered. Now worried about Macduff coming to kill him Macbeth went to the witches demanding answers in which they told him 3 apparitions: the first was "Beware Macduff; Beware the Thane of Fife.", the second was "none of women born Shall harm Macbeth.", and the third was

Malcolm and Macduff lead a rebellion against Macbeth to free Scotland from his tyrannical mode of rulership. Macbeth is an evil autocrat who slaughters Macduff’s family to “make assurance double sure” (iv.i.82). “Seize upon Fife; give to th’edge o’th’sword/His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls/ That trace him in his line” (iv.ii.150-152). Macbeth is untrustworthy of the witches and their prophecies for him, so he takes matters

For instance, he commits multiple murders after he gets the title of King. The murder of his own friend Banquo, the attempted murder of Banquo's son Fleance, and the murder of Macduff's family all were committed to fueling his growing obsession with maintaining his status and power. Nearing the end of the play, his determination completely takes over him and leads to his downfall. The witches give Macbeth more insight near the end of the play, communicated through visions and apparitions.

Oh, what treachery! And to think of how I have trusted Macbeth, only to now find him standing above me, dagger raised.

Over the last few months, we have been working on different monologues of our choice to perform for an assessment. Initially, I chose one from A Comedy of Errors however due to being familiar with it I decided instead to perform one of Lady Macbeth's from Act 1, Scene 5 of Macbeth. I chose this monologue because I felt it would be enjoyable to play a character who is so strong yet weak at the same time. I also really appreciate the dramatic irony of the monologue because she is asking for spirits to help her be evil and to remove her feelings of remorse, however, she already clearly is very evil and if she truly had remorse she wouldn't be okay trying to have Duncan killed anyway. I knew that Lady Macbeth would be a challenge and involve a

I remember watching Macbeth taking a knee to get the crown placed upon his messy head. He rejoiced and ordered everyone to feast. I couldn't help but notice how hellish he looked. Lady Macbeth looked a little more dull than usual also. Her eyes were soulless.

Macbeth is a tyrant during his rule, manipulating the minds of the people and using murders to clear out anyone that stood in his way, so that he can stay in power.

I think withal…” (Shakespeare 4.3.49-51). Malcolm notices the true state of Scotland under the rule of Macbeth, as he has forcefully gained his

The thick musk scent of dried herbs wafted through the dry air. Macbeth aimlessly bumped into the chamber doors. The “firm-set earth” (II.i.69) resonated Macbeth’s strides as he frantically yet cautiously tried to hide himself. As he tried to control his exasperated panting, he halted his breathing and observed his dim-lighted hall to see if he was being watched. Macbeth repeatedly quenched his parched throat by swallowing.

Macbeth’s impatience for power leads to drastic actions. He murders the king in the belief that “this blow might be the be-all and end-all” (1.7.5). This assassination could never “trammel up the consequence” (1.7.2-3), as Macbeth believes, but only leads to more trouble. Although Macbeth seizes the throne, Macbeth had to betray his loyalty to the king whose “virtues will plead like angels” (1.7.18-19), and his morality has paid the price. Macbeth has now lost all sense of what honor is by using such dishonest ways to become king.
