Act 4, scene i: My limits are being pushed. I thought I could handle this, I thought I wanted this. But now I question my past judgement. I question my husband's judgement now. He is king and I am queen. This is what we wanted. But at an unexpected cost. He is pushing our luck, we have what we want. I worry about his sanity. That he would stoop to such lows to seek the help of filthy hags? That he would send murderers to kill innocent women and children to secure his throne? It is unlike him. Was unlike him...
Act 4, scene ii: It is done! There is no turning back the clock! The terrible deed is done, Macduff's family is slaughtered. How can this be? How can such unneeded murders be on our hands? We have crossed the line, we have gone way too far. But I see no end to my husband's rampage! He does not listen to anyone but himself. Oh why did I ever plant the seed of possibility in his head?!
Act 4, scene iii: An army is coming. They are coming for us. For myself and my husband. To take away our throne! Everything we have worked for! All the obstacles we have overcome! How can this be? But maybe it is just. We must deserve this. After all, Macduff now knows the truth, that my husband is responsible for the murder of his family. What ever happened to contentedness?
Act 5, scene i: There is blood on my hands! All over my hands! Why won't it wash off?
Act 5, scene ii: They come closer still! We have little time left. There is a mad rush of battle preparations, so I suppose there is hope.
