    Power tends to corrupt‚ and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord Acton’s 19th century words of wisdom were never more true than in the pages of Shakespeare’s Macbeth tragedy. The corruption of power is one of the major and overarching themes of this play‚ Shakespeare uses charter dialogue and actions to flawlessly portray the corrupting grip that power wields.

Macbeth does not believe in the ties of loyalty and brotherhood which causes his soldiers and subject not to put faith in his master. When MacDuff’s and Malcom’s armies came to attack his castle‚ Macbeth’s soldiers refuse to stay loyal to him as they cannot feel attached to him. The soldiers who once
