Examples Of Persuasive Letter To Macbeth
Castle Inverness Scotland

March 15, 1040

Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor, Inverness, Scotland.

Dear Macbeth:

I have been enlightened of your conniving plan to take Duncan’s life with the aid of your wife, in order for his title of King of Scotland to be your own. As someone who has been by your side through not only all the pleasant memories, but as well as through all the hardships. I consider us, the closest pair of friends, so with this, I implore you to reconsider your ploy, you should not murder King Duncan, for you must consider the possibility that this is not the right path for you to receive the title, furthermore how could you plot to kill the man who has shown you nothing but goodwill and honor?

Macbeth, there is no way to be certain
…show more content…
Think of all the people who adore him so, along with how much generosity and appreciation he has shown and treated you with. From when he bestowed the title of Thane of Cawdor upon name, to when he praised you for all the efforts you dedicated towards the battlefield. How he spoke to be happy to honor you! Think of the people of Scotland, and how they will perceive and closely evaluate all your movements and decisions, they may compare all that you do, to what their King would have done. Additionally, you must be conscious of all the goodwill and praise King Duncan has addressed you with. Even when your roles were inverted and you were his host, all his generous remarks, even then, did not stop. You must recall the moment where you brought King Duncan into your home, and how he exclaimed nothing but favorable and benevolent remarks about your home. Speaking of how pleasant the space your castle was located alongside, how the air was so sweet and appealing, how gorgeous it was in full, along with his admiration of your wife, even expressing his love for you as well. He has consistently praised your combat skills on the battlefield, awarding you with superior titles. How could you so heartlessly plan the demise of a man who has expressed nothing but his adoration and gratitude for you so freely? You must see how inhumane and selfish this plan of yours amounts to be. Have compassion for him, the very same compassion King Duncan has shown you. Do not proceed with your plan, Macbeth, it is too

    Therefore Duncan's death would not be favored by any one, it will be as an act of betrayal and disloyalty, not relief. With Macbeth committing murder, he risks his honor; Macbeth has been proven to be a loyal and honorable noble. If the murder leads Macbeth back to the investigators, Macbeth's life will be ruined. Macbeth's wife helps him to reconsider the effects of killing Duncan. While being king, Macbeth will be more powerful than a noble.…

    “Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee!” (2.3. 74). Thy greatest king hath been murdered. Thoughts of sorrow and wondering have filled thee. Who wouldst do such a thing? Was thy host not watchful enough with the most honored man in his presence? Maybe thou should have stayed with his Majesty for he is of the highest nobility and honor possible. Who ever hath committed this crime is guilty of murder and treason. Oh! The people, the people! What shall become of them without thy leader? Will the criminals roam the streets, with the people fearing to leave their homes? All of these are questions with no answers! I do believe it’s my turn to step in and allow myself the privilege of discovering which fiend it was that hath murdered his Majesty, the king. At first, it was thought to be the beast like guards who stood outside the king’s chamber. It deeply concerns me as to why Macbeth would dispose of them so soon after the death of his royal highness without the chance to probe their minds with questions and make them face the rest of Scotland as those whom betrayed their leader. Maybe it was the sons of the great Duncan which have set up the murderous plot to gain the throne for their own selfish purpose. The fact that they have left the country and fled in opposite directions is beyond my knowledge. If they wanted to be king, why murder your own father and flee to a different country…? What about the recently promoted Thane of Cawdor? He holds much too great of an honor and sincerely respected Duncan. But still, he did murder the guards; maybe he was hiding something like a vital piece of information. Now that I think of it, if I had been the one in Macbeth’s position, I too may have lost my temper. In the wise words of Macbeth, “Who can be wise, amazed, temp’rate, and furious,/ Loyal, and neutral, in a moment? No man.” (2.3. 27-28).…

    My son Malcolm informed me today that the former Thane of Cawdor has died. In my opinion, he got what he deserved after he arrogantly betrayed us. But before dying he asked for my forgiveness and he was deeply sorry. I shall never forgive that traitor and may he burn in hell for his disloyalty. He is a disgrace to his clan and all of Scotland. After a while, my subjects, including Macbeth came. I was so happy with Macbeth, what he did can never be repaid. I praised him in front of my subjects, so they can view him as role model. Banquo's actions were also good but they cannot be compared to Macbeth's actions . Before they left, I made an important announcement. I've declared my son Malcolm to be heir to the throne. From now on he'll be the…

    Given this prophecy, Macbeth feels entitled to the position. However, when Duncan appoints Malcolm Prince of Cumberland, Macbeth begins to have "black and deep desires." (1.4 l.58). Instead of leaving it up to fate like he first decided, Macbeth feels that he must overcome Duncan’s choice. He then immediately thinks of murder to obtain the role of king. Although he is extremely hesitant in his decision and seems to back away from it multiple times, in the end he goes through with it. Him, and no one else kills Duncan. The witches and his wife, do have significant roles in giving him the idea and convincing him to commit regicide, but he is the only one in control of himself, so he ultimately makes the decision to kill Duncan. Therefore, his ambition becomes the decider and catalyst for the regicide. No matter how much his wife questions his manliness, Macbeth’s ambition becomes the only thing able to overcome his hesitancy long enough for him to to commit…

    Today is going to be a great day for the history of Scotland. After much tragedy, caused by the greed of the worst kind of men, order will finally be reestablished with the coronation of our new king: Macbeth. I, Ross, and all of the other noblemen of Scotland were invited to his castle for supper as part of the coronation tradition. I have concerns, however, about this whole ordeal, and that concern is shared amongst a handful of the other noblemen. Macbeth is certainly a worthy warrior, and his status in combat is proven and legendary. His capability to lead an empire, though, is not something that will have me rest easy. There is a reason that the warriors and kings are often different people. I hope Macbeth is an exception to this.…
