The Danger of Ambition

By: Rosemary

Macbeth had been living a happy life,

until he married his manipulative wife.

One day when Scotland went to war,

Macbeth brought victory and made the people roar.

Especially for the king who was impressed a little more,

he made Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor.

Banquo and Macbeth meet the three witches,

who are evil and vicious.

They trick Macbeth by greeting him with laughter

“Thane of Cawdor! King hereafter!”

Banquo does not fall into the witches trap,

and just sits there and listens with his hands on his lap.

Macbeth is interested and listens with his ears,

and doesn’t want them to disappear.

When Macbeth tells his wife about the weird sisters,

Join now!

she devises a scheme to help her mister.

She comes up with a plan,

to make her husband king of the land.

She tells Macbeth they will invite the king for dinner,

and kill the king but become sinners.

Macbeth agrees,

for it seems that he will become king at such great ease.

At the final moment Macbeth backs out,

which makes Lady Macbeth shout.

She questions his manly hood,

and says she would kill king Duncan if she could.

Macbeth goes to kill Duncan while Lady Macbeth waits,

to determine their fate.

Macbeth returns,

as a storm occurs.
