Leadership In Macbeth

It is human nature to want power, to be at the top of the pyramid, to be king/queen, but that comes at a price as shown in Macbeth. In the play, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth will do anything to have absolute power and nothing stands in their way. From killing to going completely mad, they will become the next king and queen at all costs. The ambition and the want for power is so high that they kill many, they do whatever they can to be one step closer, and they go completely insane, all because they want that absolute power.

Macbeth’s performance during the battles showed true bravery and courage. He Beheads Macdonwald, and he defeats Macdonwald rebels. Macbeth was able to fight off the Norwegians and the Scottish traitors, which was the Thane of Cawdor. Because of all this, King Duncan gives Macbeth the title Thane of Cawdor.

Almost everybody wants to have a lot of power, but when a person gets told that they are going to be something they want to make that something come by even faster so that they do not have to wait. In the story Macbeth by Shakespeare it shows how two men will achieve their destinies, but one of them is told that he will be king and the other is told that his descendants will be king. It shows how one man will do anything just cause he wants him and his wife to be king and queen, plus they will not let fate make them king and queen they will make themselves do that.

Most people are focused on the cons in their life and how they can make them better, but what they don't realize is all the things they should be grateful for. Their desire for power caused lady Macbeth and Macbeth to make sinister decisions that caused their downfall.

Insanity and paranoia is the result of a guilty conscience. Guilt can kill. Not only physically but mentally. Everyone in the world has the right to make decision. Whether they are intelligent or inferior. When someone make a poor decision there is always consequences. For example a consequence may be the feeling of guilt. The power of guilt can be seen many times throughout Macbeth. Three pieces of evidence of guilt in macbeth is after the unlawful murders he committed, hallucinating, and Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene.

Power impacts everyone greatly, whether it be as motivation to succeed or have it brainwash them into giving reason to their immoral acts. In William Shakespeare's play, Macbeth; The Odyssey by Homer; and Erich Maria Remarque’s novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, power is a substantial theme which has negative effects. Shakespeare's play is about an ambitious soldier, Macbeth, with the desire to become king and will do anything to get to the top. All Quiet on the Western Front is a novel about Paul, a german soldier, and his damaging experience in the battle for power between two sides of the world. Homer’s epic poem tells the story of man, Odysseus, and his long journey home after leaving his throne to defend his country. The desire for dominance and power can result in disregarding the humanity of others that stand in the way.

Themes are a huge representation in several stories as they deliver the truth and lesson about life. In Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Macbeth, witches arrive and confess to Macbeth about his future of being King of Scotland. Macbeth becomes King of Scotland and murders masses of people to prevent them from taking his title so that he would remain as king forever. Blood is a relevant theme of this play as it runs throughout Shakespeare's story.

Macbeth’s greatest weakness is his ambition, but it is also his greatest strength. Despite his ambition being one of his major weaknesses, it is not his sole weakness he exhibits that contributes to his inevitable death. At the beginning of William Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ the protagonist Macbeth is described as ‘brave’, ‘noble’ and ‘honourable’, however Lady Macbeth’s and Macbeths desire for power consumes them. Macbeth’s ambition overrides his conscience and transformed his greatest strength into his greatest weakness. Macbeth’s inability to resist temptations that led him to be greedy for power, Macbeth’s easily manipulative nature which allowed his mind to be swayed, Macbeth having no self control and his excessive pride was what allowed him to renew his previously honourable and celebrated title into one of an evil ‘tyrant’.

Power is always coveted in any society and the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is no different. In the play, Macbeth, a noble lord, shows his hunger for power with thoughts to remove an heir to the throne from power. Macbeth’s impatience to be king leads him to stain his honor by using murder. Macbeth travels further down the path of evil by arranging the assassination of a friend. Macbeth loses his last scrap of morality when he orders the murder of innocents to enrage a rival. Shakespeare’s Macbeth shows that humans will do whatever it takes to achieve and maintain power by charting Macbeth’s descent from noble thane to murderous tyrant.

William Shakespeare, playwright of Macbeth, shows the importance that power and corruption can hold on a person’s humanity. In order to prove the true effect of personal gains, he uses the main character, Macbeth, to show how evil people are willing to become. Personal power has the ability to be essential to greatness, but at the same time is able to destroy a person’s true nature. Believe it or not, Macbeth once was a man of honor. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth was loyal to King Duncan, a strong military leader, and a respected husband. Throughout the tragedy, Macbeth 's character takes a big, yet gradual change for the worst as ambition starts to completely take over him.

When we are first presented with the character of Macbeth he is pictured as a noble and loyal warrior. However, once his future is presented to him by the witches saying that he, Macbeth, is to become the next great King of Scotland, he begins to lose focus and makes the wrong decisions. Macbeth begins to only make choices that will benefit only himself and to gain power. Becoming almost unrecognizable to the person he once was. After confronting his wife, Lady Macbeth, he isn't the only one with a lust for power.

Macbeth’s abuse of power destroys his relationship with his cousin, Duncan. It is because that Macbeth desires Duncan’s throne. Macbeth defeats the enemy bravely for the country at the beginning. People praise his courage and devotion. Even the king of Scotland, Duncan, admires his contribution, and greets him the thane of Cawdor. However, Macbeth’s ambition is aroused by the witches’ prophecy, which is that he will be the future king. Macbeth is struggling and entangled with the advantage and disadvantage of killing Duncan. Macbeth appears hallucination under the temptation of power: “Mine eyes are made the fools o’th’ other senses, / Or else worth all the reset I see thee still, / And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, / Which was not before. There’s no such thing. / It is the bloody business which informs / Thus to my eyes” (2.2.45-50). Macbeth is not satisfied with the thane of Cawdor.
