Will this guilt ever subside? Will my heart and conscience ever be cleansed? For I remember I was once a woman of innocence, of purity. I wore a heart so white. What have I done in this world? What have I achieved? These moments of power are nothing compared to the feeling of a clean soul. The lust to have power was an overwhelming one , and it consumed me. It took over my thoughts and made me think differently. The want for power ran through my veins like a rapid venom. I was overwhelmed by the witches prophecies and my yearning for my great love, my dearest Macbeth, to become king. They opened my hidden desires and forced me – yes they plagued me with my own greed.

The corpse of him who once was my friend, instead now my victim. Such feelings of guilt are forever twisting like a constricted snake in my stomach. These images become reality when the ghosts are present. Or tis this just my insanity? For all I know he haunts me througmurky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? Who would have thought that the old man could have so much blood in him? The smell of the blood is still; all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten these stained hands of mine.
I have lost all control over my body, my thoughts and my actions. I deserve all the consequences in the world for the wrong I have done. I shall forever hang my head for my actions, and no longer rejoice that I do not han a woman of guilt. My false face hides what my false heart does know,
