While I have been in this class I was reading a book of romance and destruction. This story is the classic book
Macbeth. Macbeth was a great story to read and was a more depressing story that
lead to deception and corruption.
Macbeth starts with the warrior
Macbeth and his friend Macduff just came back from fighting a war. They
encounter some witches that tell them how to become kings. They tell them they
could become royalty of another kingdom if you killed their commanders. Macbeth
and Macduff knew they weren’t going to do this to another kingdom. Macbeth
later made the mistake of telling his wife Lady Macbeth about this. She then starts
to devise a plan for him to become a more powerful warrior and a king.
She convinces Macbeth to kill the
castles royalty to become king. She makes him murder a couple people in his
castle that they think was onto their devious plans. Lady Macbeth then kills a
couple of the officials living in the castle for him to become king as the
witches told. He killed the officials but their son got away and went fleeing
to his old friend Macduff’s castle. As he thinks Macduff will be onto his
treacherous ways he sends an army to kill the son and Macduff.
The Story tragically ends while Macbeth dies in
the battle and such a maniacal and evil plan could send the two married couple
into evil. Lady Macbeth killed herself thinking of all she regretfully did to
Macbeth and his castle. The story was sad and instructive of how greed and
manipulation could send the best of people against each other, I think this was
the authors intent to show this between the characters
