Macbeth being persuaded by his wife decides to murder his loyal king to fulfil his want of becoming king. Macbeths excessive want to be powerful leads him to his downfall.

A mix between being power hungry and selfishness can lead to destruction and mass chaos.

Macbeth killed to gain power for himself, and so did O.J Simpson. Both men were dominated by their power hungry and selfishness, which lead to the death of Macbeth and Nicole Brown.

William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the main character; Macbeth, is seen as an evil character. The play is based off of Macbeth’s decisions and his actions to become King. In the beginning Macbeth starts out as a hero in Scotland’s war with Ireland and towards the end he is transformed into a murderer.

The extent that economic hardship contributed to the rise to power of Hitler should not be underestimated. However, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was based upon various factors that certainly included the backdrop of economic hardship. The complex relationship between these factors is as important to analyse as the elements of economic hardship. The energy and organisation of Hitler and the Nazis is just as important as the effect of the Treaty of Versailles, the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic (in which Hitler exploited at every turn) and finally, Hitler’s greatest opportunity, the Great Depression.

Macbeth’s lust for power is heavily displayed in literature and is also evident in many political figures in history. This is strongly showed in history, with mirrored actions of Hitler. The strongest of which, were both of their ambition to gain power. Although in their roots, they have their differences. Macbeth started out as passive and obedient, but as the witches controlled him, the stronger they manipulated him. Macbeth then grew fearful of getting caught from his actions, and then did whatever it took in order to not get caught. While Hitler was bad from the start. Hitler started with hatred and wanted to cleanse the world of all he thought was wrong. Hitler, like Macbeth, also committed tyranny, but Hitler didn’t continue to kill to hide his actions, he cleansed a religion for the sake of ideology and the view that it helped his country; Macbeth fell into mass-murder to protect his own self-interest.
