Macbeth Statements

I agree with the statement, "Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature". In my own experience, I've seen even the sweetest people turn violent occasionally. One friend I had was great she always had my back, and was super nice to everyone. One day, she betrayed me and ditched me for some other friends. Also I'm pretty sure that no one has gone through life without telling a lie, even if they later confess. In Macbeth, this is also the case. King Duncan is portrayed as a nice king, but he also orders the execution of the Thane of Cawdor. Also Macbeth seems like a nice man, but he plans to kill the king and has killed many others in battle.  

I neither agree nor disagree with the statement, "Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person". Though ambition initially seems good it can also lead to great danger. Ambition is drive that makes people better. One with ambition works hard to improve and often ends up better in the end. Ambition also has a dark side that involves getting rid of anything that gets in the way of the grand prize. I've seen one that is so obsessed with being a professional of a sport that they drive their family and friends away in the process. In Macbeth, Macbeth has ambition to be a good noblemen, and works hard in battle. Once he finds out that he will be king, he develops ambition to acquire the crown. Macbeth plans to kill the King though the King has given him a very desirable title.
