MacBeth - Honors English - My Thoughts

the play Macbeth, written by Shakespeare to me really shows how irronic life is and in a less suttle ways shows the consequences of jealousy, it in a sence reminded me of the bible story in which King David killed a womans husband becuase he lusted after her after seeing her in a tub bathing had sexual realtions and got her pregnant to cover up he killed her husband. jealusy its self leads to so much negitivity when it is allowed to control a person. looking back at Macbeth the craving for power and jealousy of those who had it lead Macbeth and Lady Macbeth on a killing spree that's after-affect lead to the death of both. in modern times jealousy of power is shown in jealousy of populatirty you watch teenagers be cruel to others to put them in the 'in crowd' each day we live we see macbeths actions in a current form.
