2 Questions & Macbeths Soliloquy

1. Macbeth seemed like a person who people looked up to and was a hero, but he actually is a coward who will do anything his wife tells him to. She makes him do really bad things even when he doesn’t want to. He takes the easy way out of things by killing Duncan to get power instead of working for it. After Macbeth killed Duncan he becomes worried of everything. He panics at every little sound he hears and he isn’t himself anymore. He has done something so bad that he probably will never go back to normal, he will alway be afraid that people will learn his secret. 

2. In Act III Macbeth will be crowned new king due to Duncan's death. Macbeth will probably be frightened that someone will find out what he and his wife did, so he will do everything in his power to stop that from happening. He will blame other people for what he did to keep his new position as king. 

Macbeth’s Soliloquy:

Why did I let her talk me into doing that? I didn’t want to kill Duncan, he trusted me. He didn’t deserve to die so I could get power. The only way I can live with myself is because I keep telling myself that I gave my wife what she wanted. Yeah that’s what I did, I gave my wife happiness. I gave us power. But still, I killed a man who thought I was his friend. I still have nightmares when I sleep, every little noise scares me. I guess I should listen to my wife advice and to stop being a coward, whats done is done. I should act like we did nothing wrong and move on with my life. I will do everything in my power to make sure we do not get caught for Duncan’s murder. I shall be the great king that I was always meant to be.
