I am very happy and excited because I have been doing very well in war. I have defeated King Duncan in battle and I am proud of myself. Today, I overheard three witches talking about an upcoming obscure battle and then they decided to talk to me. They chanted to me and Banquo and said, "All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!" (1.3.48). At first I could not believe them and I did not want to accept the prophecy, but later, Ross told me that because of being a war hero, I will take the place of Thane of Cawdor! The third witch even said, "thou shalt be king hereafter" (1.3.50). I am so excited, but I am also scared about my the awful fantasy in my mind, "my thought, whose murder is yet but fantastical" (1.3.139).

Yesterday, I've been feeling anxious about being able to kill the king, my wife Lady Macbeth started convincing me for the attack, however I can't do it but I do not have another option. King Duncan's messenger said that he will need to pass the night over at my house and my wife said the king will "never Shall sun that morrow see" (1.5.58). My wife thinks this will be the opportunity to kill the king and maybe I can become king later and take the throne. As a result I know I will not be able to solve this mental problem that I have. King Duncan has been loyal to me and he even told me I was one of his favorite warriors. Once, he even said, "we love him highly", and he was talking about me (1.5.30).

When the time has almost come to commit the murder, I imagined a dagger leading me toward the knight's chamber. The dagger was bloody and it was floating mid-air, but I new it was "proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain" because I was so nervous and overwhelmed (2.1.38). I set out to kill the sleeping king. I also heard a terrifying imaginary voice inside of my head that said, "Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep" (2.2.34). Now I know I will be going to be crowned king! At least I hope so! After I caused this big problem I refuse that I shall be dead by now without getting this punishment by killing King Duncan. After I killed the king, I told Lady Macbeth " I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise" (2.2.14). I'm surprised I got away with it!

When Malcolm and Macduff find out the King is murdered I pretended like I was angry. I pretended to be sad by saying, "O, yet I do repent me of my fury/ That I did kill them" ( 2.3.98 ). I just found out today that I am officially appointed to be King! I am so excited! Because Ross thinks the real murderers are Malcolm and Donalbain, he said, "The sovereignty will fall upon Macbeth" ( 2.4.30). After all what just happened I feel a sense of remorse that it's hurting me deeper into my heart. I also feel bad and I think I shall not deserve to be the King of Scotland, however I do feel another sense of feeling where my mind says the prophecy will become true and it might bring me some punishment on killing the King if they found out who's the real murderer or the responsible one to this cruel action.

Banquo's voices his suspicions of Macbeth but still hopes that the prophecy about his own children will prove true. what I just have notice I couldn't believe that Banquo's sons are busy "I wish your horses swift and sure of foot, And so I do commend you their backs" (3.1.37-38). which by the way I'm worried about banquo's noble nature, wisdom, and valor. meanwhile I see a ghost that appears and disappear some how I've also swear to lady macbeth but couldn't believe it what I was experience it by the ghost she though that I'm just Illusioning. and it just keep going like that for a while I also got into a point where I could resist it and all what I did is scream. after that Lady Macbeth thought maybe I might just need to rest and get a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile there was a dinner party going on where Banquo and Fleance showed up. somehow the slit Banquo's throat and I knew that might tick fleance off. then Banquo's ghost shows up but the ghost was silence, he gets creep around quiet before everyone notices. while everyone is just sitting and busy and noticing I was about to begin to call a special attention to Banquo's absence. in the meanwhile I start to discoursing with the ghost and it disappears. I've even swear to my wife that the ghost was there when I see the ghost returned I scream at him for being so spooky "If I stand here, I saw him" (3.4.73). and tell everyone to stay put. On the next day morning i start to think on Macduff for never showing up at the party.

I'm now try to beware from Macduff and his family "That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies,
And sleep in spite of thunder" (4.1.85). speaking about that things are going crazy between lady Macduff and his husband she tries to think whether or not she should buy a new husband. unfortunately It takes times to decided and figured out to her. somehow the murders arrived and one of them says they're looking for Macduff which by the way they mentioned he is a triador then rumors started to spread telling me Macduff is stabbed and dies.

On the dark stormy night I faced myself with the three witches again I give the witches some props for being able to control the weather and conjured crazy winds that would batter churches and some other stuff going on. I got a point where I just say that I have some questions about my future and I want answers from the weird sisters. they seem to start adding more ingredients to the cauldron saying, "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble" (4.1.10). and then the apparitions begin to appear and each of those were addressing to me all of those figures that I just saw has nothing to fear me from anything.

It seems that a young Scottish men have taken up arms with the English Army. and I knew this is not looking good for me, however everyone thought I might just need to go. "Of all men else I have avoided thee." (5.8.4). but that's not the case I was pumped for the battle I was very thanked to my sisters' prophecy that I can't be beat from anyone who tries. but then I'm not sure what happen but that doesn't sound good someone said they're men coming to kill you at that moment I feel a deep pressure of worriness.

It seems like My wife has been saying and doing some freaky things that I can't even explain on these nightly strolls. but not just that but she also shows up walking make that sleepwalking. "That, sir, which I will not report after her" (5.1.11) I leave a little doubt to myself saying "Out, damned spot!" The doctor says that there's nothing he can do to help her. what I notice It sounds like she probably needs help from a priest, not a doctor.

My wife isn't doing that well at all now things are getting even worse I start to lose my mind. the doctor then reports me she is not sick so much. hearing saying "Here's the smell of the blood still: all the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!" (5.1.40). on the other hand My wife suggest to the doctor to do something and try to cure her as sooner as possible rather than later by the way the doctor seems to not be interested in the amount of money wouldn't convince him to save the life of his wife.

My last chances to live in this world it's almost done. I enter to the war I got into a point of anxiety where Macduff starts to noticing something weird he begin to talk a little trash to me. later on I didn't want to Fight Macduff anymore but I also don't want to be yield. "Thou'lt be afraid to hear it" (5.7.6). Young Siward he stood and fought which that means I die honorably just like a man.

Apparently I had a very rough night. "Who's there? What, ho" (2.2.8). which Macduff found out that King Duncan is dead he tells me and lenox to see the body. I saw that Macduff sounds the alarm to wake the whole castle we were both yelling out loud and everyone starts to run around even my wife and Banquo showed up. everyone start to think who would be so cruel to kill such as innocent King who's objective was to protect his own country. apparently I announced that I kill both guards for the love of my king but apparently, no one thinks it's weird that the guards went to sleep with the bloody dagger at their hands. "I am afraid to think what I have done" (2.2.49).

It was a cloudy and a thunder is coming so dramatic and mysterious when I just saw three witches. It was something that I might have to listen before they go back to their supernatural businesses and that moment when the three witches got their chance to speak to me they said "Fair is foul and foul is fair" (1.1.10)
It was very surprised to me when they mentioned their prophecies that's something it went deep into my heart after hearing that I wouldn't be nominated as the King of Scotland.

It's been a while since Our latest king has now gone. my wife and I started to see stranger things and even bad dreams since the last action that we did together we started to discuss about it but she answers me by saying "what's done is done." (3.2.12). I knew that is something that I have to deal with it I might not even be able to handle it at one point this dark thoughts are not letting me live my best life anymore as a warrior.

My wife receives the letter from me I mentioned her as "dearest partner of greatness" (1.5.9). I told her about the witches' prophecy my wife's worried for have to kill the current king in order to fulfill the witches' prophecy I also told her "too full o'th' milk of human kindness" (1.5.14) and I knew she would go to browbreat into the action. but she seem to be so nervous for some reason. When the messenger arrived to us she knew that the King would only have his last night on earth.

The plan is not a easy task as it sounds like but now that we're here close to the castle at night my wife and I found a way to get into the castle she also said "Who dares receive it other, As we shall make our griefs and clamour roar
Upon his death?" (1.7.79).

I heard that she said the King might not see the sun again anymore. my wife sees duncan's sons and banquo approaching to the castle, she was very charming to them and after that she takes the King to me. somehow I was sitting alone. then what happens afterward the whole thing damned to hell thing. because murdering the king in my own house would be a serious violation of hospitality and I supposed to protect him not kill him in the end I decide that it's probably a good idea to commit murder to a such a decent fellow.

Just in time Banquo and his sons and fleance arrives at the inner court at Glamis close to me and notice that the King of Cawdor which is me should be already be resting peacefully. considering the good news that he got for the day. just for few minutes later everyone leaves and they left me alone to my room just at that moment "Being unprepared Our will became the servant to defect, Which else should free wrought." (2.1.17-18). I was imagining a dagger pointing towards the room where Duncan sleeps and that moment the dagger turns bloody and that point a bell rings and tells me a signal to me and my wife that it's time to rock and roll and get into the action.
