Macbeth-Reflection

This play is upsetting because you just cannot help but feel sorry for Macbeth. He was a man that just wanted to achieve greatness and become an admired and respected figure, but with the presence of negativity and ill-intentions he was steered in a completely wrong direction to lead him to that path.

Macbeth crossed the Rubicon and was way passed the point of no return and it is just unfortunate that a man with so much promise had to succumb to such pressures and misleading. With the right people Macbeth could have attained so much and became the man he had always imagined himself being.

Macbeth just demonstrated that no one is immune to making mistakes, regardless of the status they may have. Temptation and greed are silent killers and do not care what social group a person may fall into, but will strike no matter the circumstances.

Macbeth had no idea that his future would be so dire, even with the warnings from the three witches, which parallels people that disregard signs that forewarn them of the people that they have the possibility of becoming. In life, "battles are lost and won" and "fair is foul" but if you are unwilling to recognize the bad and evil that exists you could fall victim to such disasters.

It is important to be aware of those around you and claim to have your best interests and mind. This just shows that everything has a price and challenges how far you are willing to go to achieve your goals. What is important is to keep your integrity and sanity and to not fall to the pressures of life. There is always a snake waiting in the grass ready to bite an unsuspecting victim, however, through experience and time hopefully that snake will never get that opportunity to take that advantage.
