Arrival at the House of my Newly Crowned Thane



I did not expect the house of my newly crowned Thane of Cawdor, to be so welcoming. Their home is so heart-warming that birds too were nesting upon it. Our host and his wife showed us great hospitality upon our entrance and made me feel as if I was at home. I can definitely feel the positive effect Macbeth with have on Scotland as Thane of Cawdor. I still somewhat dwell upon the betrayal of that devious thane before Macbeth, but remind myself that we must move on for the sake of our kingdom. Resting here in Macbeth’s chambers makes me feel a sense of pride that I am in the home of one of my most worthy men. I lay my trust upon Macbeth, just as I did upon the untrustworthy previous thane. But I am assured that Macbeth will not play with my trust and will honor the title I have given him. Although, I do feel that I must stay aware of my surroundings, not only for myself but also for the well-being of my nation.

This great visit to my thane's house is reminding me of that wonderful song "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast...

"We'll keep going
Course by course
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!"
