The rise of a bully
In the play Macbeth there was a abuse of power which relates to cycles of bullying. In Macbeth there was a imbalance of power. The Macbeth’s had a intend to harm and threaten further harm. The Macbeth’s also had harmful language. Macduff and Malcolm were the defenders of the victims.
There was a imbalance of power between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. The Macbeth’s were fighting over who would kill King Duncan. In act 1 scene 7 Lady Macbeth says “And live a coward in thine own esteem.” There was also imbalance of power when Macbeth became king.

Bullies use harmful languages to peer you into doing stuff you don't want to do. Lady Macbeth said that to him to get him to kill King Duncan.
Macduff and Malcolm were the defenders of the victims. In act 5 scene 4 Macduff says “Let our just censures attend the true event, and put we on industrious soldiership.” This means that he wants to fight for what's right. This helps when you stand bullies because it gives them let's power. If Macbeth stood up to his wife then all of probably would have never happen.
This story shows that bullies might get what they want in the beginning but in the end don't get what they want. Macbeth was king and powerful for a short time. Until the defender, Macduff, stood up for what was right and killed him. Bullies in real life don’t always have a happy ending. This is why bullying should be stopped before it goes too
