Reign of Macbeth, No More!


Macbeth Slain by Macduff

 
The King of Scotland’s reign of terror was no more, when Macduff was seen carrying Macbeth’s decapitated head yesterday afternoon. Citizens have believed that Macbeth’s tyrant would soon be no more, when they saw Macduff arrive with his militia. A Gentle woman stated that Lady Macbeth was feeling quite ill before Macbeth went to face Macduff, and later jumped to her death.

 

 Macduff claims that the former King of Scotland told him that “[he] bears a charmed life, which must not yield to one of woman born.” Reporters believe that Macbeth thought he was invulnerable to the power of man who was born of a woman. “Macduff, was from his mother’s womb untimely ripp’d”, which reporters believe that is why he was destined to kill Macbeth. Reporters also believe that Macduff had motives to kill Macbeth because Macbeth was secretly behind the killing of his wife and children.

Although Scotland has lost a blood-thirsty King who was hungry for power, they gained a new noble one as well. Malcolm, decedent of Duncan now holds the throne of Scotland. Citizens are pleased that their new King comes from a great father and hope to see great things with his new title.
