On the day of my victory in battle out of the blue there was thunder and suddenly three witch like sisters appeared in front of Banquo and I and they said
" thou shalt get king, though thou be none. So all hail , Macbeth and Banquo ! " (1.3.67-68). I was very confused with this confrontation, I had never seen these women before. Should I believe what they said to me? For I was already Thane of Glamis , and now they have said , " All hail Thane of Glamis , all hail Thane of Cawdor"(1.3.48-49) Will I also become Thane of Cawdor ? They left me with thoughts of what my future holds. Should I proceed to take forth the prophecies they set?

The thought of killing King Duncan has been roaming my mind. If the witches say becoming king is in my future, than I should set forth to conquer it. "This Duncan Hath borne his faculities so meek, hath been so clear in his great office."(1. 7. 16-18) I just cannot seem to wrap my mind around killing someone as great and noble as he. Should I commit such a murder to secure my prophecy ?

I took advantage of King Duncan's visit to my castle as an opportunity to murder him and secure my prophecy as becoming king. My wife tells me of how the plan will go accordingly, " will I with wine and wassail so convince that memory, the warder of the brain, shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason a limbeck only." (1.7.64-67) She will get his two chamberlains drunk enough so I will be able to go to King Duncan and murder him. My wife says it is the perfect way to plant the murder on his chamberlains and leave us out of suspicion.

Banquo comes to me and tells me he can not sleep, that he keeps dreaming about the three witches. I am still awake at such late hours and I tell him how my wife and I feel as if we did not please our guest like we would have wanted too. Banquo tells me , " all's well, I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters , to you they have showed some truth. " (2.1.19-20) I did not wish to speak of the prophecies at the very moment, but as long as he sticks with me our prophecies will be fulfilled.

King Duncan is now dead and I am carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders. i go to my wife as I walk in and tell her , " i have done the deed, " (2.2.14) I worry that he is not dead and my wife and I will be killed as his attempted murderers. I am too afraid to go back , I have made the mistake and failed at killing Duncan . I did not leave the dagger behind like it was planned, my wife takes matters into her own hands , as she returns she tells me, " a little water will clear us of this deed,"(2.2.65). Yet it seems I still can not come to terms with what I have done, and I tell her , " to know my deed 'twere best not know myself , " (2.2.7) I must forget my conscience and move on. But this guilt is still taking over my mind.

The next morning Macduff and Lennox have arrived to meet King Duncan . I guide Macduff to the door of the room where King Duncan was staying at. Macduff exits his room in horror, there's a terrifying look on his face. Lennox and I ask, " whats the matter," (2.3. 39), he responds with , "confusion hath now made his masterpiece. Most sacreligious murder hath broke ope the Lord's anointed temple and stole thence the life o' th' building."(2.3.58-61) He announces to everyone that King Duncan is now dead and has been murdered. The death has been revealed.

My time to be king is now. After King Duncan's death , my prophecy shall now come true. After all this time, putting myself out there and doing what was necessary to secure my position was worth it. If you want something , you must go out and get out, do not wait and let it come to you. "He has already been named king and has left for Scone to be crowned, " (3.4.32-33)I am now going to be crowned as King of Scotland.

Now that King Duncan is murdered, " to be thus is nothing, but to be safely thus, " (3.1.50) and I must make sure my position as king is secured. I fear Banquo, he is too noble and is willing to do anything and everything without fear. The witches have explained to me that it will be someone outside my family that will take away my position as king , what if its Banquo's sons as kings ! I can not let that happen, " for them the gracious Duncan have I murdered, put rancors in the vessel of my peace ."(3.1.68-70) If it is true and it is Banquo's sons who will take my place, killing Duncan would have been for nothing. I must prevent this and keep anyone from keeping me from being king, Banquo and Fleance both must be murdered. Therefore I have sent my two murderers to go after him and kill them both.

It was during the dinner and at the banquet table where I saw Banquo's bloody ghost, no one else appeared to have seen him , only I could. It startled me to see his ghost appear in front of me. It felt as though it was my guilty conscious was telling me I should not have done what I did and now it is coming back to haunt me. Am I imagining things or is it all real? I tell him , " Avaunt and quit my sight, thy bones are marrowless and thy blood is cold ," ( 3.2.93-94). I feel as if I have gone mad, I was talking to a ghost.

I believe my place as King is in danger of being stolen. I cannot sleep with these thoughts roaming my mind. I shall set forth and demand the witches to guide me. Once I appear, they set me on my way with three apparitions, "beware macduff, beware the thine of fife!" (4.1.71-72), " the power of man , for none of woman born shall harm macbeth ," (4.1.80-81) , " macbeth shall never vanquishes be until great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him, " ( 4.1.92-94). Knowing this, I now know what I shall do to protect my reign and lock in my future.  May the odds be ever in my favor.

I was in the castle with the soldiers when I heard a sound, I was informed by Seyton that it was the sound of women crying. After the first noise, there came a second and this time it was Seyton, he replied and tells me , " the queen, my lord, is dead. " ( 5.5.17) It was not much of a surprise to me to hear that she had died, " she would have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word." (5.5.17-18) My wife had not been feeling well the past couple days, she had been seeing things, repeatedly seen as washing her hands, " yet heres a spot," (5.5.22) , it was not a physical illness but a mental one. The passing of my wife caused very little emotion at the moment, but left me with the empty feeling of life.

I am nonetheless convinced that between my enemies and I , I have nothing to fear. But after I received news about the movement in Birnam Wood, I recall the prophecies from the witches " to doubt th' equivocation of the fiend, that lies like truth." (5.5.43-44)  Do they speak the truth ? " Fear not till Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane, and now a wood comes toward Dunsinane," (5.5.44-46) what I have been told seems to hold truth. As thy enemies approach there is no turning around and avoiding battle, I must go out onto the battlefield and if I shall die, ill die with armor on my back.
