Sheakspeare’s "Macbeth‚" Lady Macbeth has proven that her imagination is stronger than her will. During the beginning of the play‚ Lady M had been the iron fist and authority icon for Macbeth.

However‚ Macbeth soon

A question as such leaves us to one of the most important and controversial topics in the philosophy of religion‚ the problem of evil (Davies‚ 2013‚ p. 208).

On the Origin of Evil Where does evil come from? This is a question that I find most interesting. In our modern day civilization educated by liberal institutions everybody speaks as if they are certain of what evil is. So what is it?

Where does the desire for procreation‚ for sexual reproduction come from? Is a lion evil? I am sure it could be viewed

MACBETH AS A TRAGIC HERO Tragic heroes are within everyone‚ but cannot be fully exposed or understood without the essential tragic qualities. One must be a potentially noble character who endures heroic qualities and has respect and admiration from the society. Consequently‚ they must be essentially great. Also within the character must be a flaw or weakness that leads to a fall. Lastly‚ one is required to possess an element of suffering and redemption. Remorse and regret is a necessity for ones

the problem of evil. The Problem of Evil is both a philosophical and spiritual threat. It implies that the creator of the world is imperfect and unsound. What is the Problem of Evil? Evil is problematic because there is evil in the world. The problem is there is not equilibrium between good and evil in the world. Simply‚ how can there be a God that is all good and all-knowing and all powerful at the same time that evil exists? How can there be a caring and compassionate God when evil exists in the

belonging to idealistic and instrumental evil according to my research. Idealistic evil is the saddest evil in my opinion. Idealistic evil is the one who want to make things getting better; however‚ things never follow what he wishes.

Like the Roy F. Baumeister written in the “Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty”‚

In the play Macbeth it is easy to see how someone can manipulate and influence other people’s behavior with their own actions. Lady Macbeth influences Macbeth by showing power and confidence. Lady Macbeth plays a major role in influencing her husband to take the path that he does to become King of Scotland. She effectively unleashes Macbeth’s true evil side. Throughout the play we can see that she has a strong influence on him and is a primary cause for increasing Macbeth’s passion to gain the crown

universe‚ why then does evil exist? The prosaic response of "without evil‚ there is no good" no longer holds any validity in this argument as the admitted goal of good is to reach an existence without evil. So even if a God does exist‚ I think it is fair‚ at this point‚ to say that he is the embodiment of both good and evil. And if humoring those who would answer the previous question with the response that there can be no good without evil‚ then can we assume that evil is simply a subsection of
