Why Is Macbeth Not Afraid Of Greatness

Shakespeare once said, “Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Shakespeare has been through a lot that he was able to achieve his main goal in life which inflicted him to believe if he was able to do it then others can as well. He believes some were born with a talent, others work hard for their achievements, and lastly some has somebody who helps them thrive for their greatness because they believed in him or her.

Later on he begins to deceive others and makes unworthy choices like eliminating many out of his way to be a successful King. This is ironic because in order for one to be king, he must gain the love and trust of the people and must work hard to strive of becoming a good king. This is relatable to our world since in the current pass we had many dictators that have torched and slaughtered many innocent people. For which Shakespeare uses our current past mistakes of trying to teach remind us of not repeating it twice. Along the knowledge of people begin to desire for power will lead them into a person full of
