Dear Diary,

I have just received a letter from Macbeth. In his note, my beloved husband states that King Duncan has rewarded him with the title of Thane of Cawdor! Oh this is such wonderful news. But there is more to the letter. Macbeth also talks about some weird sisters that he met. Apparently these weird sisters have made some kind of prophecy about Macbeth becoming not only the Thane of Cawdor but King as well! He states in the letter “Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came missives from the king, who all-hail’d me thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referr’d me to the coming on of time, with ‘Hail, king that shalt be!’,” (Act 1, Scene 5: Lines 5-9).

He is already the Thane of Glamis, and now the Thane of Cawdor and he will be what he has been promised: King of Scotland (Act 1, Scene 5: Lines 15-16). I believe Macbeth totally deserves the title of king. However, I do fear that he might let the goodness in him get in the way of him becoming king. If that is the case, I will have to help him seize the title of king. I will have to come up with a plan for him. I just cannot wait for him to return home so that I can congratulate him myself. My husband, becoming the king! This is something that has to happen. I think I hear a messenger coming. I will write again soon, and hopefully by that time I will have become the Queen of Scotland. I cannot wait to be sitting on top of the world, alongside Macbeth.

Dear Diary,

I felt that Macbeth would not have the courage to finish the job properly. As soon as he came, his face and actions told me that he had not finished the job. He came in, looking at his hands and feeling some remorse towards what he did. He should not feel this way. I comforted him but yet he still looks at his hands like they were stained with blood. He does not speak of anything that refers to being good or holy because he fears that the god will punish him. He has to be strong but maintain his image while doing so. After that I asked whether he made sure to finish the job fully. As I suspected, he did not have enough courage to remain in their any longer. Why would he be so stupid to just leave their without making it obvious that he did it. He could not complete the job and thus, I had to finish it for him. I went back into Duncan’s chamber and spread his blood all over the two sons. I made sure to leave the dagger there so as not to make a mistake as my husband did. Luckily, no one was awakened and I successfully finished the job. I will not be able to recover from the wrong deeds that I did that night. We then heard a knocking from within and decide that it would be best to retire to our chamber. I will never be the same after what happened that night.

Dear Diary,

Everyone entered my castle to celebrate the recognition of Macbeth being crowned, and as the hostess I called upon Macbeth to greet everyone. I feel satisfied as our plan has succeeded, and I have become the Queen. However, Macbeth's actions depict a strange change within him. For instance, my husband says to the visitors, “Thou canst not say I did it; never shake Thy gory locks at me” (Act 3, Scene 4: Lines 50-51). This caused me to become confused. Even when he was asked to take this seat Macbeth claimed that the table was full, when it was not. I needed to take quick action in order to cover up for Macbeth, who was acting strangely at the moment, “my lord is often thus, and hath been from his youth” (Act 3, Scene 4: Lines 53-56). This is outrageous; Macbeth is speaking like a mad man and ruining his reputation as King of Scotland.

I approached Macbeth with anger and forced him to take the fear out of his face. He is turning into a more of a coward than before. Unfortunately, this did not stop him and he continued to talk about blood and dreadful situations such as, “Blood hath been shed ere now, I’ the olden time, Ere humane statute purg’d the gentle weal; Ay, and since too, murders have been perform’d” (Act 3, Scene 4: Lines 75- 83). Furthermore, I could not allow him to accidentally give clues about Duncan’s death, so I decided to tell everyone to leave at once so that nothing is said which should not be. I am afraid as our banquet may have leaked out a bit of too much information.

Dear Diary,

For the past few days, I have been feeling so sick and weird. I don’t know what is wrong with me. The Doctor said that I have been also sleepwalking and mumbling in my sleep. It is not much a pain or anything, nothing like normal sickening but it is a weird dark feeling on the inside. More like guilt and remorse but I myself refuse to believe it. Is it possible that after all the deeds that I have done and achieving the rank of Queen, my only consequence would be myself? I actually have been starting to realize subconsciously that I have hurt a lot of people around me and now it’s like all of their sorrow is somehow inside me. Or is it that it’s my sorrow from my conscience slowly telling me about that evil deeds I have committed. I am as confused right now as I feel like there is a battle between regret and satisfaction in my head. At one side I am filled with tremendous regret of the entire thing I have done and on the other it’s that I am satisfied where I am as queen and that it was my destiny to become that. My guilt is slowly eating me on the inside as the days go by and my deed of inhumanity slowly reflects itself. I don’t know what to do as I am so confused and mentally unstable right now. Now that I realize it, this situation me and Macbeth have created is nothing more than a dead end. Sooner or later, people will realize, it was us that killed Duncan and Banquo and done all the other horrible deeds. It will only be a matter of time before we are exposed. I don’t know what to do and I just wish I never did this in the first place.
