This Is It. ~Macbeth

Song: In the End by Linkin Park
Quote: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
                   -Winston Churchill

I have done all I can in this world. My last plea, though, is this, which was granted to me by my near-assassinator, Macduff.
I wish the world to let me be in peace, for now it seems be to be suffering in what I have caused  rather than from it. I am much better of having less responsibility.
Everything I have done, from murder to lies, has been for nothing. Let this be a lesson to anyone out there: Do nothing that you will regret. Do everything that will make you better in the end. Live for your country and die for it, but don't ever try to control it. It's not worth the consequences. I leave you now with my legacy and words, but I would not be surprised if you forget them all. I am prepared to join you, Banquo and dear chuck! Haha!
So long.

Just Let Me Sleep ~Lady Macbeth

Song: All in All by Lifehouse and The Climb by Miley Cyrus and If I Die Young by the Band Perry
Quote: A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
                  -Robert Fripp 


At this point, all I can ask for is forgiveness, though I deserve nothing.
I have created a monster in Macbeth, a completely terrible and fully unrecognizable human-being that I once would have done everything for. I don't care anymore. 
I just want to rest and sleep. Sleep for a very long time. I want to know that everything in the world is going to be ok and that my life was not worthless because of what I have created in Macbeth. 
Yes, yes. I feel awful, but my soul is shattered. I can't take this anymore. I want peace. I hope that the forest comes up the hill and takes Macbeth. I hope that Macbuff or whoever comes for Macbeth. I hope that a man not born of woman can solve these seemingly unsolvable problems that I have created.
Please just forgive me, and let me sleep.

Waiting ~Macduff

Song: Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer
Quote: A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
                    -Dwight D. Eisenhower


Life is not going so well... And then I think of Scotland, and I know that I must pull forth for her. 
My entire family has been killed, Macbeth is running a tyrannical rampage all over Scotland, and I cannot tell if the future of my home will be ruled by a strategical mastermind or a jokester playing tricks or another tyrannical ruler, all of which being Malcolm. I believe he was asking me where my allegiance stood, but he was talking about the rape of his people and all-around doom. I would not even kid about anything of the sort. I don't know if he is in a time of desperation or confusion or whatever else. 
But all I can do it hope that the plans we are putting together work. Macbeth killed Scotland, and it's time to revive her with the kiss of life in full force! God, help Scotland!

Firstlings ~Macbeth

Song: Time-Bomb by All Time Low
Quote: A true king is neither husband nor father; he considers his throne and nothing else.
                         -Pierre Corneille

I am the man. I might be the crazy man, but I am the man.
I have cut the head off of the snake, officially.
Well... Ok, I'm lying.
I've lost control. I went to find those three witches again, and they gave me a little confidence to keep trying. I'm in... desperation? Is that the word I'm looking for? It's just so tiring. Everything about this... I just want to be done. I'm going to do whatever come to mind from now on. It's the simplest thing, and I can just deal with it all later. I'm just not wanting to deal with everything that comes along with power... and murder.
Lady Macbeth isn't doing so well, either. Maybe I should talk to her, but she'll just get upset again.
Ok, first thoughts, and that's it, that's what I'm doing.
Ok, so how do I solve the problem my opposers, like Macduff...

Losing It ~Lady Macbeth

Song: Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus
Quote: A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience.
                   -Wallis Simpson


I can't handle this any more. I'm like water, and Macbeth is a flower. He needs water and coaxing to grow. But let's say that the flower finds some fertilizer or maybe a little mouse or snake or something else to bring it a different water. Then the original water is completely out of the loop!
Macbeth doesn't tell me anything any more! Without me, he's useless, but who knows what he's up to! He just...ugh!
I knew this whole thing would be tough, but it's taking a toll on me. I'm not sleeping that much, and I'm so tired.
Then, Macbeth had to go and ruin the whole feast! Way to keep up the smiles like we planned, Macbethy! You sure do know how to get away with murder by claiming there's a ghost in front of you.
Whatever he's doing, he's gone too far. Ghosts aren't real, and something in him must have snapped. He probably went and did something rash and stupid, typical guy.
You need a woman's brain in there to get stuff done.
This is just tough though. I'll keep fighting in any case, no matter how much I'm in or out of the loop.

Deception ~Banquo

Song: Black Cat by Mayday Parade
Quote: An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
                  -Russell Baker

This is the last chance that I will ever have to write anything. I am currently hiding under a bush from an attacker. It's an assassination, I tell you!
I knew all along that Macbeth would be my demise. He was acting so strange to me calling me the "honored guest" or whatnot.
He knew that once my children were old enough... Well, let's just say he knows what's coming for him: my kids. My only regret is that I will never be able to see them rip that bastard apart.
Beware Macbeth is all I can say for the world. Figure out how to take him down. Oh and the meaning of life is fduaiuohvpibf[odgihew[oirgbav'gkb

It's Everywhere ~Macbeth

Song: All Around Me by Flyleaf
Quote: Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?
                -Sun Tzu

I  am shak ing. I can"t belieaave any thing anyamore.
Ifa I 'm able tuo ki;ll the kingf like thaat. then how wilkl i ever be abl;e to dio anuthinh/

Ok, I took a second to relax. Breathe. I'm still shak ing, but not as badly.
How could I do that? Duncan was a friend, a good person, and I just outed him.
Wait, what was that? I don't know.
Lady Macbeth told me is was the right thing to do, and I even didn't believe her. Why couldn't I turst my gut. That's what I always do. I thought about it, and I made a decision.
Wait, there it was again. I don't know.
Then, there was that dagger in front of me... That should have meant something.
Wait, now what's that? ...
There was so much blood, and I couldn't think. I just stopped thinking, and just left. What was I thinking?
What's that? Breathe. I think something's following me. It's so dark outside, and nothing feels good about this any more. I'm sure Lady Macbeth is happy, but I don't know. I hope this will all work out for the better, but this is not good. We'll have to see what happens when someone finds him.
Oh, God! We're going to be caught. What will I do? They'll see the blood on me. Oh!
Wait! What the hell is that, over there in the corner? Breathe breathe breathe.
What am I doing? Did I do anything right tonight? It has to be. Lady Macbeth said it would.
What's...! Breathe. 

Oh, Scotland! God, HELP ~Macduff

Song: Anthem Part 2 by Blink 182
Quote: Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
                 -W. Clement Stone

Horror! Horror! Oh, no!
I could cry forever! Our dear King Duncan! My his soul rest in peace, though may it find its body's murder and show him to me! I would be more than happy to kill him in his honor. Horror!
I found the King, seemingly snuggled in a deep sleep, in his bed in Macbeth's guest room, but I was not expecting him to have been killed! He was surrounded by his guards, but not for long before I came out and told everyone about the king's death and then Macbeth got angry and then he killed the guards because he thought it was their fault. Oh, it's all a mess, but why would Macbeth have killed them? It doesn't make much sense, but for the love of Scotland, I may have too in the heat of the moment. Oh! Why must the good be killed?
If I find who killed him, I will make sure he knows that he ruined Scotland. Everything is falling apart, but I will try to help. I am going to England to find help for this matter. I will have to leave Scotland, but it is all for her own good and for Duncan's name. Oh, Scotland!
This reeks of foul play! How could anyone kill good King Duncan? For money? For power? I don't know, but it was someone in Macbeth's castle. Oh!
I will think this further with a clear head, but for now I ask for God to help Scotland.

LISTEN UP ~Lady Macbeth

Song: Be Good to Me by Ashley Tisdale
Quote: For tis not in mere death that men die most.
                      -Elizabeth Barrett Browning

That damn Macbeth! He's dumber than a slimy slug!
I find out that he becomes somewhat powerful, and I'm supposed to be happy??? He told me in his letter that he's going to be the king, so why shouldn't we make that happen tonight so I can actually be happy!? I swear, he doesn't listen to a damn word I say! He just says something like, "No, I'm already powerful, hardy har har. Why should I kill Duncan when I have this kind of power already, hardy har har? I'm happy, aren't you, hardy har?" NO, I'M NOT. He's in our house, let's solve this issue now. I set up a whole plan, and this is how it's going to end, with a discisionless Macbeth, hardy har har. It's not that hard to kill a man, especially if it makes you happier in the end, right? He kills people all the time, so what's the big deal?
I absolutely swear he doesn't listen to me! He better make a decision... Otherwise...

Winning ~Macbeth

Song: All I Do is Win by DJ Khaled
Quote: Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
                     -Abraham Lincoln


I don't have much time before I see Lady Macbeth, but so much has already happened on this fateful day. I will go over them briefly.

  • I was glorious on the battlefield. I know defending the king is usually one of my favorite things to do, but today felt good. To have seen a man de-seamed, and then to see it with the glory I did it... Well, I am not known for my mercy. 
  • I met some...interesting?...women today after the battle. I still had some blood on me, and I felt weird talking to the ladies in my state, but they should have been ashamed at their state, smelling of death and sporting wiry beards. However, it seemed very much like they wanted to talk to me. They gave me prophesies about my future. They said I would become the thane of Cawdor and king! I believed them immediately, but Banquo, being Banquo the court jester and non-believer of the bunch, always had to argue. He didn't believe them, but then they said his children will be king, which at least made him happy.
  • The witches' first prediction came true! After they disappeared, I was promptly named the thane of Cawdor. It feels good to have power, rightfully so. I deserve this, and I'm sure dear chuck will be happy as well. We can finally get out of this little castle and get somewhere worthy of our occupation! Good things will be coming!
