The Temptation Of Evil In Macbeth By William Shakespeare

Within every person’s consciousness there is a will to do good or bad. In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the temptation of evil is tricked into being seen as something worth fighting for. It is with their thirst for power that tricks their minds into doing evil things to achieve and maintain the throne. Firstly arrogance blinds the Macbeth’s into needing this royal title. Then, the use of violence was to ensure their goals were achieved. Finally the use of deceit tricks them into claiming what they should have not, causing not only Scotland’s downfall, but their own as well. So, even those with the strongest mentality can be broken.
