Macbeth final draft

            The future we long for isn’t going to happen by itself.  It is reached by the way we obtain it. It doesn’t matter how you reached there as long as you got there. This may be a motto to some, to those who enjoy the feeling of being on top of everyone else. Just like Macbeth by Shakespeare, once a man who was loyal and kind became mind who just became selfless to benefit his own life. To not care for anything else but the power he has set upon.

            How it’s reach people may not seem if it is a good intention or in a bad way. Reaching the goal until it is reached, it matters how because it reaches the definition of what it was meant to be for. “You want high office by righteous means” (3.1.2)In the beginning of the book, he never really cares about power. He simply was following what he needed to do and fulfill his duty. “(4.3.1)If fate says ill be king, well, fate may crown me without my help” Whatever the goal may be, he was being toyed with from the start. The witches and even his own wife have influenced him in his decision making without him. Killing Duncan was the choice that determined which path he would take.

            Macbeth isn’t a true king but a man with just a title. “That every moment he’s alive, stabs me to the heart”(3.1.5) His way of doing things after the goal of the Macbeth couple wanted became worse as his dream as king was going to die. People with greed wont mean anything if they reach their goals. Those who are aware wont make any further mistakes. “I’ve nothing to our spur me on but high-leaping ambition, which can often bring about one downfall’s.”  (3.1.2)Now, he lost his humanity. Macbeth is blinded by his position. He would do anything to stay as a king and get rid of those in his ways.  Not knowing what is ahead of him, the path chosen is going to have a rough road ahead.

            Not like Macbeth, without cheating his way there, he got messed up because of how he chose to become a king.  “Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives. Do faithful homage and receive free honors.”(4.3.3) The good is noticed by their way of living and how they do things. Macbeth lost all his feelings; he only loves what’s on this earth. ”He’s worth sorrow and I’ll give it to him”. (5.7.7) In the end, death came upon him. People never see him as a king but as a traitor to his people. Even though he was king, it mattered how he got to his goal because meaning of it just changed.

            It doesn’t matter how you reached there as long as you got there. You can get find a shortcut or either be patient to reaching a goal. In an inhumane way, it just takes the true meaning of what the goal defines. The importance of it will just disappear. But if one kind does it, then he is worthy of what he has become. Macbeth lost all this as the evil influenced his mind.
