Difference Between Macbeth And Scar

Instead of Macbeth being Thane of Glamis, he is a high-class chef of a well-renowned restaurant in the middle of London. The environment in Shakespeare Retold has changed from a Shakespearean era to the 21st century. Both Macbeth and Joe have high positions that will eventually lead to their downfall. Both the play and the film emphasize on the same values and they demonstrate how ambition and greed drive a human to their insanity and madness. For example, in Shakespeare Retold, Joe was introduced as a kind, jovial person who as a chef himself taught his fellow cooks how to properly make food. His desire to secure his throne, in this case, the main chef, made him disoriented and was breaking plates, and burning food, something he wouldn't do before. The loving aura changed and it was just filled with chaos, in which the environment was not a place where his workers wanted to be. The change of scenery from the kitchen to an ominous night was effective in such that viewers could see that it meant something bad was about to happened. Lastly, at the end of the film, the kitchen in a highly renowned restaurant was not as luminous as before. The lights were turned off by Joe, and this is where we could see that he was beginning to shut himself down.

Lady Macbeth is filled evil schemes, and knows how to achieve her goal of getting her husband into the kingly position. Lady Macbeth is very convincing in her ideas, and does not leave a lot of space to think otherwise. Macbeth is not left much choice but to conform himself to his wife’s mischievous strategy to get him to become king. He is very loyal, and wants to remain so to his king even knowing he would become king if Duncan, the present king, were to die. Lady Macbeth, however, has other plans for Macbeth, and she soon has him convinced to commit an act which will change their lives forever. Macbeth and his wife are truly opposite people, as Macbeth is laid back and easy going, while Lady Macbeth wants everything planned out and will go onward with plans no matter who they affect. She truly does make Macbeth a more interesting person through her evil schemes.

A successful monarchy relies upon a stable leader who is concerned with the satisfaction of those he rules over. Henry Bolingbroke the IV in Shakespeare's Henry the IV Part I follows a trend set by his predecessor in Richard II of self-indulgence and neglect of his kingdom. These leaders worry about the possibility of losing their kingdom or their soldiers to other nobles who were also concerned more with obtaining a higher position rather than governing. The king must also be wary of his own life, something that was once revered and guarded closely by other nobles. Wars once fought for gaining or protecting land are overshadowed by personal battles fighting for the position of king.

Many people know about William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” and know that it is a good play but not many people know that Shakespeare used Raphael Holinshed’s “Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland” as a source. In both stories there are many differences and similarities but the main one is the character Macbeth. Macbeth is a character in both stories but they both give him different and similar personalities, actions, and feelings.

There are many differences between these two version of MacBeth, and each of them, I believe, serves it's own purpose to enhance and better the

Macbeth is a play about a Scottish general (Macbeth) who receives a prophacy from three witches that states that one day, he wil become the king of Scotland. This makes Macbeth power hungry so he decides to murder the current king of Scotland, Duncan. As people grow more and more suspicious of who killed Duncan, Macbeth is forced to commit more murders in order to protect himself from being exposed. This leads to him becoming filled with paranoia and guilt, which ultimately is his major downfall. Shakespeare wrote this play in 1606 to make people realize that excessive ambition can have terrible consequences. Both the play and the movie incorporate murders into telling the story of Macbeth, but they do so in different ways.

Throughout history, woman have been designated limited roles due to their gender. In a traditional and outdated society, woman are usually restricted to the role of caretaker for their family. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the essential example of being a woman is Lady Macduff. She cares for her children and will do anything to protect them. Breaking this traditional role is Lady Macbeth who is depicted as unfit for the job of being a mother. She constantly challenges the role of gender through her actions and words. Lady Macduff and Lady Macbeth are designed to contrast each other in order to enhance certain qualities in their character. This relationship is called a foil and is frequently used by Shakespeare. Lady Macduff’s embodiment of a

From the beginning of his life as a warrior to the end as a king, he gains and develops glory, responsibility and courage, all vital to his reign as a successful king.

“Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own” (Honoré de Balzac 98). Honré de Balzac is a French author and playwright, his quote is from one of his well known novel, Pere Goriot, in which a wealthy merchant sacrifices everything for his daughters. In William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth and Jon Krakauer’s book Into the Wild, the main characters have not realized that there is more happiness in another’s happiness than their own and are very self oriented. In Shakespeare’s work, the protagonist Macbeth is bent on gaining power, so he kills King Duncan in hopes of becoming the new monarch, which results in many destroyed relationships. While Macbeth is king, guilt and paranoia eat at him, resulting in Macbeth murdering even more people. Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, features Chris McCandless, an unhappy college student, who leaves his home and family to hitchhike across the United States and ultimately ends up dead. On his epic adventure McCandless survives on only the necessities, creates and breaks many friendships and even though he doesn’t murder friends like Macbeth, he still deeply hurts them. Shakespeare and Krakauer’s characters exhibit the sacrifice needed to accomplish their goals through giving up one’s health for a greater cause and breaking relationships for one’s own gain.

Every king has their most brilliant moment, but finally, because some bad qualities cause them fall down. The famous Shakespeare Tragedy Macbeth and the well-known Disney cartoon Lion King have some similarities about the two main characters Macbeth and Scar, and I will demonstrate how they become the king and then fall down. Both Macbeth and Scar; their ambitions make them try to use anyways to get their goal, and lead the countries to become better which are the rise of kings. The fall of both kings is very miserable. Macbeth and Scar in order to maintain their position, utilize many evil means to defend themselves and finally fall down. Both playwright Macbeth and the film Lion King show the rise and fall of the two evil characters Macbeth and Scar. The reasons of their defeats can be found in their overconfidence, inability to make others trust them and excessive use of lies.

“ Human nature at times is unfortunately very ugly and I learned that the world can be a very

Although The Lion King and Macbeth seems like two different stories. One is set in the medieval era while the other is set in postmodernity, but both displays the similarities of the character’s strategic battle for power. Scar, known as the villain in the movie, The Lion King, committed selfish acts to fulfill his distorted desires. As Simba was at the edge of the cliff, about to be murdered by Scar, Scar snarled at him, “That [is] the way your father looked before I killed him” (The Lion King). Simba leaped up from the side of the cliff, and pushed Scar to the ground demanding him to confess to his crime of killing the king, his father, Mufasa. This quote proves that Scar’s ambition leads him to do ruthless acts, wanting to kill Simba, who was next in line of the throne. These malevolent plots are what fuels the battle of evil against the good. Scar stated to his three murders, the Hyenas, “We [are] going to kill him. And Simba, too” (The Lion King). In the movie, The Lion King, shows that Scar is resentful of the king, Mufasa, and the power he retains. In this quote, he plans a plot on who he wants to kill with the three hyenas to help him finish the deed, which shows his strong ambitions. Another

In Macbeth, Hamlet, and the Mark of the Beast characters become angry. Macbeth hires two murders to kill Banquo. Macbeth wants to kill Banquo, because he was afraid Banquo would get suspicious of the death of the king. The murders kill Banquo by cutting his throat and throwing him in a ditch (ShakeMac 3.3.16-29). In Hamlet, Claudius kills King Hamlet, and marries the queen. Hamlet is angry with Claudius and he tries to plan a way to kill Claudius. When Hamlet and the queen are in her room, Hamlet stabs Polonius, thinking he is the Claudius.
