Macbeth Have Sinned Analysis

Improved Essays
I, Lady Grouch Macbeth, have sinned.

The souls I have destroyed curse my mindscape. Their liquid of life eternally inks these hands like soiled parchment.

God, look upon me with pity and forgive me before my time. Forgive my lust for power, forgive the casualties of my desire. I have no means to reconcile the past for I would suffer if I am heard speaking of such events. God, protect me from these torturous devils. Rid me of this evil. Mend the fractured parts of my innocent soul.

The Doctor and Gentlewoman say I wander in my sleep, speaking of a recurrent dream land where weeping ghosts haunt my night visions.

Madness. Fever apparitions. Hallucinations. That is what they call my rambling but they do not know the truth behind my subconscious’ voice.

Me whom tortured him with the aching need for those things. Me whom blamed him for not loving me enough to do this one simple thing.

Does he love anymore? Does he feel anything? Does he think about me?

We began this together, yet he discarded me as he pursued forward.

What has become of me? I have convinced a man to commit murder and framed another for the same murder. I wept for the man whom even, through the persuasion of words, I myself eradicated. I am more to blame for the murder than the derailed man who lies beside me at night. He cannot be blamed when it was my ambition to become Queen that drove us both down the steep slope of derangement.

Forgive me for the demonic disease that has plagued my soul. And forgive the disease that claimed first Duncan and then, through me, led my love to murder his closest friend and a family guilty of nothing but caring for each other.

I wish to overpower these conflicting thoughts, they sway my emotions inordinately! Perhaps this is but another dream! I must awaken, at once!

Wake up! Wake up Grouch! Tis all but an abysmal phantasm! Why am I not rousing from my slumber? What must I do?

I see the children running to random villagers asking for help and the pain in all their faces is painted in red. Well I couldn’t either until now of course, I see them when I’m sleep, and even when I eat, I wake up and sleep in an infinite nightmare.

    Written by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is a play that highlights one common theme: the gradual loss of sanity. Macbeth progressively becomes plagued by intense, consuming guilt as his desire for power drives him to attain his goals by any means necessary, including the act of committing murder. Feeding his hunger for dominance, he murders King Duncan in cold blood in order to become the King of Scotland, has Banquo killed by three murderers to maintain his position as royalty, and finally, he has Macduff’s family slaughtered out of rage and fear. Although all of these occurrences take place because of Macbeth’s eagerness to be King, they all result in him being overtaken by shame and dismay.

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT, we're all accustomed to a certain standard, or stereotype that needs to be played. Whether it's being captain of the cheerleading team or the smartest kid in your class, it's one way or another that's there's going to be someone who's supposed to follow by these stereotypes or standards just for the sole fact that that's them.

    Macbeth: Deep Thoughts Yes, I believe that one selfish impulse could lead to a chain of decisions that can reflect on you with lots of pain and anguish. All the time I see people making poor, selfish decisions. I see it in movies, in real life, on T.V shows, and I also read about it in books. In the movies you see that people make decisions based on what they want, not what others want, then they end up getting bit in the rear end for it.…
