Greed In Shakespeare's Macbeth
Macbeth is a story told by Shakespeare in the form of a play. It is about a man's thirst for power through greed. Shakespeare is telling the audience that you reap what you sow. This means the you get what you deserve. Every action someone does gives a negative or positive consequence. When Macbeth is talking to the witches, they shout out, "All hail, Macbeth, thane of Glamis! ... thane of Cawdor! ... shall be king hereafter!" (I.3.49-51). They're telling him that he'll become thane of Cawdor, then become king right after. Macbeth is a very talented soldier who has earned the promotion. Once he becomes thane of Cawdor, his greed tells him to become king right away. Macbeth is an awful king, and an even worse friend. He kills his best friend
