Journal Entry # -Deception
By Yalda Omari
King Duncan has just left my castle. I can still feel his presence. Oh how naïve and trusting he is. A true fool. My two faced ness was plainly unseen. He did not sense a single thing. No suspicion of me or my malevolence plans. My hypocrisy did not hide the fact that I was a good hostess and knew how to welcome my loyal guest. He possibly thinks very highly of me. A very pleasant woman. Oh he has no idea of my dark and spiteful side. The side that wants him to suffer a painful and excruciating death. He is pathetic. All plans are set and soon Duncan’s death shall take place. I just need to goad my husband into taking action, for I am a woman, and I can not to do it myself. I will need to continue questioning his manhood and taking control. Although Macbeth is a cowardly type, my love for him is beyond measure. Oh how much I desire the kingship for my love. He deserves this title. But he first must murder Duncan in order to obtain it. I can not wait to become queen, and have my husband become King. It will be the most blissful day of my life!

Picture: Two-Facedness
A picture is worth a million words. This picture reminds me of: deception, two-facedness, dishonesty, and treachery. All these word sum up one aspect of Lady Macbeth’s character. This picture can be seen in two different ways. Firstly, just like the lady puts on a mask in the picture, Lady Macbeth hides her true self behind changing personalities. For example, she was two-faced to Duncan. Secondly, just like the lady takes off the mask in the picture, her true self is revealed at the end when she breaks down and feels guilt. For example, she couldn’t get the imaginary blood of her hands.

Video:Dove Campaign
The reason why I think this interesting video defines Lady Macbeth is because it is a perfect example of deceptiveness. The perfect cover-girl is not always the girl she naturally looks like. This shows how a pleasant-looking woman’s face becomes the cover-girl on a billboard. She is transformed via makeup, hairstyling and photo-alternation software for Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty Website. Just like the media is pressured into believing that this is real beauty, many were pressured into believing that Lady Macbeth is innocent. In reality, this girl is average looking and Lady Macbeth is evil.
