Macbeth: Desperate for Kingship!

   The work of Macbeth, by Shakespeare demonstrates a great hunger for power and what a person is willing to do and how they are willing to get anyone possibly in their way out of the picture. Macbeth, being a man greatly driven by the desire to obtain more power then what is already at his hands is a man that with the encouragement of his wife is willing to kill anyone which needs to die in order for him to have the throne! The only way in order to gain the power of kingship as soon as possible would be by murdering the king and by murdering the one who he thinks at the moment could be his one only other competitor Banquo. After the deaths of many others including that of Lady Macbeth took place, Prince Malcolm put together an army to fight against Macbeth. Macbeth managed to kill many people in desperation for the throne, but this man's life was finally put to an end by MacDuff.
   After having just read any works of Shakespeare for the first time in my life, I am quickly discovering that there are many messages and much meaning within his works. At first they do not appear to be very clear being as there is much to take in, but in reality after further analyzing the readings I've quickly discovered that this work is a great demonstration as to how just one man can take down so many innocent people over nothing more then being desperate for kingship! Macbeth fought and died for this desire of his, but in reality it does not appear to me as if it was truly even worth it. This reading to me gives me the message that although it is important to desire and strive for what you want there are limits in life and it is important to understand that there are others greater and more powerful then you who will in fact bring you down from your high horse!
