On my slide, I chose to have a picture of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s castle.…
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…

“You lack the season of all natures, sleep” (III.iv.73), spoken by Lady Macbeth, shows how sleep can mess with a person’s judgment. Ever since Macbeth murdered Duncan, he has been so guilty that he couldn’t sleep. Since he is so sleep deprived, his judgment is impaired. He is paranoid and is killing people left and right. He is so fearful that everyone is trying to overthrow him that he resorts to killing his close friend, Banquo. “There’s blood upon thy face/ ‘Tis Banquo’s then” (III.iv.13-15) is when Macbeth confirms the murder of Banquo from the ‘hit man’ he hired. He was paranoid that because of the witches’ prophecy about Banquo’s descendants becoming king, that Banquo would…
O’, why has my Lady cried out? Why must she grow frail and bent, feverishly consumed with such terrifying thoughts night and day? Her delusion must be of another tragedy from the past; that damned spot she had said, with blood too! Of course, I have my suspicions that such an event would ensue in the passing away of Duncan.…
Your Highness’ part / Is to receive our duties, and our duties / Are to your throne and state children and servants, / Which do but what they should by doing everything / Safe toward your love and honor” (1.4.25-30). Once again, Macbeth’s loyalty to the King is a key example of what supplement his excellence in leadership. Finally, Macbeth has gallant and shows determination when King Duncan states, “True, worthy Banquo. He is full so valiant. / And in his commendations I am fed: / It is a banquet to me. -Let’s after him, / Whose care is gone before to bid us welcome. / It is a peerless kinsman,” (1. 4. 61-65) also implying that he highly respects Macbeth. In conclusion, Macbeth is admired for his outstanding characteristics of leadership that include loyalty, trust, courage, and…
When I went back to put the daggers i saw him i saw Duncan's body and as i did a force hit me as i woke up my hands were full of blood Duncan's blood I washed and washed until my my skin ripped off.

I haven’t seen you this mad before I know that the fault is somewhat mine…

Macbeth was known as a loyal and mostly honored man in the first beginning. The witches predicted great things for him. From reading the book he seemed so great. Throughout the scenes he starts to change and act different. Macbeth has this mindset to kill Duncan so that he can be king. He wants power and is very greedy for power and was willing to kill him to get it. It made the reader vision him in a more selfish and hunger for greed way.…
Macbeth: Thank you, thank you. I am honoured. It is sad that we’ve lost Duncan. But he would want us to move on with life. I will do my best to keep up Scotland’s great reputation. I know I’m not the heir to the crown, but I will do all that I can to keep Scotland running smoothly. I have always looked up to King Duncan, I hope you all can look up to me.…
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?…
