1) Had Macbeth not chosen to kill Duncan, do you think he would have eventually become king? Why?
If Macbeth didn’t kill Duncan, I think he may not be the next king. If he is fated to be the king, no evil acts will be needed to be carried out to fulfill his destiny. Furthermore, the witches’ prophecies may not be true too. They may have came up with the prophecies to lead Macbeth onto carrying out such evil acts, under his wife’s persuasion. Macbeth’s cold and evil wife also contributes to such evil acts that Macbeth had done as she questioned his character when he was doubtful of what to do, which quicken his way to succeed the throne.
2) During e-learning, you wrote a short email from Macbeth to his wife. Now as Lady Macbeth, write a short reply to her husband via email as well.
Dear sweetheart,
Are the witches’ prophecies really true?? Then quickly kill Duncan and succeed the throne already! Do not get so soft hearted and carry this action out bravely! Think of the future that we can have and do not hesitate! With the throne, we can have all the power we want and eliminate our enemies! Now, listen to me and get rid of Duncan for our predestined future as predicted by the witches! Do adhere to my advice and return to me soon.
Your darling,
Lady Macbeth
