Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely."
I believe is never good to have to much power because it ain't good. With power comes responsibility and certain challenges and decision that will affect you or benefit you. Macbeth and lady Macbeth wanted power so in order to do that they had it to take certain people out of the way. Macbeth had it to kill the king Duncan in order for him to take the throne.Absolute power will corrupt the way you think,the way you act, and the way you feel about your self.
Macbeth is a result of having to much power. The power went over his hes head. He was so scared that Banquo would turn him in and he would lose all his power. That power was so powerful that he didn't even care about killing his best friend. That power changed him in such a huge way that i guess he didn't realize until it was to late. He didn't think about the consequences that would come with killing his friend. He was so guilt that he would see Banquos ghost while no one else did.
Lady Macbeth was another result of power corrupting everything. She didn't care at what cost her husband got to be king. She would act all extra nice to King Duncan. She finally had him where she wanted. She did not look back to think about it she went along with it like a cold blooded person. She had no mercy and she never looked back for anything she was so over taken by the power that she didn't think about anyone but her self.
when you are poor and you work your way to the top and become powerful you forget where you came from. you start to treat people that where just like you like savages. You don't see that you where once in their spot to. You feel no pity no mercy for those people you just don't care anymore because you are on the top and not on the low. You think of them as less than a dog. You don't dare to even give a dollar to any charity that needs it you rather waste it on something else. You really don't realize you have changed in such a great way.
we can see that both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth cheated to achieved power and could not control the power they have received. They didn't not care about the consequence that their acts would bring them afterwords. In real life people achieve poor and do not know what they are going to do with it. They really cant look clearly with all that power in their hands. Those three examples are examples of what happens when you have to much power and let it go over your head.
So when you write "you," who do you mean? Can you think of a specific person that did that?
