Macbeth 7

During Macbeth's tyranny, Lady Macbeth loses her sanity. She has done so much that she can no longer live with the guilt, so she kills herself. Once Macbeth hears of this news, he is indeed shocked. However, he says that he does not have time to morn for her because of his growing army. I would definetely mourn for my lost loved one because I have spent many of my years with that person. However, I understand Macbeth's situation, he is being targeted by another powerful military force and he must decide the correct things to do so he can live. I would be incredibly stressed at this point, so stressed that I would pull out my hair. Furthermore, Macbeth also learns from this experience that life has no substance, and it can be gone very quickly. At this time, Macbeth's self worth increases because he too has learnt what it feels like to have someone taken away from him. If I was in his position, I would have some more sympathy for Macduff because I killed his family.

  2. Good job! I like how you included many of Macbeth's thoughts. Maybe you can add more detail of how he feels when he finds out that his wife has died. Remember to change all your journals to first person!!!
