The story is an allegory of the entire revolutionary experience. Another theme that runs through Rip Van Winkle is laziness. Rip's laziness is eventually punished. His punishment was to remain asleep for 20 years.
I did that also XD, 12th grade is extremely exhausting
When Macbeth receives the prediction that he will become thane of Cawdor and then it actually happens, his character changes from a nobleman to a villain (with the help of LM). his ambition is what leads him to killing Duncan and so when he was predicted to be king, he was desperate to be king faster. in your answer, NEVER forget to talk about his strong ambition for power
