honourable Macbeth belongs to me as I belong to him. And what a man he is! A brave Scottish general‚ Thane of Glamis‚ now Thane of Cawdor. Titled and respected‚ a faithful husband to me. He is driven‚ truly so‚ but he is consumed by whispers of self-doubt. And how a seed sowed is reaped! But potential he has‚ running through his blue-blood‚ to rule – to be a King.
