Dear Diary,
The pain… I can slowly feel it eating me away. This guilt now has become stronger than my ambitions. There is no point in watching the monster I have created, and once loved, put his life at risk.. because of me. I am nothing anymore, as these sins have washed the good out of me. Macbeth was once a kind hearted man, that I strongly loved. Yet, I was foolish enough to put the feeling of power before my love for him.. This power.. that once meant the world to me has become nothing but worthless. I should have protected him, yet I destroyed both of us. So how must I dismiss the guilt from my mind? It seems as if the only option is to take away my own life.. for then i shall not harm anyone else. Goodbye Macbeth, I only hope you forgive me, and find the strength to overcome what I have created…
Sincerely,
Lady Macbeth.
Good ending to your journals!
ReplyDeleteI like how you emphasized on how much her point of view has changed from once just focusing on power to now wanting nothing to do with it.
Perhaps you could add in some of the anger towards Macbeth as well because Lady Macbeth did feel somewhat neglected be Macbeth especially after he went through with killing Banquo and not telling her.
Aswell as you could talk about the lack of sleep she has which plays a key role in demonstrating just how pained she is with guilt.
I really like how you used "monster I have created" because it shows that Lady Macbeth had a big influence on the downfall of the character of Macbeth.
Really well done shay!
