Macbeth †Closing Address to the Jury, Prosecution. Essay

Good morrow esteemed lords and ladies of the dally, it is within my sorrows to tell you that our dreadful thane (of both Glamis and Cawdor) and King Macbeth has murdered our fair (late) King Duncan for his own traitorous and greedy purposes. Macbeth has betrayed his country and committed regicide, the highest form of sacrilege. The prosecution has found Macbeth guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, with several accounts of murder, manslaughter, try murder, iodine account of regicide and conspiring to murder. (accessory to murder) Macbeth is a murderous heathen, whom want to heighten himself to the rank of King by betraying the country (already state this), his King and god. An earlier witness one of Macbeths Loyal servants, (the gentle woman) stated that he had comprehend Macbeth whispering I go, and it is done. The bell invites me. Hear it non, Duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell. ostensibly scared of Macbeths murderous mind, the servant stayed qui et until now. There were more witnesses as of yesterday, as a cutthroat hired by Macbeth told the jury of the atrocities he had performed, before being dragged off to be executed. To abduce the murderer said Macbeth threatened me with a certain death if I were to betray him.That was just a shimmer of the murderer within him. The prosecution would also like to point out that straight aft(prenominal) Duncans body was found, Macbeth killed the two intoxicated guards, blaming these poor innocent men for the murder, and also dispatching of two workable witnesses. Macbeth did also state O, yet I do repent me of my fury, that I did kill them. In stating them, Macbeth could acquit been referring to both the murdered slaves and our fair King Duncan. Macbeth also insinuated that the drunken guards murdered Duncan in his sleep, but if you feeling and think, and I am sure you are all intelligent Lords and Ladies, a drunken guard cannot violate more than a fly (people who are drunk are mor e likely to become precise aggressive), as they would not be able to stand.In an earlier testimony, we called upon Lady Macbeth, who, when confronted with the evidence and questioning, cracked low pressure and confessed her hand in murdering Duncan. Lady Macbeth acknowledged Macbeth and herself plotting to murder Duncan, Banquo, and MacDuffs wife and children. Macbeth also attempted to murder Fleance and MacDuff. A servant came forth and stated that Lady Macbeth had whispered to Macbeth Infirm of purpose furnish me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead, are but as pictures. Tis the eye of childhood, that fears a painted devil. If he do bleed, Ill gild the faces of the grooms withal, For it must seem their guilt. Lady Macbeth obviously did not know she was whispering loud passable for the Servant to hear. Unfortunately, Lady Macbeth has passed away now, ta tycoon her life before more answers arose.The defence earlier time-tested to state Macbeth was acting under the influence o f three evil witches. They stated that the witches had told him All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter According to the defence, this justifies treason, heresy, murder and plotting against the crown. The court was lucky (luck is not a part of their nature) enough to live one of the beldames (Weird Sisters and they dont listen to petty human demands and/or requests) in the room, whom stated that Macbeth sought to murder King Duncan on his own accord we witches merely stated he would be King. The Witch denied fuelling Macbeths murderous tendencies.MacDuff, slayer of the late Macbeth, retold the account of his familys murder, which was issued by Macbeth. He stated to the court that his wife and son were in the midst of talking when a murderer ( he wasnt at that place when they were murdered he had heard news of it but never witnessed it ), sent by Macbeth shook the home by declaring that he was a traitor. He stated that his son, a brave young lad, meant to protect his vex s name. His honourable son screeched at the Murderer, Thou liest, thou shag-eared villain This was followed by a black stab to his son, in which Lady MacDuff ran, shouting murder. The villainous murderer sought after Lady MacDuff, who could not outrun the murderous lunatic. MacDuff was severely shaken during this testimony, for reasons obvious to the court.He also recounted the end of Macbeth, in affirming I held his head I held the headof the treacherous king. I had to do it he slaughtered my family, my life I regret to say I enjoyed it, enjoyed taking back what he took from me. If this does not prove the guilt of Macbeth, I do not know what does. As the court can see, the mind inside of Macbeth was a sickening one, as he ordered the slaughter of innocent people, to secure his position as King. In all these inglorious acts, I believe it is in the interest of the court to say that Macbeth is guilty of multiple accounts of treason, murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, regicide a nd heresy. I thank you, esteemed lords and ladies, for your time in this period of turmoil. May King Duncan rest in peace, and the abominable Macbeth burn for his crimes.
