Desperation does have a habit of altering the senses. I was once a happy man, married with a child and with no idea what fate would throw at me. And now I am a shell of a man punished for meddling in what I shouldn’t of have.
Life changed for everyone people started dropping like flies from the latest viral infection but like flies when you think you finally have killed them, they just keep flying. The few people like me who didn’t get sick formed there own tribes in any building they could fortify.

The battle was going well until as I turned to attack another I saw Duncan swarmed, my brain froze as I watched people if you could still call them that sink there teeth into our leader and as if I had been possessed raised my gun and put a bullet into Duncan’s head.
As soon as I had done it I saw the consequences immediately all fighting had stopped and all gazes where on me and my trusty gun there was a peaceful silence for a few seconds that felt like forever but it was broken by my gun hitting the floor I must have blacked out body running on fear because the next thing I remember is Banquo standing over me in our sleeping quarters with eyes that glistened with
Macbeth has slapped the heavens in the face when he slaughtered our beloved King Duncan. Whom god did appoint himself, he was the chosen representative of god himself. Let it be known the rightful king was the victim of cold blood murdered at the hands of Macbeth. Slaughtered in the shadows of the night, while he was a sleep; a cowardly and devilish act. Macbeth has violated God’s natural order and thrust himself upon the throne and today we will carry out God’s intended plan and return order. Today when we fight, we fight for Duncan who never got to fight for himself.
Macbeth rejects conformation to traditional gender roles in its portrayal of Lady Macbeth’s relationship with her husband, her morals and their effect on her actions, and her hunger for power. Her regard for Macbeth is one of low respect and beratement, an uncommon and most likely socially unacceptable attitude for a wife to have towards her spouse at the time. She often ignores morality and acts for the benefit of her husband, and subsequently herself. She is also very power-hungry and lets nothing stand in the way of her success. Lady Macbeth was a character which challenged expectations of women and feminism when it was written in the seventeenth century.
“If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me Without my stir?” Macbeth ponders after three witches foresee that he will become king in the tragic play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare (349). Macbeth is wondering how he could become king of Scotland without him intervening as he is not in line for the throne. He believes that he will have to take action to gain this position. Macbeth was right to doubt fate, because his choices led to his ascension to the throne and, later in the play, to his downfall.
In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the protagonist, Macbeth, murders the king of Scotland and eventually murders several other people. In the end, Macbeth meets his tragic fate of being killed by the nobleman Macduff. Throughout the play, Macbeth makes decisions that affect his fate, but other characters manipulate his choices and his actions. Early in the play Macbeth, Macbeth has control over his actions, but due to the influence of other characters and his subsequent insanity, by the end of the play, Macbeth has no control over his fate.

I asked for unnatural darkness so that heaven will not see and cry: "Hold, hold!" No one must see the murder, as killing the King is an unthinkable act; it is just like killing God. I will have to teach Macbeth the lessons of deceit and hypocrisy. I told him "bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue; look like th' innocent flower, but be the serpent under't." I meant the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who is really the Devil. After that I felt so confident, I was able to pun.
The one who is at fault in the play of Macbeth written by William Shakespeare is not all who presume it is. Some say the blame is on the Witches, some say Lady Macbeth, but Macbeth is the real man at fault. He was at choice of his decisions, only slightly pressured by his wife, Lady Macbeth. Macbeth dug himself into a hole he was not able to climb out of. There was no return to the light side for him as he had no regrets, he was inhumane, and cold-blooded. There are many examples that show his inhumanity towards others throughout the play, one cold-blooded act to another with no turning back. It was a painful ending for Macbeth since no one showed sympathy for him as his head ended up on a sword. Macbeth is at fault for all the critical events within the play as he is the one that killed Banquo, King Duncan, and Macduff’s family.
The smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air and the crisp air of the night attacked my brain. In a split second, my vision became blurred and black webs formed in front of me.

Well, you have to understand that she IS my wife and she wanted the best for me it seemed. But now I realize that I never should have listened to her. I should have left it to fate and been content with the position of Thane of Cawdor for the time.
