Macbeth+Project+-+Mitchell+B+-+Sonnet

Macbeth is mine, queen I will be, so close Easy it was, the fool subdued, Childs play From a lowly wife wed to him I rose Without Duncan we are royal all day Ambition got me here, actions by me Macbeth was just a tool for me to use Macbeth could almost not do it, hardly I will escape, unharmed without a bruise After some thought I see all my mistakes How could I have thought this idea so good All of my actions were not worth the stakes If only we had waited, like we should What happened has happened, no use crying Nothing is left for me except dying The main ideas I wanted to portray in this poem was that in my opinion, lady Macbeth doesn’t necessarily care what so ever about whether or not Macbeth would be king, rather she is looking to secure power for herself. She is the catalyst that causes Macbeth to murder Duncan, and without her, it would not have happened. I felt this was a strong presence throughout the play, especially in the first half. In my opinion she is a scheming woman, and a malicious character. However later on in the play when Macbeth and she have a role reversal, she becomes more skeptical of the actions taken, as I showed in my poem. In the end of the play it is implied that she committed suicide, and the tragic story ends.
