Macbeth+Project+-+Sydney+J+-+Trial+Paragraph

As a servant, I have been around Macbeth and Lady Macbeth quite a bit. Personally, I think they have always seemed sketchy. Lady Macbeth had a solid alibi for where she was during the murder, but only until she started to make up a story about her dead cat. There was no hard evidence of her murdering Duncan, and she had a solid alibi. Yet, she seemed to get nervous and make up a story as to why she felt so much guilt. The problem with the story though, is that she said the cat was a Siamese cat. That specie of cat does not exist (yet). Therefore, she couldn't possibly have had a Siamese cat. I believe Lady Macbeth to be guilty of the murder of King Duncan because of this factor. She has something to hide, and she took her own life because of incredible guilt. On the other hand, there is no hard evidence of Macbeth killing anyone besides the guards who he thought had killed Duncan. Duncan was his best friend, and he was honorable with his battle-field achievements. A closing statement pointed out that he served Scotland with all he had and built up the kingdom with his own hands, so why would he want to ruin that? Overall, I believe Lady Macbeth to be guilty of the murder of King Duncan, and Macbeth to be completely innocent. Although, the jury as a whole counted Lady Macbeth only guilty of lying to the court, and Macbeth still completely innocent.
