Tyranny of Macbeth

‘The only character responsible for the tyranny of Macbeth is the man himself. Discuss”

In the world of today many if not all people desire better lives, the desire to be better off. Traditionally some people will do almost anything to get what they want for themselves to feel happy or succeeded. In the play, Macbeth, by“William Shakespeare, MacBeth ends up in a state in which he journeys down towards tragedy. During the play MacBeth finds himself battling to keep control of his life and to maintain his dream. Murdering for him at the start was really hard but now he has no remorse. Power goes takes over him and makes him lose his loyalty and trustworthy and turns him into an evil creature. Macbethwas at first a noble loyal friend to the king Duncan but turned into a killer as he experiences more murders. Life gave many decisions at MacBeth, he decided to kill so he has the power and status that he wants,this is what was the reason of his tyranny

MacBeth was a tyrant, a blood thirsty murderer, who wastotally out of control.Greed took a hold of MacBeth and made him ignorant. Becoming the Thane of Cawdor, having a loving wife, and a wonderful castle made MacBeth’s life great. His life was going steady but his greed over took him and took him towards a downhill. The want of too much power led to killing the king which was a very hard task that lead MacBeth to start a domino effect which led him into killing and murdering more people to stay in power

MacBeth became a thoughtless bloodthirsty murderer, as it was all the only thing he could think of that would keep him in power. He had to continue to murder person after person to prevent and suspicion or blame coming on to him. The murder of Duncan, was no doubt the hardest, because it forced MacBeth to betray loyalty to his king, who had done nothing but good for him in the past. Figuring that one murder would be simple enough MacBeth was able to perform the task with the thought of power being more important then what would he had to lose, but what Macbeth didn’t suspect was that he then had to murder the kings men so he could stay in power.

As the play progresses along MacBeth’s people started to turn against him and fear him, knowing something wasn’t quite right. Most of his country men were afraid to say anything, because they knew they would be slayed and they knew Macbeth was a tyrant.. Losing control of himself. MacBeth could not stop murdering he murdered some of his best men and was completely out of control. Killing off his friend, Banqou truly showed he was out of control and would kill anyone that gave weakness or threaten his power even his best friends.

During the play MacBeth shows numerous qualities of a out of control, blood thirsty monster. MacBeth’s death resulted in many people feeling safe again and felt safe in the kingdom. Promising to do better and to protect and bring peace to the land Malcolm took over his rightful throne. MacBeth’s thirst for blood grew and seemed like every person who had threatened his power would have been killed. Having greed blind him when he should have been happy with his life and prestige

Every action that Macbeth had committed was avoidable but due to his greed he was too blind to see it. Slaying his own friends and countrymen without second thought proved MacBeth was an out of control blood thirsty murderer, who would’ve likely killed off his whole country if he wasn’t laid to rest.
