Hey guys, I've got an English speaking assessment and would love some feedback on what I've written. It's from Lady Macbeth's POV before she kills herself from the castle turrets. [For those of you who don't know, Lady Macbeth is this she's Macbeth's wife and is a really messed up character.]
It would be so easy wouldn't it? Solving a temporary problem with a permanent solution. Stepping nearer to the edge, I can feel the hell fires rising up, engulfing my body, waiting to drag me down so I can burn in hell with all the sinners before me. I can feel Satan in my head already, whispering sweet lies into my ear. It hurts, oh god it hurts. Why remind me of the lifes lost at my hand, of the people I've scarred. Why?... BUT NO! This wasn't my fault it was his! Why should I be denied entrance into the heavens because of what HE did. Why lord, why?
I just need forgivness, then I wouldn't have to contemplate this, but one does not simply forgive someone who has caused so much pain in the world. I feel relieved as I step closer towards my death. I feel as though ut would help the pain of those families, mourning at my cost. But then, I can feel those I have killed looking down at me, from their grand thrones in heaven. Luaghing at me with God by their side, watching me suffer in hell - hot sweat dripping down my tired, feeble, womanly body.
Death seems like the only way out - even my spirits can't help me now. They wouldn't even come near a sinful vody like mine. They disgust at the sight of me, I abused their powers, changing my innocent, womanly mind into a murderous man's. They laugh at me, the spirits - laugh at the woman who wanted more. Oh so much more! Power, riches, gold fame happiness I was promised! Happines... But I am far from it. Now I am In a deep despair of deppression that will never end.
I try to fight my urge to step off the edge, my mind tells me not to, it's stupid - it dosent have to end like this, you don't have to jump! Yet what is left of my sould tells me I should. The world dosent need Lady Macbeth anymore. Everyone will be happy if I just leave. Everyone hates me. I don't have anything or anyone to live for anymore...
So this is goodbye, to the world I have tainted, destroyed and hurt. All for power. well let me tell you this, power isn't everything, whoever goes up. Must come falling down
