Blog 16: Story Time Macbeth Style

Once upon a time, in a far off land called Scotland, there lived Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. One day, three weird ladies visited Macbeth and told him of all the dreams they had about him and what he would become. They said that he would one day become King of Scotland and be so famous that he'd be able to wear a crown all the time. Macbeth felt invincible! He walked back home and waited and waited for a knock at his door saying he was now King, but it never came. He decided that he was going to make this happen himself, so he and Lady Macbeth made up a plan. They were going to make a potion for King Duncan, who was King at the time, and make him sleep for a very long time, so that Macbeth could take the title. They were successful! Macbeth became King and Lady Macbeth queen. Everything was good and happy until one day, Macbeth's best friend Banquo got suspicious of his wrongdoings. By this time, Macbeth's fame had gone to his head and he did the same thing to Banquo that he did to King Duncan. By the end, he had pushed away everyone who he loved and was sad and lonely. A good man Macduff who knew that Macbeth had become bad took care of him and Scotland lived happily ever after.
