fter receiving a letter from Macbeth
Earlier today, I received a most urgent letter from Macbeth. ... They greeted him "All hail Macbeth, hail to thee,
Thane of Glamis! All hail Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All hail
Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter!" Macbeth was "rapt" with what the
witches had said and tried to question them further but they vanished into
a haze of fog. ...
Later that day Macbeth received a message from the King saying he was to
become Thane of Cawdor. ... I nearly told a
messenger who brought news of the King coming to stay, of my thoughts and
for one moment, I reacted as though Macbeth were already King, and I
Queen, I must be more careful in the future.
I have made the decision that Macbeth will be King, the only problem being
that he is "too full of the milk of human kindness" and does not have it
in him to do the unthinkable deed, at heart Macbeth is a giver and not a
destroyer. ...
I will have to teach Macbeth the lessons of deceit and hypocrisy. ... When I advised Macbeth he put
the "nights great business into my despatch", he knew that underneath the
domestic arrangements I was implying murder. Macbeth was less confident
than I was and I reassured him by saying "leave the rest to me". ...
Before the banquet was finished, while everyone was sitting down for the
meal, Macbeth left and went to the courtyard. ... I
even suggested that Macbeth was a coward, he kills people every day, yet
he cannot do this one thing. ... I was drawing a parallel between the cat and
Macbeth. ...
Macbeth was furious, I used the worst possible example that I could think
of to shock him. ... Macbeth was convinced.
Later that evening when everyone was fast asleep Macbeth was settled but
I was anxious; I had to take drink.
