I spent about twenty minutes looking for the right video that interested me. When I finally came across this video, I realized that this was the best one to post. I chose this video because this scene shows that lady Macbeth reads the letter that Macbeth sent to her. Macbeth wrote in his letter the prophecies of the “Weird Witches”. The prophecy was that Macbeth will become king. When Lady Macbeth receives the letter and reads it from her husband she states “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promis'd. Yet do I fear thy nature, It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way” (enotes.com). The part that caught my attention the most while listening to this scene was “catch the nearest way” I found this part of her line interesting because I wanted to know what was she thinking. I looked it up on google.com and it lead me to a website that I found helpful which was enotes.com. Basically, Lady Macbeth’s first thought is to murder King Duncan. When I read more of the summery on wikipedia I found out that it was Lady Macbeth’s idea to kill King Duncan, and when Macbeth became hesitant about the whole idea, Lady Macbeth challenged his manliness. So like most men, Macbeth didn't want to feel like less of a man especially in front of his wife and knowing that he was this brave knight, he killed King Duncan.
