Taking over as the new king has been quite the task. The king before me, Macbeth, turned our whole Kingdom around and not in the way we should want. He killed anybody in his way to become the new king, including my father. Macbeth was eventually stopped and killed, but was it too late as we have already lost a great amount of people.

My father, Banquo, and the family of Macduff were all murdered by Macbeth. When Macduff’s family was murdered, we realized it was time for us to come together as one to take out Macbeth once and for all. We created a plan to sneak up on him and surround him so he wouldn’t escape while Macduff challenged him to a battle. Our plan succeeded. We were able to execute the perfect plan, but we did lose one of our soldiers, Young Siward. He decided to go on his own and battle Macbeth. Unfortunately, he ended up losing. Macduff and Macbeth then battled. Macduff came out victorious. After Macbeth was finished, I was crowned King and was able to bring back royalty to my family. Being the king isn’t the easiest task to have. You have to make sure that the village is in order, that everybody is doing their part, and that everybody is safe. At this moment, it may be rough to be the king after the previous attack, but I believe I will gain the trust of my people and we can move forward into the right direction.

You simply cannot fathom the dangers of holding the position of King, especially after the way I acquired such power. After the witches told me what the possibilities, I knew I had to make sure I’d never lose this position. You and your son were a threat to me because of the prophecy told by the weird sisters.

    Macbeth’s impatience for power leads to drastic actions. He murders the king in the belief that “this blow might be the be-all and end-all” (1.7.5).

Macbeth has now lost all sense of what honor is by using such dishonest ways to become king.
