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.
