Macbeth: Lady Macbeth's Suicide Note
I was a woman, a loving caring woman... Once...

My dearest loving husband I print these words now, not in joiece or good tidings but sorrow, regret, and unhallowed circumstances.

I pray my kinsman that you will hear my deep lament let it resound without malice or enmity.
Hark, let my regret rest unto your hearts and minds, be sure that you do not mistake my foolishness for my true self.
Avarice.... avarice took ahold of my disposition of my soul of both our souls, so strong it was palpable and weighed more than my own weary, mortal soul.
I feel horrors, horrors I cannot escape as long as I remain in this mortal realm... When I saw Duncans body... A force hit me, greater than you can fully imagine...
I wake, my hands soaked in my peers blood, I bathed and scrubbed my hands until my feeble skin would fall from my unsanctified bones, but as I yield, I see the blood running thicker than the water I’d use to purify myself.
Nought would allow the indissoluble liquid to strip itself from my broken now mortified body, I wonder whether it was truly there or if what I tried to wash was a figment of my fragmented, disjointed consciousness, repaying my own acts of dire, pernicious treachery.
Since, I feel empty, hollow, I love you my darling, but I now feel that our love, our bond is no longer as strong... I feel disconnected from thee, I wish only now for thee to love me as strongly as the day we wed.
I know full well I am not the only one of us to be haunted by these nightmares, you too hath been deprived of precious sleep, I’ve seen you cowering in your own imagination, seeing unhallowed ghosts.
I have no choice to add that I know you are no longer your own self, I’ve not seen you this mad before, I know the fault is partially my own, but you are no longer yourself, the man I loved would not destroy his friends, would not kill those closest to him from fear they would undo him.

I see I have no choice, Scotland is at war with you, the blood of innocents

    My lungs became a still sea, without a hint of a breeze. My mouth morphed into a dry, barren dessert. My heart began drenching my blooding with adrenaline. Yet, I took further irrevocable steps towards the door, as if an omnipotent force controlled my body like a puppet. Ferociously greeting me was quaint doll, adorned with a Victorian gown, sitting across a table of what seemed to be a small playroom.…

    “...I will commence this holy day by writing to you. My heart is filled with gratitude to Almighty God for His unspeakable mercies with which He has blessed us in this day, for those He has granted us from the beginning of life, and particularly for those He has vouchsafed us during the past year. What should have become of us without His crowning help and protection? Oh, if our people would only recognise it and cease from vain self-boasting and adulation, how strong would be my belief in final success and happiness to our country! But what a cruel thing is war; to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbours,…

    Naked and vulnerable; my deep, dark secrets exposed to the world. Taking pleasure in deep thought; baring my heart and retched soul. A swine wallowing in its own filth. Letting my mind travel into the depths of Hell, only to crawl back out again. Consumed slowly by the fires and desires of smoldering demons that rip me apart to escape the sanity of the insane madness that consumes me, rising upward to spew forth as word vomit. Halt it, I cannot. It escapes through my pen to be viewed coffin-like when the page is turned……

    I cannot stand the hurt in my bleeding heart anymore. John, oh John, it would be easier if you left your wife and flower out the purity of our love with me. We could leave; go to a place where we will be satisfied for the rest of our lives. But you broke my heart. I tried to couple with you. I still remember my accelerated heartbeat when our bodies came closer; you should have kissed me. But you did not. Instead, you do not want to know anything about me. I truly thought that you would fall in my arms. And I did not feel guilty about our forbidden love for one breath of my life. I would do it again, just for you John, for our love. I never felt such true love in my life. I never had a mother who would love me no matter what happens. You were the only light in my life. And this light disappeared when you decided to turn your back on me. You cannot resist me, I know that. You still love me, you have to love me, and I am the only one for you. So I will do whatever it takes to reunite with you again.…

    The arrow that Cupid had fired at you ricocheted and sunk into my willing flesh. It was a one way relationship, with me loving you and you pushing me away. My life became a slideshow in my head as the days silently slipped by, my mind filled only with thoughts of you. Every morning I would walk alone amongst the grove of sycamore trees, living as if I were dead. Penned in my room throughout the day, I created an artificial night, where I spent countless hours staring into empty space. Why do you not love me like I love you? There is but one clear image in my mind, and that is the image of your face. The beautiful, flawless face that I have loved since the moment I laid my eyes upon you. Everyone else is but a foggy…
