Greed In Shakespeare's Macbeth

Macbeth is a story told by Shakespeare in the form of a play. It is about a man's thirst for power through greed. Shakespeare is telling the audience that you reap what you sow. This means the you get what you deserve. Every action someone does gives a negative or positive consequence. When Macbeth is talking to the witches, they shout out, "All hail, Macbeth, thane of Glamis! ... thane of Cawdor! ... shall be king hereafter!" (I.3.49-51). They're telling him that he'll become thane of Cawdor, then become king right after. Macbeth is a very talented soldier who has earned the promotion. Once he becomes thane of Cawdor, his greed tells him to become king right away. Macbeth is an awful king, and an even worse friend. He kills his best friend
and kills another friend's family. After giving Macduff the news of his families death, Malcolm says, "Lets make us med'cines of our great revenge, to cure this deadly grief," (IV.3.220-221). Malcolm shares this anger to Macbeth, and urges Macduff to fight against him with Malcolm's army. Macbeth deserves this because of how he has treated others. The statement, "you reap what you sow," relates to real life as well as Macbeth. If someone crossed someone else, they deserve what is going to happen them in the future. Every action done has another action to follow. Whether or not it is good or bad is the choice of the author.
