Macbeth is an ambitious general who gives up his morals and his conscience in order to become the King of Scotland. He commits crimes and lies to others in order to get what he wants. In the end, he becomes a tyrant, losing all sense of feeling and doing anything he can to maintain his blood-stained power.
Provide an example of people today who exhibit similar behaviors and have similar ambitions as Macbeth (doesn't necessarily have to be murder).
In your response, you must
1) describe the person's or persons' situation(s)
2) intention behind person's or persons' actions
3) how his / her / their situation is like Macbeth's
4) critique these actions: Why do you think people are driven to such a state of mind? Do you think we've become a society of similar people (ambitious, power-hungry, competitive)?
