As Buddha once said, “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” (Rosberg, Johanna. "Holding Onto Anger Is Like Drinking Poison and Expecting the Other Person to Die - Buddha.") This quote explains that there is no punishment for anger, what you decide to do with your anger, now that is up to you. Anger can cause unpredictable behavior if it is taken into its own hands improperly. Poe and Blake use point of view and actions to convey that holding in anger and revenge can drive one to do uncharacteristic actions unlike their behavior.

Anger is not a good, thing, and should be kept under control, for causes people to act rashly and clouds their judgment. An example is when Cole tries to explains why he beat Peter Driscal up, he explains that it was the anger that caused him to act out and behave irrationally(Mikalsen 234) This means that Cole did not mean or want to hurt Peter, but his anger clouded his judgement and convinced him to beat up and bash Peter on the sidewalk. This shows that anger causes people to do things they normally wouldn’t even think of doing. Therefore, anger should be held back and taken out somewhere else, otherwise it could hurt people.

In addition, dealing with emotions allows people to feel the emotions as they arise within each person. When a person feels angry, they should allow themselves to feel that anger, and vent it out in some form or the other, without causing any harm to others.

This is the air-drawn dagger which you said Led you to Duncan. O, these flaws and starts,

I believe that anger can be used as a force for positive change but it also sometimes cannot be so positive. First, I think anger can be used for a positive change because if you are angry about something you have anger towards something you want to change and you have a good reason to be mad. For example, if you are fighting for women’s rights (which Nellie is) you have to be mad about what is going on, you cannot just say “women’s right are not fair”. You have to be mad, and use it for a positive change by saying something like “women’s right are not fair at all, and I, being a woman myself, it is very very frustrating what is going on”. Also, using anger for a positive change can sometimes turn bad, to explain further, if you believe in

It seems that people has been chasing for good mood in the last 2 decades, but there are several people trying to find positive influences for feeling bad underneath. In the Psychology Today article “Beyond Happiness: The Upside of Feeling Down” (2015), Hutson focuses his attention on the how human beings benefit themselves from negative emotions. Hutson has some strong point that there are many positive effects from negative emotions, which are expressing anger is good in negotiation, guilt can motivate individuals to fix the mistake, and envy is one of the motivation to drive people to success.

Keltner has proven that emotions have both a positive and negative impact when associated with anger or sadness. According to Keltner and Lerner, “Anger scores high on the dimensions of certainty, control, and others’ responsibilities, and low on pleasantness. These characteristics suggest that angry people will view negative events as predictably caused by, and under the control of other individuals. ”(2000) This states that one's emotion of anger causes a person to think that they are higher than everyone else.

Anger runs through people’s veins, it is a tricky thing to avoid. During Macbeth, some characters let anger get the best of them. For example, by the end of the play lady Macbeth kills herself from anger and not being to be able to get what she wants. She knows that she hates Duncan and wants to attack him, but she knows that she can’t do it right so she asks Macbeth if he can do it because she knows that Macbeth can do it but Macbeth says no and she grows angry at him and

Bowman-Edmonson and Cohen-Conger, (1996) included within their review the theories and models of anger to assess the different treatment approaches for different clients. Again, this study also has methodical limitations due to few studies being reviewed and the low number of subjects in the studies making it difficult to detect which treatment works best between groups. In view of the limitations of methodology in the first two met-analysis reviews, the third meta-analysis conducted by Beck and Fernandez (1998) expanded their inclusion criteria totally to 50 studies. As much as the review found anger control improved for the subjects, the limitations to the review consisted of treatments containing cognitive and behavioural components without
