Power Corrupts- Macbeth

Shakespeare composed a stunning tale filled with felony, havoc, and bloodshed. From the view of third person you are able to understand all characters occasions and reasoning, whether they be good or bad. Many times in this play reachs face to be one thing, tho in reality are quite the opposite. The tale of Macbeth shows how power corrupts through with(predicate) greed, assstabbing, and secrecy. To a leader or best friend, Macbeth appears to be a loyal follower or companion, tho after just a glimpse at power Macbeth turns on everyone without their knowledge, showing just how evil power can be.The prophecies set off a chain reaction. The Werd Sisters chant to Macbeth, showering him with what he wants to hear, feeding his greed. They make a seed in his head, if he can be the Thane of Cawdor and Glamis, why cant he be the king? The Werd Sisters started a fire of corruption in Macbeths mind and left his victims to necessitate with it.After the prophecies, Macbeth acts upon his greed to become king. The lure of power sets off a evil thought process unobserved to the human eye, only visible to the reader. He chooses the evil way of getting things through with(p), which causes a corrosive psychological stream of thoughts in both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Instead of letting fate take its course, Macbeth turns his back on the person who trusts him most, Kingunan.Macbeth invites the king over for a dinner and kills him while he is asleep. I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a noise? (Shakespeare 55) A similar, sad fate is given to Banquo, Macbeths best friend and right hand man. Despite fighting together, side by side, Macbeth soundless becomes wary. His school principal has already become corrupted from a thirst for power which causes Macbeth to trust no one. Without anyone knowing, Macbeth turns against his best friend. He hires a band of savage killers to take out his best friend and his sonKnow Banquo was your adversary So is he mine, and in su ch bloody distance That every minute of his being thrusts Against my aboutst of life. And though I could With barefaced power sweep him from my sight And bid my will avouch it, except I must not, For certain friends that are both his and mine, Whose loves I may not drop, but requiem his fall Who I myself struck down. And thence it is That I to your assistance do make love, Masking the concern from the common eye For sundry weighty reasons. (Shakespeare 89)Yet again an innocent man is murdered out of the blue, backstabbed by his fellow companion. Banquo, the trusting man he was, never stood a chance against the secretive strength of corruptive power.The corrosive thought process even went as far as to cause Macbeth to kill children. The unforgiveable action of murdering wasnt even given a second glance from the power hungry monster Macbeth had become. His towns quite a little, the people that stood behind him loyally, murdered without the blink of an eye. Although, his actions we re not purely driven by greed, they were sufficiently cowardly actions, as well. Unable to face such a gruesome fate, he hires others to do his dirty work for him. The castling of Macduff I will surprise, seize upon fife, give to th edge o th sword. (Shakespeare 131) Macbeth even turns his back on his spouse. Lady Macbeth goes crazy with all the grief and guilt of murder, and Macbeth couldnt be bothered.To an outsider, it appeared that Lady Macbeth was fine, but in reality she went insane. Macbeth knew this, but he couldnt stop to help the corrosive power rage he was in had gone too far and he couldnt pull away. It didnt consider that Lady Macbeth killed herself, Macbeth appeared as if he couldnt be bothered. He went on with his plans of destruction, only to find a gruesome fate for himself. It took just a glimmer of power for Macbeth to turn on the people who trust him the most. The power he thought he could receive corrupted his mind and caused him to go astray. With a motive t o kill, Macbeth snuck behind the backs of his loved ones, and one by one took them all down. To the people he backstabbed, it appeared he was still on their side, but in reality he had turned on almost everyone without their knowledge.
