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.
