The Thane Of Glamis
i am thane of glamis
i inherited this position.
when my father Sinel died
how can you call me thane of cawdor?
he is alive, a rich and powerful man
to be king is completely impossible.
why give me this title?
it is just like the witches said
i am both the thane of glamiSAND THE THANE OF CAWDOR?
AND THE BEST PART OF WHAT THE WITCHES PREDICTED
IS TO COME.
TWO THINGS THE WITCHES HAVE TOLD ME
HAVE COME TRUE
IT SEEMS I WILL BECOME KING?
WHY DO I THINK ABOUT KILLING KING DUNCAN
MY HAIR STRANDS ON END AND
MY HEART POUNDS INSIDE MY CHEST.
WHO AM I ANYMORE?
DUNCAN IS COMING HERE TONIGHT
HE PLANS TO LEVAE TOMORROW.
IF THE ASSASSINATION OF THE KING
WAS FREE OF CONSEQUENCES.
BUT FOR CRIMES LIKE THIS THERE IS PUNISHMENT?!
THE KING TRUSTS ME.
I AM HIS KINSMAN AND HOST.
I SHOULD NOT BE TRYING OT MURDER HIM.
PEOPLE WILL FLOOD WITH A SHED OF TEARS
THE ONLY MOTIVATION AMBITION.
I CANT GO AHEAD WITH THE PLAN
AND IF I FAIL?
I HAVE DECIDED I WILL COMMIT THIS CRIME.
I SRAW A DAGGER.
MY COURAGE COOLS
I TALK TOO MUCH!
THE MURDER IS AS GOOD AS DONE.
