Today I had met with Macbeth and learned from some ugly witches that Macbeth will become King. The witches looked to be of a strange sort, I said to them, //you should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret you that you are so.// I'm not jealous, but everything seems to go his way. Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and now these witches prophesize about him becoming king. I respect the man, but I think that I also deserve some glory. At least my children will get to become kings, if the three, disgusting witches' prophecy is correct. I think those witches are creepy and I’m not too sure if they really know what they're talking about although they are right about Macbeth becoming the Thane of Cawdor. Those witches are eerily right and it frightens me that the prophecy about Macbeth is that he will become King because the only way that will happen is if King Duncan's death is caused by him. I'm not sure if he will become King though. I do not believe that Macbeth would bring it upon himself to slay King Duncan. He's too loyal and respects him too much. I'm a little frightened that the prophecy will get to Macbeth and then he will want to make sure that it comes true, causing him to strive towards murdering the King. I'm not sure what will happen.

Act II - Blog Today I was standing guard with my son, Fleance. He is still just a child and has much to learn, but he's getting better at what he needs to do. I'm a little curious as to why Macbeth was still awake sneaking around, but I'm sure he has a good reason. I decided to have a little chat with him, but he seemed to be in a hurry. I told him that //I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters//, because //they have shown some truth// as to whether he became the Thane of Cawdor or not. He countered my comment by letting me know that he //thinks not of them//. He was in a hurry, so I let him be as he was. I decided to go to bed for a while and let Macbeth do what he was going to do. When i awoke from my rest, I went outside and saw multiple people and headed to see what was gong on. When I got there, Macduff informed me that King Duncan had been murdered. When I had heard this, I was in disbelief! I was shocked! Nobody knows who did it, so anyone of the people there could have been the ruthless murderer that had slain King Duncan. I hope I don't get blamed for this because I have done nothing but serve my King to the best of my ability.

Act III - Blog

I started off the day by talking to Macbeth. He seems to have gotten everything the witches had said//. I fear thou play’dst most foully for ‘t//. He’s having a feast tonight and I was hoping to be there, but I was relying heavily on my horse to keep me on time. So, off I went on my horse. As I was getting back to Macbeth’s castle, I was met by three men and they wanted my head. There was no chance for me, but I took the chance to save my son. //Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!// I yelled to him as the assassins were approaching me. Now that my time has passed, I can see everything. I was right all along; Macbeth was the murderer and he chose to have me murdered as well. I have been watching him closely since my time had come and he seems to have a lot of guilt. He can barely control himself, which he will need to do if he wants to avoid being caught. I will continue watching down on him to see how his fate will turn out.

Today, I watched down as Macbeth went to see the witches. He is completely losing his mind and everyone is starting to doubt his sanity. Macbeth has started a plot to kill everyone that Macduff cares about and then go for him. Meanwhile, Ross had informed Lady Macduff that her husband had died, although he still stands strong. Poor lady, worrying about her son having no father, asking him things such as, //Sirrah, your father's dead: And what will you do now? How will you live?"// Macduff had vdsa strong son who pulled his mother together when she was in a hard time until Macbeth had his murderers terminate the lives of these innocent people. I am glad that Macduff is attempting to get help from Malcolm to take down Macbeth for his evil doings. At least someone knows he is up to no good. I am sorry for Macduff as he has to suffer the consequences of Macbeth's actions. I wish him luck in his strive to end the reign of Macbeth.

Act V - Blog

As I look down upon Lady Macbeth, I realise that she is great at acting. She wants everyone to think that she and Macbeth are innocent by freaking out about Macduff’s wife being slain. She is pretty good, but i believe she is starting to crack and lose control of Macbeth. Macbeth has decided to fight the army of ten thousand that Malcolm is leading instead of flee while he can. He seemed to have no fear until Seyton confirmed that the shriek they heard was Macbeth's Lady, the Queen. I am proud of Macduff and Malcolm for their efforts in ending the reign of Macbeth. Their siege upon his castle is turning out to be a great one. As Macbeth was attempting to leave his castle and escape the attack, he was interrupted by Macduff. They began to battle and we insulting the honor of each other. In the end, Macduff had finished the life of Macbeth and took his head back to the army to announce the death of Macbeth. I am proud that Macduff has done what he set out to achieve. He finished the task that I left undone. I am truly proud of his actions and disappointed of Macbeth's actions. Macbeth has gained what he deserves.
