The following is an interview with King Macbeth
   

QUESTION
ANSWER
King Macbeth, are you proud to be the new king of Scotland?
Of course, being king is like a treasure to every one. My job is to rule the country and destroy any other evil power that is against us.
Who do you think has killed the previous king, the late King Duncan?
I think it is the power-thirsty sons of the saintly King Duncan. This murder took place just after Malcolm was named Prince of Cumberland. There are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that Malcolm killed his own father in order to be king faster. The second possibility is that Donalbain was jealous of Malcolm and killed Duncan in order to revenge on his father for naming Malcolm Prince of Cumberland instead of him. Both of these cowards have fled the country to escape suspicion. However, by fleeing, we think they plotted to kill Duncan.
Do you think that you are the rightful King of Scotland?
Of course, I am the rightful King of Scotland. Because of the fact that Malcolm and Donalbain have fled the country, the thanes should be given the next priority to be king. As one of the thanes, I am capable and should be the rightful King of Scotland.
Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, King of Scotland. What do you think of line of achievements that you have got in such a short period of time?
Thane of Cawdor was awarded to me by chance as the previous Thane of Cawdor was executed due to betrayal. King of Scotland was awarded to me because Malcolm and Donalbain fled.
Were you terribly shocked by the death of Duncan?
Erm… Duncan had always thought highly of him. What a powerful and saintly king he was? I bet that his death would have shocked all the people of Scotland. What more? He was killed in a brutal way which is very saddening.
Many people in the castle have reported that during the possible time when Duncan was killed, there were a lot of weird sounds that prove that something evil is going to happen. What do you think about this?
I was sound asleep during that time. I was tired from the drinks that I had that night during the dinner. My wife and I did not have any knowledge of the sounds. From what the people of the castle have described, the sounds probably indicated the evil that was going to be committed, probably the brutal murder of Duncan.
Congratulations for becoming King of Scotland. How well do you think you can run the country? What are the plans you have to serve the people of Scotland?
I would a good job, as good as Duncan’s or even better. I would even sacrifice myself for the well-being of the people of Scotland. Some plans that I have are training more boys in the army and also teaching them special techniques from all the thanes and noblemen.
Who do you think will be the next king?
My lady and me would probably try to have a boy, so that he can carry my bloodline ask king. If that is not possible, I would leave it to the sons of my thane to continue as kings.
