Lady Macbeth Journal 3

I will begin by saying I convinced my husband to agree with my plan. I told him he would not be a man if he couldn't do it .  Macbeth has killed the king! I could not do it myself, he reminded me of my father. I did in fact kill the guards though, we needed to frame someone!  I am in hopes that this power I crave will soon come to us. Hopefully the prediction of the witches is true. Macbeth had become thane so I cannot see as to why this predictions outcome would differ.  If only I was a male, so I could hold this power on my own. Instead I am a female, the one behind my husband, pushing him. If i were a male this power would already be mine.  Power is what i desire most, and i will do whatever it takes to get it.

Journal 1 -Lady Macbeth

My husband has informed me with some rather strange news.  Three witches have told him they foresee that he will one day be Thane of Cawdor, and after that he will be king. I wonder if this is true. Could these witches be right? At first i was stunned at this assumption, but my husband has just become Thane.  Will I one day become queen? Oh the power. Now I know I cannot get ahead of myself here, these predictions could be incorrect. No, I will make this happen. I want power, I want to be queen. I shall make a plan, and assure my husband that this is for the best.  Yes. He will see it through and one day we will be king and queen.
