He fought for the king and helped win the battle‚ but once the witches told him that he would be thane of Glamis‚Cawdor‚ and later would become king‚ he found himself beginning to become corrupted by greed and he started to think about how he could kill the king and take the position that was promised to him.

Lady Macbeth held her newly received letter in her hands. Reading it carefully as if the words themselves would run off the pages. “The witches met me on the day of my victory in battle‚ and I have learned that they have supernatural knowledge. When I tried desperately to question them further‚ they vanished into thin air. While I stood spellbound‚ messengers from the king arrived and greeted me as the Thane of Cawdor‚ which is precisely how the weird sisters had saluted me before calling me ’the

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.

Let me in. Please‚ Those faces. They’re not...aagh.” Her voice falters as she leans heavily against the door and jostles the handle. I can hear her gasp and sputter as if water is filling up her lungs. “Very dramatic‚ Lady Macbeth‚” I reply.

Lady Macbeth’s opening words introduce a new level of emotional intensity. Fear of failure has been replaced with fear of discovery‚ and even though she describes herself as drunk with boldness and on fire with passion‚ she is just as easily alarmed as her husband is by the tiniest noises and movements. Her swift changes of thought and speech foreshadow the language of her final lapse into madness in the sleepwalking scene (Act V‚ Scene 1)‚ when she relives these same moments. Yet‚ despite all
