Malcolm's POV

This episode has taught me so much about people, and how the social hierarchy sets us all up to play into the hands of mischief and betrayal. My father was a good man, and yet he was betrayed by the Thane of Cawdor, not once but twice. Was it fair for Macbeth to be awarded more honor than the position that had been held by a traitor? I could agree if he had thought that, but to play so foully for it? Was the reward Macbeth received fair? Had he earned it? Or had he earned more? I cannot speak for my fathers interpretations of Macbeth's deeds, but could it possibly have been fair for my father the king to then lose his life? Is one man more deserving of another for the throne? What does that mean for me, now that I am king? Truthfully I do not know if I am deserving of this throne. When my father was killed I ran away in fear for my own life. The throne was given rightfully to Macbeth, despite his having played so foully for it, and it is I who became a traitor to the land and brought an army back to these shores. Did I not lose the claim to the throne when I left, was it not given to a man whom deserved it? The people say that it is fair, I retook the throne that was mine by divine right, but the throne had been lost to me at that moment, so how can I say that it is now truly mine? If all the world is fair then why must such foul happenings take place to make it so?
