Macbeth Analysis

Thesis - Macbeth by William Shakespeare is a good example on how you should choose a good path when you have great power so you don't have to worry about the bad actions that can come back to you as karma


In life everyone should have there own self power, but for some people theres time where they want to take away other peoples power. By having great power over all people. Having great power over people can be good sometimes but can also be bad. The word power can affect the way people treat you. When you hold power to your advantage and take the wrong path, wrong and harsh things can come right back to you because of karma. "Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill: So, prithee, go with me" (3.2.50-55) 

Macbeth was a well respected man and everyone treated him with a high honor respect more than anyone could ever get. "Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth, i care not if thou dost for me as much. I pull in resolution, and begin to doubt h'equivocation  of the fiend that lies like truth : fear not till birnam wood. (5.5.40-43). This tells us that Macbeth is treated with high respect than other people. Now near enough your leavy screens throw down and like those you are. You, worthy uncle, Shall with my cousin your noble son lead our first battle. Macbeth had all the respect that Macbeth sees witches and visions Banquo's  analyzers and is not satisfied. Macbeth comes across many obstacles that he had to break through but he chose to stick with it and build more barriers to make it harder where peace will never come your way. "be innocent of the knoledge, dearest chuck, till thou applaud the deed. Come, seeling night, scarf up the tender eye of pitiful day, And with thy bloody and invisible hand, cancel and tear to pieces that great bond. (3.2. 45-50) This quote briefly explains how everything will swell up during the ending of the book because he tells us a different side of the perspective that he wanted to have no peace and he knew that one day he will be sending out messengers and murders to kill whoever he isn't pleased with.


"we have scotched the snake, not killed it: Shell close and be herself, whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth. But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds suffer, ere awe will eat our meal in fear." This tells us that Macbeth doesn't rely on his thoughts but he only relies on who he is gonna fear. He tells us that not many people will live under disobeying his rules. Karma in this book really comes to part because when he treats other people he gets treated the same way as how he treated other people. Macbeth isn't a true person who can make his own decisions and his mentality can change the way he acts.


Macbeth comes to a point where he ends up getting killed and how he treated other people with disrespect he gets karma and is treated with evil. Macbeth talked to evil people and maybe even turned people into evil people. In life we cant just go by what we are entitled to, we need to show why we are entitled to be a king. Anyone could say they have great power but if you can't even respect your own personal rules not many people will like you, and your power just turns into ashes. We have to take what we have in to our humble hearts and not show who we are titled to but show how we should be treated the right way and not the way where karma will get to us.
