Journal Entry #4 [Shak]

The tyrant’s death bell has rung!

Dearest Journal,

My soul rests in peace. I am in heaven right now and thanks to the overseeing crystal ball I have the abilities to see what is happening in Scotland. My ghostly approach at the banquet scared Macbeth out of his luxurious trousers. But that was not enough to satisfy my rage and fury. First he mercilessly killed the honourable King, then me (once being his ally), and lastly the pitiful Lady Macduff and her babes. I knew that Macbeth will play’dst most foully to attain all the prophecies the three weird sisters had promised him. I was pleased when I caught a glimpse of Birnam Wood advancing to Dunisnane castle. The English power has done the right thing of challenging Macbeth in order to restore Scotland’s pride. I knew Macbeth had no chance against the English forces lead by Malcolm, Macduff, and Siward, especially after the point when his people ditched him and fought on the other side. I am glad that I had died and that Fleance had escaped. Even if I was alive I would’ve been haunted by the thoughts of the prophecy, awaking me night after night, restricting me from living as my casual self. I would have also had conflicts with Macbeth, the rivalry between us would have caused fights, arguments, and other problems. Oh the horror, just thinking about it sends shivers down my transparent body. From this day on, Scotland will be ruled by the most loyal kings. Hope that at least my prophecy is fulfilled, with my sons taking their roles as valuable kings . I am sure Macbeth is down his way to hell, where the demons and devils meet him to teach him his valuable lesson. Oh wait, there’s an entry to hell past the borderline in heaven. Not so sure if I’m allowed but if I was I would go up to him and show him what he got for his cruel deeds. I would recall all his mistakes and make him cry about his loopholes in life. Hope he understands how it feels like to get killed, and also to enter a place where you will not enjoy your after-life. Most of my loved ones are here at heaven, our paradise, but the one who selfishly cared about his prophecy and didn’t care less about his friends must be tortured! By the way, the crystal ball showed Lady Macbeth suiciding. I was curious all this time whether she was involved in Macbeth's crimes. Maybe a search in heaven and hell will provide the answer for my question. I will leave now and meet up with my friends, hope to write more things soon.

Banquo.

This song is called "Will you meet me in heaven?" composed by John Cash. He died on September 12, 2003, leaving us memories of his golden compositions. This song mentions the trip to your after-life, outlining the depths of heaven's attributes and features. I felt this relates to Banquo, and how he is making posts in heaven. Josh Cash seemed like he composed this song in heaven, knowing how it looks and feels like to be in a world of paradise.
