Review of the Play The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare

The Tragedy of Macbeth

The play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare is among one of the few plays that everyone could enjoy watching due to its fascinating act which is flawless and the connected flaw of events in the play. I always enjoy watching the play especially the violence in the pay is fascinating for example fighting scenes during acting looked real and executed accurately by actors.  

The play was written during era of corruption in Scotland. The play presents a story about a great warrior who turned wicked. This occurs after the warrior was put under spell by witches and getting influenced by his wife and the urge to become king was also high as well. After watching the play, I got areal glimpse of the play and was able to get a life lesson that abuse of power has always to emergence of corruption. Kind Duncan trusted Macbeth, and this trust at last lead to King’s death as he was murdered by Macbeth when a sleep, defenseless and no one to guard where Macbeth posed as guest before he did the evil act. 

After Macbeth getting away with King Duncan’s death, he felt he had the power to make God and this drove him to feel that he can destroy lives with lesser status.  Once he paid a visit to the witches for a second time, he became more stubborn as he was reassured that no one can stop him. The most touching and saddest part in the story is when Macbeth is not saddened by the death of his own wife Lady Macbeth.  The story depicts moral lesson that “Greed is the root of all evil”.  Having all the luxuries that King had is the main reason Macbeth wanted to be a King.          

In conclusion, power is an enticing thing to have and it needs strong minds to maintain since often time people always think about themselves after they get power as its human nature.  The fall of Macbeth’s empire was due to his focus on enriching himself alone instead of including others. According to me, the play presents an important life lesson everyone should learn from because you end up getting power and you will need to maintain order and ensure there is equal distribution of power.
