Why was macbeth a bad king explain?

English
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago
3 0

I think that this is a very hard question to answer. I think that many kings, fictional or not, possess both the bad and good traits of being a king.

In regards to Macbeth, he certainly possessed the ambition many would wish for a king. He was brave, as noted by Duncan and the title of the Thane of Cawdor. He was protective, as noted by his murder of Banquo. Macbeth was even proud, as seen by his desire to keep the new title of Thane before taking the crown.

Unfortunately, many of the characteristics one would align with being a good king made Macbeth a bad king as well. Macbeth was too ambitious--as seen by his murdering Duncan. He was too protective--as seen by his inability to interpret the apparitions warnings in the correct way. Lastly, he was too proud--as seen by his refusal to leave the castle as Birnam Wood "moved" against him.

Like anything, one must always have control. Too much of anything normally turns out to be a bad thing. Therefore, depending upon one's individual views, Macbeth could be both a bad king or a good one.

BTW: It's free real estate.

BRUTUS:
Elodia [21]

In the soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 in the tragedy of Julius Caesar explains Brutus' involvement in the assassination plot against Caesar as he thinks about the consequences if Caesar is crowned. He compares the crowning procedure of Caesar to that of the hatching of a serpent from the egg. He assumes that when Caesar would become the king of Rome he will show his cruel nature and bring destruction to the people of Rome. Hence, Brutus joins the conspiracy against Caesar in order to prevent Rome from the ambitious nature of Caesar in the coming future. While addressing the crowd after the murder of Caesar, Brutus says that he has killed Caesar because of his growing ambition which would be very harmful to the citizens of Rome. He adds that he would never accept that because of one person the whole of the Roman empire would be trapped in the web of slavery.
