Anger is screaming from the depths of thine heart. It leaves my ears ringing. Macbaeth hath stolen thine kingdom with his evil little hands. I am the mighty Malcolm, true Prince of Cumberland. It was my job to protect my kingdom. No one plunders from me. I am supposed to be king. He murdered my father. Macbeth makes the acid in my stomach boil. I cannot stand him. I will pluck that hawk from the sky and there will be no more eggs to carry on his flock. His whole family will suffer from the pain that Macbeth has caused. He chopped a branch off my family tree. I can still feel the dagger plunging into my father's heart, taking his life away. When he killed my father he killed me too. It's like he took half my heart away and did not feel a thing. My father did not deserve to die; he was a gracious and fair king. I miss him. He will always be in my heart. I do not know what I will do without my father. Macbeth is full of evil. I hate him. My country has fallen because of him. He will have a miserable death. I am a falcon. I will sink my talons into his lungs and rip out his heart. I don't understand why he had to kill my father. Was he so full of greed that he could not wait? What was so important that that he had to take my father's life? I will never forgive that guy. I must be strong for my family and for my country. He will no longer be able to take what is mine.

I believed Macduff was a traitor. I felt like he would betray me, but it was Macbeth, destroyer of families, who turned his back on the noble Thane of Fife. He wants me to go back to Scotland. I should have listened, but my anger over Macbeth has caused me to lose faith in many more. I regret not trusting him. The fire in my eyes has finally been extinguished. I never believed that these guards could have committed such a crime. They were loyal to my father. My family trusted him. It was obvious that it wasn't them. I will avenge Macduff's family by killing Lady Macbeth. No one in my family deserved to die. Macduff's whole family is gone. He will fight fearlessly by my side. There is no Banquo to fight by Macbeth's side. He will be powerless. Scotland will not protect him. They will not stand behind a heartless and selfish king.

My uncle Siward is going to help me get revenge. He has ten thousand soldiers to lend me. I plan to use every one of them. We shall destroy what Macbeth has created. Even when Macbeth dies we will not be truly satisfied. Unequaled fury runs in my blood. Siward wants to see Macbeth burn and shrivel up. I'm sure that Siward hates Macbeth just as much as I do.

Once I kill him I plan to rebuild Scotland. I am a courageous leader. The people will follow me. I will be trustworthy. The people of Scotland will be able to rely on me. I ill reconstruct the land. I shall replace the jewels in Macbeths crown with my own. Scotland is mine. The land of my ancestors will fight to the end. I will get my country back. We will survive through this tough time. I must fix my country: for me, my father, and the people of Scotland.
