In Act IV scene II of William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, he recounts Macbeth’s murder of my family. This was the saddest thing to ever happen to me. I felt anger and rage but before I acted I grieved. In the end my revenge was fulfilled but the pain of my loss stays.
Macbeth himself did not kill my family. Like the coward he was he had others do it for him. I would like to stick it to them but that is for another play. Macbeth could not even do his own dirty work. He did not want my family’s blood on his hands. He should have taken responsibility for his horrible deeds.
However upset I am about my family I cannot help but be proud of my son. He used his final words to encourage my wife to flee. He was a smart and courageous lad. It saddens me that I will not see him become a man.
The picture I chose to represent Macbeth’s killing of my family is a picture of Vikings raiding a defenseless town and killing priests. The picture relates to my family’s murders because, like my family, the monks are innocent and almost defenseless.
The video clip I chose is one from the movie Braveheart. It is one of my favourite movies `and its story is similar to my story. Braveheart is about William Wallace fighting for freedom for Scotland, he began his fight after the English killed his wife. After Macbeth killed my family I started to fight for Scotland’s freedom from Macbeth’s reign.
I’m sorry but its now time for me to be off. Fife’s got a storm blowing in from the North Sea. Take a look at the video link.
Sincerely, Macduff
