So today I received a letter from my "dearest partner of greatness" (line 7) informing me about the greatness that is promised to us. Three witches met with him and prophesied that he'd be thane of Glamis and Cawdor and then going to be King. The news was very unexpected and random but I'm glad we have received it. The problem with my husband is that, of course he strives for the best and doesn't lack ambition, but he is too innocent and nice. He wants the crown but doesn't take action to make it be his already! Like okay... I understand it's fate so regardless it will happen but why have it later if you can have it now right? Later on the servant gave me the news that my husband will be coming here, along with the King and in all honesty, all I could think about was doing evil. I just feel like we should do what we have to do instead of lettingfate take its course. I want to kill the King and feel no type of sympathy. I want nothing, and I mean nothing, to get in the way of my evil plan. Finally, my husband came to me to inform me that the King, Duncan, will be coming and at that moment I explained to him what he must do in order to take the throne. When having that conversation I could see he was already bothered. I explained to him that he must "look like th' innocent flower, but be the serpent under 't." (Line 56) I didn't want to overwhelm him and trouble him because at a time like that I needed him to keep his calm but I needed him to know exactly how to act. He isn't really up for it but he knows that sooner or later he's going to end up doing it. He just has to!
