Trial Paragraph
The jury has come to the verdict of charging Lady Macbeth with perjury and there is not much evidence beyond reasonable doubt that justifies the accusation of Macbeth murdering Duncan or Banquo. Lady Macbeth claims that her hallucinations and disease are from the guilt of the death of her Siamese cat. The time period of Macbeth was the 11th century and the Siamese cat was not bred until the 15th century, thus, Lady Macbeth lied about the reason for her hallucinations. The guilt she was feeling was not for the death of her cat, the cat was a cover-up for Duncan. Though Duncan said that he saw Macbeth discreetly, there is no way he is 100% sure that Macbeth was the one who committed the murder. As a noble I feel as though Macbeth would have loved to have power, along with his wife. In the trial Lady Macbeth says that she doesn't think that Lady Macbeth is power hungry but stated that she likes the idea of power. While the prosecution was not really able to get the Macbeth to say much in the trial, Lady Macbeth was proved to commit a crime, and there is not more beyond reasonable doubt about the accusation of Macbeth murdering Duncan or Banquo.
