Macbeth Diary
Dear Diary, today has be very eventful, I hath slain Macdonwald I unseamed him from him from
the nave to the chops and fix'd his heads upon our battlements. The Norwegians and those
traitorous scots were no match for us scots we put them back in their place. Me and my
kinsman Banquo stood victorious on the battlefield as the Thane of Cawdor fled. I heard the
prominent king Duncan may reward me and my fellow soldiers for our valor on the battlefield.
But my fellow soldiers say i'm a savage and slaughter without thought but i'm doing what I have
to if they truly knew me. I feel as though these men do not know my true intentions are and how
I feel about the life I lead. I feel the scars on my arms and legs the pain and suffering I caused on
the battlefield the women and children whom Is stripped their father and husband from. This
grief and death weigh tons on my heart but i do not know how to be forgiven for my sins or how
I can repent.

Macbeth Diary
It was just a couple hours after the battle with Macdonwald and me and my kinsman Banquo
stumbled across the lair of the three witches they foretold a prophecy. A prophecy that insist I
was to be King and my kinsman Banquo will be father to Kings. I know not whether to put faith
in this prophecy or whether it is a sign to be blinded or see through the fate of what is to come.
The witch's stature and appearance was a horrid sight, no beauty was seen to those who dwell in
the caves and crevices below. This hath me torn between destiny, dreams, or to follow my heart
and mind and do what I know is right. Betray the fellow who hath faith in me who puts thou trust
in me to protect and be loyal to my liege and never follow those evil ambitions that hath haunted
me from the darkest parts of my soul. Or give in and damn myself to the darkest parts of hell
after my stay on this earth if I slay the great king Duncan and steal what I believe to be mine the
throne. These thoughts hath plagued me, since I had met with the sinister evil witches placing me
in a darker mind set. I must describe these thoughts and prophecy with my consort and decide
what I may do with these dark ambitions.

Macbeth
I hath thought too much on the matter of slaying the mighty King Duncan my liege and friend
who hath put his faith in me and I may be the one to drive a dagger through his heart. I have just
mailed my letter to my fair consort depicting my intentions and the prophecy they foretold and
how it has become reality. I Macbeth am now the thane of Cawdor as the prophecy had foretold I
now know what must be done. I must slay the valiant and fair King Duncan and claim my fair
and rightful place as king of Scotland ruling the kingdom better than the previous king. I hope
my consort feels the same and helps me push myself to my full potential I fear what is to come
but I greet death with open arms. I will return home in days to come and assert my rightful place
as king of Scotland I must learn how I will cover the crime and make my kinsman unknown to
the cruelest of crimes i'm going to commit. How will the Heavens above look down upon me
and not feel shame I will need to repent for what I am going to do and hope to God for
forgiveness from those I respect and fear.

Macbeth Diary

I hath just returned home, from my long journey from Fifeand the first thing my dear wife brings
up is the plan to slay King Duncan. I am tired from my journey and just take a breath I still know
not whether I can go through with this sinister plot. Will God ever forgive me for it how can I
deal with the guilt of a man who loved and put his faith in and I betray him. My wife the women
I love and married has been telling I am not truly a man until I have done the dirty deed that she
will not look at me the same till I hath done it. She's pushing me to the edge I do not know if I
should carry through and trust my wife she seems to be losing her mind slowly descending into
madness how long can I deal with this madness and insanity till my friends and family learn of
my true colors and my dark intentions. My wife can not bare a child so we will not have a child
to rule in our name after I am old and withered I know not whether it's worth the consequences to
rule a fruitless kingdom with a barren scepter knowing this kingdom will not stay to my name.

MacBeth Diary
My wife and I have discussed how it is all going to happen it leaves a twisted feeling in my
stomach knowing the murder of King Duncan is so near but feels so far. We are going to get drug

his guards the ones that patrol and protect him while he sleeps. Then we will steal their arms and
slay the mighty Duncan with his own guards weapons so it looks as though his own men hath
killed him. Then I the Valiant Macbeth will run in and slay the guards out a fit of anger and
sadness to make them feel as though I was striking out revenge for my King. Never knowing of
my dastardly plot and claiming my rightful spot as King of Scotland without anyone the wiser.
This is easier said than done I hope I have the courage and guts to deal the dirty deed and my
wife hath understand and able to deal with the ordeal in an orderly fashion not releasing the truth
of my evil. I can truly hope the witches prophecy does come in full effect and does not ruin the
life I hath built for me and my wife, leaving a trail of ruin. This will be my fate as King or I will
die trying to get what I truly believe I deserve.

Macbeth Diary
My kinsman Banquo has summoned me to discuss his dreams I feel as though he may be on to
my intentions for hosting the king in my castle. His worry and appearance shows his concern
which in return worries me of what he may know I do not want to backstab a man who is like a
brother to me but if it comes to that I will do what I must. Banquo says he dreamed of the three

witches and that they may have revealed something to me but I reassured him I have not thought
of those dark natured though since the woods of the witches cave I feel bad for lying to my good
friend but I must keep the truth from him. If he were to know my intentions he would inevitably
try and stop me with force or alerting the King and I can not have either of these distractions so I
will pull my dear friend Banquo of the picture. I must find some wicked men to murder Banquo
but I must not tell them to do this deed for it leaves a bad mark on me so I will trick them to do
this and after they have done it I can have them executed. I will regret this action of disgrace but
I must do what is necessary to secure my place on the throne no matter the cost I may have to
have his son Fleance killed too he will be a witness and witnesses are liable. I still hope God can
forgive me my for sins and will never forget what I have done to the people who trust me and
loved me.

Macbeth Diary
The plan was a succes me and my wife hath slain the mighty Duncan now we must wait till the
morning and further our plan. This dirtiest of deeds has struck in the back my mind worries me,
what if someone starts to catch on what actions will I have to commit to silence them women and
may even children. I feel a sense of betrayal I hath committed weighs hard on my heart knowing

what crimes against humanity I hath committed. The mighty King is no more buried upon a
grave of trust that I hath broken and laid him into an early grave. I can not even pray for my sins
the words are stuck in my throat unable to be heard and to be healed. This crime should not be
forgiven and I deal with the stress and burden of my actions I may not lay to rest quietly. Sleep
is a thing I gave up for what I hath done, never able to sleep sound haunted by those I hath slain
and may come to slay to stay King of this land. Even thou I bare a fruitless crown and a barren
scepter never leaving this kingdom to mine heirs for my wife is barren and unable to birth Kings
of mine own to rule for centuries in my name.

Macbeth Diary
They have just discovered that the King hath been murdered this man of the name Macduff has
had his suspicions and I do not trust his wondering mind on bit. I may need to dispose of this
man at once before he discovers my true intentions. They wondered why I hath slain the guards
that were suspect in the murder of the King I slipped by with a clever rouse saying a man has no

control his emotions not able to be angry and rational at the same moments. They agreed with
my claim and none of them are the wiser I may just claim the throne with ease, in this moment
after all. Macduff did not accept my invite to the banquet I wonder if his suspicions hath changed
he may be onto me I must get to the bottom of this at once. Also my good friend Banquo
questions my intent again wonder if my dark thoughts hath taken hold of me and wonders why
my mind was morphed to darkness he does not know the power the will and want I have for the
crown it may drive me to madness.

Macbeth Diary
It's been days since I hath murdered the King and their is talk that a new King is to be crowned
and the fingers point to me. Finally all my dark inhibitions will have been for nothing and the
throne will be mine. They crown me king at dawn on sunday before the ceremony I must remove
these dark thoughts of what I have done, it must fall behind me I must move on and rule this
kingdom for my people. I had a rough night all the dark visions haunt me for what I have done

and all the suffering I hath caused. I will rule this kingdom with an iron fist no one should
oppose me or they will face the same fate as Duncan.
I am worried as the man loyal to King Duncan has fled to England to conspire with son of kings
Malcolm to overthrow me and take what is rightfully mine I will not let this happen I will fight
for my throne no matter the cost and if my death must happen is must. But i will not give away
my throne willingly and will take as many traitorous scots as I can.

10
Macbeth Diary
Again my dear friend who is like a brother Banquo has conspired against me I feel like he is not
the man I used to know he hath betrayed me. I will send for three murderers to kill my kinsman
Banquo we will meet in the dark of the night and discuss the details. I had met with the
murderers and discussed Banquo never telling them to kill but of his true inhibitions and what he
hath done so if this comes back to me I never had told these men to commit murder. If they carry
out my dirty work I will promote these men and they will be greater. The greatest thing about this

all is that nothing leads back to me and I will be complete with no competition and no fear. I can
only be defeated by a man not born of women and everyone is born so I will win this war and
come out victorious. I wonder what the traitorous Macduff is doing if he is plotting against me
with the son of the king Malcolm I will destroy malcolm and anyone who help him he looks as a
traitor no one knows the evil I hath committed.

Macbeth Diary
I'm hosting a banquet today and hoping all my friends come I must show them i'm still the same I
have not changed they must never learn what I did. The banquet went well until the ghost of my
dead friend appeared,it felt so real I think I may have scared my guest. This banquet was a
tragedy I must think of way to show I'm not insane or am I, I do not know at this point this
murder hath ruined me. I do not sleep quiet at night the memories that haunt me are too much
feeling as thou those around me are against me never feeling I can trust anyone. I can feel my
wife slowly losing her grip on reality sleep walking through the castle at night, she has not been

able to coped with the death we'll always trying to wash away the blood of king Duncan. I can
not feel sympathy for her this is not the moment for this I wish she did not do this right now for I
do not have time to deal with it, she must wait for when i'm ready to help.

13
Macbeth Diary
I must get the advice of the wicked three witches they must explain how I will handle this how I
can conquer this. I had met with the witches but an hour ago they show me three apparitions to
show me what I crave to know. The first apparition said Macduff will come for war with an army
to fight for my kingdom and this is possible but my army is superior so it does not matter. The
second apparition said that no man of woman born shall slay thee, this is great news it must
mean i am invincible I shall not worry of the fight with Macduff for I can not be slain. lastly the
third apparition said that Macbeth shall not be vanquished till Great Birnam wood to high
Dunsinane hill shall come against him, this is preposterous this must mean I will be victorious

the woods can not just move towards my kingdom so this is great news I shall not worry or fear
for no man of woman born can slay me or till the woods move on there own.

14
Macbeth Diary
Just as a precaution for the mighty Macduff who plots his revenge as I speak I will higher a man
to murder his wife and children just to be safe. I just talked to the man who will do the dirty work
for a cheap price with no ties leading to me this is perfect. He had done the deed sad I must kill
his children but it must be done they were a knesence and a threat to my kingdom's future they
may have grow up with a fire in their belly to slay me for what crimes I have committed and may
commit in the near future so I killed them for my own good. I wonder if this may derail the
mighty Macduff from facing me I hope thee gets some sense for I will commit evil acts that this
to keep my kingdom I will do whatever the cost no matter the cost this is my life now and
everything I have done to be on this throne and hold this scepter is too much to throw away for I
can not repent now it is to late for me to turn back for god cannot forgive my sins.

Macbeth Diary
My wife, my wife is sick, she is relentless in her sleep never truly know what the gift of sleep is.
She walks in the night with her eyes wide open but her mind in another world not account for
what happens in this one. I fear she is reliving that horrible night when we hath kill King Duncan
and she can not relieve the pain or wash away the blood of her sin. I know not how to cure her
illness I will call in the doctor at once he must help her for she craves relief. The doctor says that
she cannot be cured that this illness is not of physical apparity but of the mind sick in the head
but this can not be true there must be a cure he can say this for he is wrong and must cure her, he
must. I will report for all the doctors in the kingdom to report to the castle one must know the
cure if they do not what are they good for they must if I have to rip it out of them with the edge
of my blade. My thoughts are messing up my mind they destroy my logical thinking I must not
tear myself apart this is dumb I must stop and think clearly my wife is tearing me apart.

Macbeth Diary
This is the moment of battle I have to be prepared I got all my men prepared for war they are at
the gates ready for a fight. Im must wait on my servants all the time never doing anything in a
timely manner I asked for my battle armor more than half an hour ago and I sit her getting
impatient. I hear rumors of my men's loyalty they do not even believe in my leadership as King
they just follow me out of honor and fear I must teach these leeches a lesson. This is despicable
Macduff leads a rebellion against me I'm glad I had his family executed so he can suffer on the
battlefield haunted by those he could not save. But if I may die on the battlefield the life I leave
shall not remain the dastardly deeds I had committed will lead an imprint to those that
experienced it but fade with age. The life I leave does not truly matter whether I was a wicked
king or a honorable man to the king no one shall remember who I really was so why go down
with a surrender then go out like a warrior because I will go out with dignity and fight for my
crusade whether it was in the right or wrong.

17
Macbeth Diary
There army approaches and my fate will be decided soon but there is grievance on my mind as I
heard a death curdling scream that did not stir any sign of emotion not even a goose pimple on
my hand, when it would have worried me and struck me with fear to my core a year ago.
Moments later my servant slave had informed me that my wife had taken her own life and I did
not budge it did not even fill me with the slightest regret or feeling of loss and heartbroken it
worries me that I do not feel anymore. It stirs the thought whether everything I have done has
changed who I am, am I even a human anymore even thou I can not feel the slightest ounce of
regret and pain of losing a loved one. The thing is why must she die now why not tomorrow or
the next day or the next day, why today , today is cruel I may not worry on this day for Macduff
is approaching and can not deal with these emotions today. Now my servant slave informs me
that Birnam wood is approaching as if the woods are moving how can this be possible this is a
bad sign this prophecy of the apparitions is coming to earth and I may not live to see the light of
next day so I will fight as thou i'm ready to die if I die today I will die with bravery and dignity.

Macbeth Diary
I hear Macduff's army approaching it is a sound I dread but a sound I must face now is the time
for battle. I hath just slain the young Siward a weak warrior who did not even put a fight it was
pathetic, I hope that not all Macduffs men are weak like him or this will be easy I may not even
draw a sweat. Knock knock knock I hear the scream of Macduff as he is traversing my Kingdom
looking for me, trying to exact his revenge on me for murdering his wife and children. This is
pathetic I hath slain nine men not a single one put up a fight I feel as thou im fight unarmed men
with sticks that's how easy this fight has been. The mighty Macduff I approaches I can hear
through the halls his voice and steps they are of a man that seeks a bitter sweet revenge of
something he thinks he deserves I know because this was me when I thought the kingdom
belonged to me but everything has a cost and what will Macduff's be. *Macduff and Macbeth
draw swords and fight furiously till Macduff gets a good hit on Macbeth and wins* I hath been
slain.cruel world thy is..
