Letter to Lady Macbeth from her husband. Whilst Banquo and I were on a heath near Forres, we came across three, peculiar weird sisters.

        Whilst Banquo and I were on a heath near Forres, we came across three, peculiar weird sisters. At first, Banquo and I became rather confused as they slightly resembled women although they possessed beards and looked almost like trolls. He assumed they were not inhabitants of the Earth. Much to our amazement, they somehow had known our names. They then went on to make predictions that Banquo’s sons would become kings and that I will become Thane of Cawdor and later I would become king. The moment that I heard this I became fascinated and I demanded for more information. I, honestly, could not believe my ears. Did my ears deceive me; Did I really hear that one day I, Macbeth, would become King; How was this possible? I wanted, no needed, to know but much to my dismay the three sisters had vanished. Despite the fact that I am not in line for the throne, this was all I could think about.

        After the sisters had disappeared, we were greeted by two of the King’s men, Angus and Ross. They told me that the king had heard of my success in battle. They then announced that I was now Thane of Cawdor. I was extremely shocked and then asked how this could possibly be true as the Thane of Cawdor was still alive. They told me that he will be losing his life because he betrayed the king. I could neither understand nor comprehend this. Maybe, just maybe, the sisters were speaking the truth. But how can I become king? King Duncan is currently on the throne and he is well and healthy. The only possible way I can become king is if I… The terrifying thought of what I have to do is eating away at my soul. Maybe I may have to … murder King Duncan in order for you and I to be crowned the King and Queen of Scotland. God knows, how I am going to achive my goal.

        Please support me and help me make this possible.

Yours sincerely,

Macbeth, Thane of Glamis and Thane of Cawdor
