Macbeth Rough Draft

The good will is rewarded while the bad will be punished, and that is what the play Macbeth is about; a man named Macbeth, he was “destined” to be king but that superior title led him to fear to lose it to the point where Macbeth inflicted inhumane acts towards anyone who came between his crown and himself. Macbeth by William Shakespeare is about karma because any destiny or prophecy predetermined for you does not matter, if you do a good deed, good things will come in your way and vice versa for doing something bad. 

Power should be handled with caution because too much of it will result into destruction, and that was what Macbeth had not known. “To be king is nothing, unless one is safely king. / My fears about Banquo is deep-rooted. / There is something kingly in his nature / which is threatening to me.” Once Macbeth grasped the power everyone can only hope for, he was genuinely terrified to lose it. He was not designated to be king, but he and Lady Macbeth found a loophole into the thrown. It was wrong for him to kill for power, and he didn’t realize that until it was too late.

Lady Macbeth was the fuel to the fire. “We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail.” In the beginning, it was not presented that Lady Macbeth was not well but later in the end; we find out that she suffers from some sort of mental illness. There were scenes where it foreshadowed she was not well, and one of them is where she encouraged to kill an innocent human being for power.  Lady Macbeth is not completely heartless since she felt remorseful for the death she was responsible off. But, unfortunately she was too weak to fight off her demons and ended up killing herself.

Malcolm was proof that not all the characters in “Macbeth” were evil. He was the sole heir to the thrown but the death of his father had driven away from fear, but he was the hero that every one needed.  He conquered his fear of Macbeth to save his kingdom. Macbeth has found a way to be king by doing a sinful act but karma works in both ways, Malcolm is the light in the darkness Macbeth created. Although he slayed Macbeth, it was for the better.

In conclusion, Macbeth took advantage of his power and took away lives

for selfish reasons which lead him into his death because all he did while king was murder anyone who stands in his way to retaining the crown; but Malcolm doing good deeds was rewarded to be the heir to the thrown. Macbeth by William Shakespeare is about life handing what you deserve.
