Life Through the Eyes of Lady Macbeth

The banquet is ruined!!

The banquet was going well. Macbeth behaved like any gracious host should. He was perfect in every way. He welcomed the guests, asking them to sit according to ranks. He was in such a jovial mood that he almost had me convinced that the earlier conversation we had was all a dream. Macbeth was indeed like a serpent underneath an happy, bubbly flower. I think he has mastered the art of pretence. But then all that changed!! Halfway through the banquet, he suddenly left and just disappeared. And I had to look for him! At first, I thought it was only a minor setback but to my horror, things became bad to worse. Macbeth gave a toast and then wished that Banquo was at the Banquet. That was when things took a drastic turn!....Lennox asked him to take a seat but he replied that there was no seat left. At that moment, I suspected something was wrong. And I was right!!!
That Macbeth actually thought a GHOST was sitting at his place. And this did not happened just once but twice!!

What an idiot that Macbeth is! He almost gave us away and spoiled the banquet. Oh, of course, I still love you, my dear....But how stupid you were! You told me to mask my true feelings but what about you?? You just had to hallucinate again. How many times must this happen?? Shouldn't you be used to the idea of death and blood??? You are a warrior, a fighter. You should be used to all this. If not for me......I do not know what the outcome would be! I had to lie and say that you had fits since young. Are you a man?? First you hallucinated about the dagger and now this. Shame on you!! You better get back to your senses or else.......

That fool still insisted that he had saw a ghost!! He even asked the guests why they were not afraid!Oh my gosh!! stupidity upon stupidity... how could i have married this nincompoop and put my life on the line for his happiness?? How stupid can you get!! In the end, I had to ask the guests to leave, putting us in a bad light. But all in all, I think he was just guilty. But guilty of what?? I think this has something to do with the absence of Banquo and Fleance from the banquet. However, he managed to pull himself together. Thank heavens!!Macbeth is now suspicious of Macduff since he did not attend the meeting. Macbeth has decided to visit the witches to enquire about the future.

He has also decided to do anything to secure his position. Just what is he planning to do? And what has he already done?? I have so many questions in my head. One thing is for sure, the Macbeth I had married is so different from the Macbeth I now know. And I am not sure if I like this drastic transformation......
