Macbeth Character Journal Act 5

Character Journal Act 5
            My thoughts darken. My guilt is overwhelming. It clouds my mind and all I think of, day and night. I have trouble getting sleep and when I do, my nurses tell me I mumble words and twist about. My head is full of terrible thoughts.
            I have thought through all conceivable ways out of this situation and I cannot think of a single escape. I’m locked in a prison of my sins. With the walls so thick, the only way out now is death. Death is the key, the key to my cell.
            So I bid farewell to the living world. I hope my passing does not bring great grief to Macbeth. I only hope that it brings a realization to Macbeth of his great sins so he feels just as guilty as me. I wish for him to join me in the afterlife.
