Lady Macbeth's Journal
Thursday 20th May 1870
Today we were honored by the visit of King Duncan. It was a great
pleasure to have our leader King Duncan in our castle. He is a
kind-hearted man and trustworthy leader for our country. He would do
anything for his country. But I'm still concerned about the letter I
got from Macbeth two weeks ago saying that the three witches told him
that he's got a chance of becoming the new King. But how can he become
the new King while Duncanis still alive? Well, I'll make sure that I
become the new Queen. Although I didn't have any problems welcoming
King Duncan the thoughts of me becoming the new Queen is still running
through my mind. I would do anything to fulfill my ambition. I have to
persuade my husband Macbeth to murder King Duncan. Yeah…that's it! If
Macbeth murders him then I can become the new Queen. But I'm going to
put an act as being really nice to King Duncan so he doesn't get
suspicious. I have to make Macbeth murder him. I will make sure he
murders him. The first job tomorrow is to tell Macbeth my idea.

Today was the best day in my life. I told Macbeth my idea of murdering
King Duncan. But he didn't agree to murder him because of the trust
between the two of them. But I told him that becoming a King was more
important than his friendship with King Duncan. I don't care what King
Duncan's like as long as my ambition is fulfilled. Macbeth liked it
when the witches told him that he had the chance of becoming the new
King but when I gave him an idea of how to do it, he completely
changed his mind. He was such a coward who didn't have any nerve to
murder ...
... middle of paper ...
... Macbeth didn't show any kind of reaction at all.
Macbeth was more concerned to shout at the doctor and demand a cure
for his own situation than a treatment for me. His shouting is not
going to help him at all. It just saves him from considering his
situation calmly and realistically. The doctor said that the illness
of the mind can only be given a certain amount of treatment and the
rest must come from inside. Macbeth said that physic is a waste of
time and leaves. There is nothing we can do about this disease I bet.
Am I to blame for everything because I was the first person to give
Macbeth the idea of murdering King Duncan. But I'm suffering now for
all that I did. I'm just going mad day by day. I bet nothing is going
to sure me & my husband. We are just beyond the help of this world.
Only our deaths will 'cure' us!

Henry VIII was not raised to become king; his brother was. When Henry took the throne, he had a great education, but no clue about what to accomplish as king and how to do it. Henry was more concerned with his image – he would throw lavish parties to show his luxurious lifestyle, and made few decisions himself concerning governing, instead relying heavily on his councilor...

First came the pride, an overwhelming sense of achievement, an accomplishment due to great ambition, but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion, the conscience which I once thought diminished, began to grow, soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images, the bloody dagger, a lifeless corpse. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, trying desperately to cleanse myself of the blood. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.

I asked for unnatural darkness so that heaven will not see and cry: "Hold, hold!" No one must see the murder, as killing the King is an unthinkable act; it is just like killing God. I will have to teach Macbeth the lessons of deceit and hypocrisy. I told him "bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue; look like th' innocent flower, but be the serpent under't." I meant the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who is really the Devil. After that I felt so confident, I was able to pun.

One historical problem concerning a fair share has been the selection of a new king from a list of several candidates, such that each candidate receives a fair share at the chance to become king. According to Theodore P. Hill (2000), there exist many legends explaining attempts to solve this problem—Darius became king when his horse was the first to neigh at the city walls, and O’Neill became king under the rule that “he who first touches Irish soil will be monarch,” by chopping off his left hand and tossing it ashore ahead of his competitors. The problem with these methods was that they lacked a central organizing premise, such that each participant would be satisfied that they received a fair shot.
He is a king, was a prince, son of a king and was raised up by a king
