Macbeth- Act 1 Journal for Lady Macbeth
Act 1 Journal Jabie H. (Scene 5) Journal of Lady Macbeth: After reading the letter Macbeth sent her.

“Blue Jays play dumb and dumber, with and without Yunel Escobar: Perkins”. Toronto Star Thu Sep 20, 2012. Website.

My dear Macbeth is now the thane of Cawdor and has been promised to be ‘the future king’ by the three witches, oh how wonderful this is! ‘Queen Lady Macbeth’ I can already feel the royal power. But wait I do worry if Macbeth really has what it takes to capture the crown, even if he has the ambition he does not have the guts to do things that are foul and get the crown. Macbeth is far too kind and naïve to go out his ways, just like he was five years ago when he first confessed his love to me, I told him I needed more time, I knew he would come to good use of mine. I never had the eye for Macbeth but I knew I could get power if I married him, since his father was the thane of Glamis, I knew he would inherit the position when his father passes away, but I am not good with patience, when there is a chance to get power I want it done as quickly as possible. When I heard the news that the thane of Glamis fell really ill, I agreed to marry Macbeth under one condition that he would poison his father and inherit the position as the thane of Glamis, and of course Macbeth was easy to convince, since he was madly in love with me. When it came to play the game of power, Macbeth plays dumb and dumber, it was time to give his father the poison, I was watching him that night as he was pouring the poisoned water in his father’s cup, that’s when I saw hesitation in his eyes and his eyes started to tear, I knew he couldn't do it and would tell

    “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).…

    Wells, Catherine. www.sff.net. Special Libraries Association. Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. (2007). 19 January 2010. Macbeths father was Findlaech, the Mormaer of Moray, and his grandfather was Ruadhri. In 1020, Findlaech was challenged for rule of Moray by his two nephews, Malcolm and Gillecomgain, and killed. Malcolm then became ruler in Findlaech's place. Macbeth would have been 15 at the time, and quite possibly in fosterage somewhere outside of Inverness, the capital of Moray. It was the common practice of nobles to have their sons fostered from age 7 to age 17, the "age of choice." Macbeth returned to his home upon turning 17, there to gain…

    In the Tragedy of Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare uses the character of Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, to portray the progression of corrupt characteristics of human greed and ambition; such as his thirst for power, to be Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth is already a Thane, but once the Witches reveal to him and Banquo of a promising prophecy that revealed him becoming Thane and King of Cawdor, Macbeth soon falls into human folly.…

    "Bring Forth men-children only! For thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males."(I, vii, 73-75) Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most frightening and strong female characters. She is ambitious, lusts for power and will stop at nothing for it; she is truly evil. This is evident when she asks evil spirits to come unsex her, when she tries to manipulate Macbeth into committing a most sinful crime, and that she is actively part of the crime also.…

    I needed to leave the table. They all were having a feast, yet my mind is not thinking straight. The night has been chaotic.

    In the play “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare the character Lady Macbeth is duplicitous. “…look like th’innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t” (I, vi, 64-65). The snake and the flower was a reference towards Macbeth although it depicts Lady Macbeth as well. Since she is under the same curse as Macbeth, because she has the same name, she is equally affected by the witches as he is. He is captured into the prophecy of the witches and so is Lady Macbeth. She might look kind and loyal to the king but above that, she is masked with greed and ambition. Lady Macbeth’s duplicity is also shown through the black permitting from behind her body. This displays her real true self that is covered by the cracked, masked bewitched image on the top. This was created through the witch’s interpretation of fate. “…look into the seeds of time…” (I, iii, 56)…

    I cannot help but find myself thinking about the three witches prophesies. Part of me thinks it is complete nonsense that I will become king of Scotland. The other part of me thinks it could be so. To accomplish the position of king I would need to commit murder. My dearest Lady Macbeth urges me to control my own future and murder Duncan to obtain the position. But to imagine myself, dagger in hand, scares me. Our plan seems foolproof but, if we should fail, I will surely be executed. Lady Macbeth will get Duncan’s guards drunk so that they will pass out. Then I will creep into the king’s room and kill him. Is it worth it to try? I am very worried that I will regret this decision, even if I do become king. I will have deceived an innocent man but Lady Macbeth is convinced that I deserve the throne. How can I even be considering these poor, evil thoughts? I have not decided yet what surely will happen but soon I will.…
