Macbeth Defy My Conscience Analysis

Most of my decisions become regrets when I defy my conscience. When I traveled to Peru, I broke my principles to eat pizza past curfew. I realized after, the dangerous effects of ignoring what I knew was wrong, reminding me of Macbeth. "I am in blood stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er.”, he bemoans (3.4.168-170). Macbeth, a loyal general to his King Duncan, gains knowledge of his fate and disobeys his morality. He takes it upon himself to fulfill the prophecy by murdering the king, but suffers a terrible, yet self-imposed aftermath due to his crimes. Like Macbeth, I rationalized my motives against my conscience and I faced the consequences of acting against it to attain my desired dream.
I knew the dangers, but I was also starved. My dinners only consisted of potatoes, from french fries to cubed potatoes and baked potatoes, for three weeks. If I leave my hostel, not only would I be risking my safety, but I would also be breaking an important rule. Inside, I knew how inapt it would be to be outside walking at night without supervision and the threat to my reputation if I were to be caught. Macbeth covets becoming King as much as I desired pizza but, he understands the gravity of murder and rejects the thought. He knows the immorality of treason and defends his judgment by recognizing the honorable reputation he gained under Duncan, averting a threat to his prominence with the possible repercussions. Macbeth tried to dismiss the foolish idea, but like me, he justifies his intentions to expel his principles. When I questioned myself for the countless ways my plan could go awry, I validated my wish for pizza based on a false expectation of success. I made hundreds of reasons in my mind, but probably my stomach. They all seemed to overweigh my sense of right and wrong in the moment. The restaurant is only a few minutes away, everyone is sleeping, and you have a flashlight that you have not used yet are just some of the
My neighbor saw me and asked me why I was out at such a late hour and all I could reply was a transparent lie that I needed to get laundry. The laundromat was further from the restaurant so I would have to take another street that was visible to my neighbor and it would also mean I would have to return with a bag if I were to see my him again. My lie forced me to circle around the block. When I finally arrived at the pizza restaurant, everything seems contained as my plan was devised, except all my counsellors were eating pizza at a table facing the door. At that instant, I knew I was doomed and regretted going against my ethics. I quickly left the restaurant and considered my options. I could walk home with no pizza or admit to my mistakes. I sat outside for several minutes and concluded that I should just concede my intent of buying pizza to my counselors. My whole pizza trip is already in shambles and I would rather destroy my feeling of guilt if I cannot have food. I walked inside and admitted to my pizza craving and expressed regret for my actions. Macbeth faces a similar situation and reacts as I accepted my consequences. He commits a series of murders to protect his innocence from the original crime, but it only deepens his guilt. He treads into “blood” river with so much wasted energy that it would be more damaging to return. He is conscience-stricken from
