Reimagined Macbeth

As told by Jackson DD

McB

If it is to be done when its done, it should be done quickly. If the assassination can get what I want, then that’ll be all there is. But then again, that life would end. I still have a conscience that has not been taught to ignore these things. This act demands that I end who I am now.

He is here because he trusts me, both as a friend and his subject. These are both things that should stop me from considering this. And as his host I am supposed to protect him. Besides, Duncan is welcomed in his position. People will mourn his death to the point of great unrest. With all this, I am only my ambition, which put she doubt to shame.

(Enter Lady MacBeth)

Hello! What have you come to say?”

Lady McB

He is almost finished dinner. What did you leave?

McB

Did he call for me?

Lady McB

You don’t know that he has?

McB

Wife, we cannot continue with the plan. He‘s been too kind to me and I have heard too many good things about him from people who would not change their minds.

Do you hear me ?
