The plays and poems of Shakespeare has a power over audiences, to make them feel the emotions that are embedded within the works themselves. In “Macbeth” we feel the pain and suffering of Macbeth as he is overcome with his greed and his own brand of paranoia, which leads him to destroying everything in the world that he finds dear.
