Malcolm's Inner thoughts

The world had turned upside down…

I think it was my cowardliness that I did not face the situation. Scotland needs me and I have to support them. However, was it wise for me to run away, leaving the throne in the wrong hands? My father and Scotland expected so much from me, I have to take over the throne, its mine.

Macduff he is a dear friend of mine, he had come to me today. I hate to say it, but I cannot trust him, he has been with Macbeth long enough, its may be his ploy to support me. I cannot be as trustful as my father can be, I do not want be deceived and lose my life. Therefore, I tested him and he has proven himself worthy of my trust. I told Macduff I was a dishonour to the throne. However, Macduff believed that I would be a much wiser, generous and courageous king than Macbeth.

However, those words from my mouth could have been true, self-indulgence and greed can enrage anyone to crime. I don’t think I have all good qualities of a king needs, such as justice, stability, generosity, perseverance, patience, and bravery. Instead, I will overflow with every variation of all the different vices. If anyone had power, they would take world peace and throw it down to hell, its just human nature and the desire for power.

Although, I want to take revenge of my father’s death and reinstate the freedom from strife in Scotland. The throne has to come in the right hands. I will become King, although not as remarkable as my father. The army is ready. All I have to do now is say goodbye to the king.

A new day will come at last…

Malcolms inner Contradictions (Reflecting on occurences in Act 4, Scene3) - Ella

When will this madness ever end?

Macbeth is causing tragic events in Scotland, and I am here in England, doing nothing. I am everything my father would not want me to be. Macduff came to me today, but I felt as though he could be being disloyal. So I put him through a test. I told him that I am just as bad as Macbeth, and waited for him to say the right answers, answers that would prove him to be loyal to Scotland, and not on Macbeth's side. He passed my test. But then I got to thinking...


What if me becoming king of Scotland changed me to be like Macbeth? I know myself better than anybody else, and no one would believe me if I expressed that concern to them. You see, I simply haven't been given an opportunity to exercise my greed and my lust for power. I know that if I was given that opportunity, I would exercise it just as much as Macbeth does. Power changes people, just as it did to Macbeth. It is a sad thing to think, but I am afraid that if I go back, I would do more damage to Scotland than Macbeth has done.

I don’t know what I should do. We seemed to have agreed to go back and fight Macbeth, to restore peace to Scotland. I just hope that if I become King, I will rule like my father.

Malcolm's journal entry sharing his feelings and thoughts after the King's death

Oh bloody crafty villain,
Who had shed sacred blood.
What had he done to you that you stole his last breath?
My father, my companion, my ally, my throne
We escaped to the woods
Dashing upon the chilled humidity
His kingdom afforested
Our mare met and fed on the olive pasture
Silence
Then he told me I was going to be Scotland’s wise ruler
He laid firm my grounds
And taught me the formula
The way to realm
It was the one being who saw through my physical
Dug deeper to understand me
Grasped my faults and flaws
Then his spirit flew to heaven and earth shook
Disorder reins in Scotland for he has vanished
Speechlessly
Forever
But his spirit shall haunt the victim forever
And when his spirit dies mine will haunt thy murderer evermore
He shall never lie at rest
For he has stole the countries queen
My father hear me now
I have one last remark
I must flee and veil
For danger besieges in Scotland
I shall return hereafter
When as per the precise clock
To reclaim thy kingdom to its fullest
In thy name I ask for valor and direction
Lead my way
Rest mine existence in your hands
Dearest vicar
