Macbeth Drafts.

Dear Gentlewoman,

Q. I cheated on my wide with one of my housemaids, and felt I loved them both in different ways. I

became so torn between them, as my lover became more and more demanding that I almost tried to

get caught... and I did.

My wife and I are going to see a doctor, and I want our relationship to work, but I can't forget about my

lover. She had left our house for another, but I see her around the village a few times a week. She only

looks at me and walks away. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist for long.

-Sailor

A. Pull yourself together. You can resist if you get real: wanting your marriage to work means making a

choice and sticking to it. You're not a poor victim who's torn between two women pulling at you; you're

a mature adult who must have some self control, even to the point of leaving the village, so she's "out of

sight, out of mind". She looks at yoi ecasue she thinks youre weak and will come back to her. Otherwise,

she'd avoid you as you should be doing. Man up with some inner strength, if you really hope to stay

married.

Dear Gentlewoman,

I keep seeing the ghost of my best friend. We were both Scottish noblemen and valiant defenders of the

late King Duncan. We went through a rocky road and I felt as he betrayed me, and then he passed away.

He appeared to me at an open banquet and before I went to bed. I have never believed are seen

supernatural until yesterday, and I'm not too sure if I'm going insane or if he is trying to tell me

something. The ghost makes me feel like I no longer know myself, and is starting to make me abandonmy values and conscience.

-M.B.

What you need to understand and ascertain is that some spirits are ghost, and some spirits do travel

back and forth from other dimensions and may not know that they are dead and it's easy for them to

become confused. You are sensitive to the spiritual world and the ghost may have been trying to tell you

something that he wish he could of told you when he was still alive.

Macbeth Beheaded!

by Michelle Nguyen

Scotland- Yesterday, King

Macbeth was murdered in his

palace on Dunsinane Hill by

Macduff's hand.

This served as the conclusion of

the war between England and

Scotland. It was obvious that

Macbeth was not a great king,

but Macduff had personal issues

with him. "He killed my wife

and children, along with all myservants. I needed to be the one

to kill that monster" (5.7.15-16).

Macduff associated with

Malcolm to lead an army

of___who gave the ___ ten

thousand soldiers to fight for the

throne. The battle ended with

Macduff carrying Macbeth's

head out to the crowd of

spectators, announcing his

death.

In order to ensure their victory

in the war, Malcolm had come

up with a plan. The soldiers

were seen carrying large trees

from Birnam Wood as they

approached their castle. The

trees were used to conceal the

great number of soldiers that

were coming, and added an

aspect of surprise.

The war was an easy win for

Macduff and Malcolm, even

without their clever plan. Many

of Macbeth's soldiers turned

against him and began fighting

for England. "Every minute

more and more men began to

rebel against him," Angus

reported shortly after the battle

(5.2.18). This fact is not hard to

believe after hearing the

shocking reports about

Macbeth's journey to the throne.

Review this section!

Lady Macbeth's previous doctor

admitted to her problem wutg

skeeo walking and told of the

frightening things she had said

while in such a state. "She

would wash her hands

frantically to try and get the'blood' off. We soon figured out

that this was linked to Duncan's

death. She also spoke of the

murder of Banquo, who

Macbeth had once been best

friends with. It was very

distracting to hear" (5.1.34-61)

A witness also reported hearing

Macbeth talking to himselfshortly before the battle. "He

seemed to have realized that all

the bad things he had done didn't

get him anywhere. He said that

there wasn't much point to his

life anymore" (5.3.22-26).

Old Siward of England and his

son also helped in the battle

against Macbeth. Unfortunately,

Young Siward died by

Macbeth's hand in an effort of

bravery.

Due to their victory, Malcolm is

to be our new king. His

coronation wil take place soon

in Scone. "I am a good man, and

I'll be a good king. I've never

lied, nor am I greedy and will

not deceive anyone," Malcolm

promised shortly before the

battle (4.3.126-132).

It is certain that peace will be

restored in Scotland now that

Macbeth is no more.

Malcolm's Upcoming Coronation

by Michelle Nguyen

Scotland- Malcolm, son of the former King Duncan, is to be named King and has invited all to watch him

be crown'd at Scone" and celebrate the start of new and better beginning for Scotland (5.7.104).

Malcolm returned back to Scotland after fleeing when he saw his father's mangled body Macbeth's

castle. Once Malcolm had left the country, Macbeth had became King and had situated murderers

through the path of returning to Scotland to take his place at the throne. So Malcolm sent out "Old

Siward, with ten thousand warlike men" to fight against Macbeth (4.3.134). In the end, Macduff held the

head of the "tyrant" (5.7.14).

Many people are excited and ready for a new start with a superior King, such as Malcolm. He is expected

to be not only a far superior leader than his precedor, Macbeth, but even greater than his own father.

Malcolm, unlike his father, knows that you cannot trust everything you hear or everyone. Macuff even

admitted that before they went against Macbeth, Malcolm had tested him with "false speaking" to see

how loyal he was to his country and Malcolm, the King (4.3.130).

Malcolm will also be an excellent King because he speaks nothing but "good truth and honour" (4.3.17),

as he is already wide known and respected by all of Scotland. "Hail, King of Scotland" and a glorious new

future for all. (5.7.88).
