Gentle Women Monologe (Macbeth)

Gentle Women Monologe (Macbeth)

Tonight’s banquet was to be a peaceful inaugural for King Macbeth. The table setting was superb, the food looked ever so delicious but the evening was far from peaceful. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were both acting so absurdly - especially Macbeth, with that unexpected outburst of utter madness. And once the guests left, the evening became even more restless as they argued and argued until my Lady started weeping. The two of them seem to be splitting further and further apart, and it pains me to listen.

Macbeth and his Lady have always had such passion and romance - when Macbeth came home from battle the two could not keep their hands off each other. But, lately, their relationship is dismal. For tonight at the feast, when Macbeth began to madly accuse someone for his hallucinations, Lady Macbeth did not comfort Macbeth instead she hissed at his cowardly behaviour. The only intentions Lady Macbeth had were to punish Macbeth for acting so outrageous and causing the guests to be suspicious. And Macbeth did not show much affection either. I heard them talking around the corner, arguing and cursing at each other. I believe it is all this power that has driven them apart and all the paranoia. I know why they are paranoid and it disgusts me.

Lady Macbeth has been a grand master over the years. At times she was demanding when she would, say cruel things about me and my education but others times inviting so overall we were comfortable when in each other’s presence. I was content being her gentle women - guiding her, comforting her - but I cannot be here any longer. Lady Macbeth, as well as Macbeth for that matter, have both turned into evil demons performing evil deeds. Lady Macbeth has horrid mood swings - one minute she is distressed about her relationship with Macbeth, and then the next minute she is furious towards him, it is quite terrifying! However her actions with Macbeth are much worse and even more frightening. I was not immediately suspicious...
