It's all my fault! (Vanessa)

Dear Diary,

I had no idea that my ambition to see my dearest husband become king would turn into such a disaster. I thought I was doing the right thing. It simply started with the death of King Duncan which was all Macbeth needed to do to become king. I wanted nothing but the best for him, which is why I used the tactics I did to achieve that.

Lately though, he’s been keeping secrets from me, and not telling me what he’s going to do next. I was the one who convinced him to kill King Duncan, I was there when he was feeling guilty about it, and I was the one who led it all. I would give up my own children for him. But now it’s all different.

Before I knew it, Lady Macduff and her beloved son were dead. I can’t help but feel this is my fault! Will this killing of innocent ever end? They did not deserve to die. I may have not killed them, but I feel like I am responsible for their deaths. What reason did he have to kill them? I would not know because he keeps me isolated from such information no matter how loyal I am to him. I feel betrayed by my own husband.

This image relates to my blog because it's a unique representaion of the scene where Lady Macbeth is sleep walking.(V.I.42) During this scene her guilt about the death of Lady Macduff and Lady Macduff's son is revealed. She is sleepwalking so what she is saying may not actually be happening. But, in her reflection it shows the blood of which she is talking about and that she feels giulty about.
