    What Macbeth has taught me? After reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth I have learnt quite a lot of things. It has taught me how greed is bad. As Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were greedy they lost their lives. Due to her greed‚ Lady Macbeth had nightmares and she started sleepwalking.

                                                                Selfish vs. Selfless ​ I think people are more selfish than selfless because of the way our society has changed effectively‚ in terms of behavior.

Selfishness is not a bad thing however‚ and because of his selfishness he was able to achieve

    Reading Task Part 2 Macbeth 1. Is Macbeth basically a good man led astray? In the play‚ Macbeth is portrayed as evil. I wouldn’t call Macbeth ’evil’. I would call him disillusioned.

He let his vaulting ambition get the better of his morals‚ his values and defeat his clear sense of
