Macbeth essay

The theme for Macbeth was that power can make the any body become power crazy people, that would kill anyone to keep the power for him/her self.

 Macbeth he starts off as a person that trusted everyone and listened to what everyone tells him. Macbeth was a loyal person to his king, but the prophecy of what the witches has told Macbeth was that he was to rule someday. When he found out that he was destined to rule the kingdom he told his wife she was like, "Are you afraid to match your acts with your ambitions? Can you want that glittering prize-the crown-yet be a self-confessed coward?" -Lady Macbeth (1,7,40-44). Lady Macbeth was able to manipulate Macbeth when he was make his decisions and allowed Macbeth to push himself to kill the king to get the kingdom. "All my faculties shall be devoted to this terrible deed."-Macbeth. When Macbeth says terrible deed he knows that lady Macbeth has persuade him to do something wrong. 

Macbeth started to go a little crazy when people started suspecting him to murder the king, he became so crazy that he can no longer trust anyone not even his own wife. "To be thus- a king- is nothing. I must be safely thus. I fear Banquo deeply..." (3,1, 47-48). Macbeth is afraid of Banquo because Banquo has evidence that could accuse Macbeth for treason. Macbeth says this quote because he feels he must do something with Banquo because he knows too much. ". Another reason he is a little crazy of Banquo is because he also got a prophecy that his sons would become king. Macbeth would want Banquo and his family to be out of the picture so he can have all the power. The decisions he made eventually changing him into a person that was hungry for power, just like his wife like lady Macbeth.

Macbeth towards the end became more of his wife, being a power-crazed woman that wanted the throne and would do any thing to get it. But you wouldn’t even think that he would become someone like that, a loyal to his king and his country.
