From Macbeth's view...

   I'm still in shock from what happened. The Thane of Cawdor has been sentenced to death after being called a traitor and the King has now given me the position! Then three weird women told me that I was to be king!! Maybe it's just because I came back from a bloody war or just my wild imagination. I told my wife, Lady Macbeth, about the witches and their prophecy and she started to frighten me with her plan to fulfill the scheme. She kept telling me that I had to murder the king and anyone else who stood in the way. Of course, I never wanted to kill anyone, but she kept questioning my desire to be king and my manliness which bothered me a whole lot. I always wanted to be king, but not this way. But I did it. I killed Duncan and now I'm one step closer the being crowned king.
   After all of this, the guilt has been slowly growing inside of me and my wife has been trying to calm me down while still seeming very crazy to me. I feel like sometimes she wants to be queen more than I want to be king. After all, Duncan was a kind friend to me, but it's too late...Now that the plan has started, it can't be stopped. I will soon be king.
