Tragedy
1. How ambition is the root of evil, just as a serpent hiding in the sweetest flowers.
ambition isn't necessarily the root of problems, its the desire and choices made after that cause the problems. People with ambition can do good and bad, but the choices will depict which one they are such as Macbeth made the choices to kill which led to his down fall.
2. How could Macbeth be compared to other dictators throughout history?
A major connection between Macbeth and other high level dictators is that they used corruption and murder to reach the top. every time someone stood in there way they would have them removed or somehow arrested in ways to gain the power. once they reached the top they would eliminate all those who threatened their position.
3. Why is dictatorship often rebelled upon so quickly?
the reason many dictator's are taken down so quickly is they usually rise to power so quickly that people will come together and over power this small group. If you review multiple cases in history, you can see multiple nations gathering together to eliminate a rising power to stop it from becoming a global power. The world needs equilibrium, no country can get to strong before others notice and begin to unite to bring them back down.
