Similarities Between Macbeth And Fidel Castro

Macbeth was honored and looked highly upon by the soldiers he commanded. He was a brave fighter and trusted by everyone around him. When a soldier is telling the events of the battle he says to King Duncan “For brave Macbeth- well he deserves that name” (4). This showed how much his subordinates trust him on and off the battle field. After the battle Macbeth was promoted to Thane of Cawdor, on top of his current position, Thane of Glamis. King Duncan honored Macbeth for his courage on the battlefield. At this point in the play, Macbeth had no intentions on hurting or turning on his king.

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.

Act 1, Scene 2 presents Macbeth for the first time a strong and courageous warrior who serves his king to his best ability. The captain says that Macbeth ¨unseamed him from the nave to th’ chops¨ (1.2.24). This quotation describes Macbeth’s tremendous strength, and that he would do anything to keep his kingdom and king from harm. In my collage, I have included a picture of Macbeth during one of his battles. It shows a clear feat of strength and vividly shows the carnage that he has left from the Norwegian invasion. In another passage, the captain describes Macbeth was “Like valor’s minion”(1.2.21). This quotation show you Macbeth’s loyalty and that everything he does is honorable. In my picture, the king is acknowledging Macbeth’s actions that

If there is one word worthy of Macbeth, it is ‘courage’. He was a shining light on the

Macbeth is of a brave and capable warrior initially the first time that we see him. However, once we see Macbeth and the three witches together, we begin to realize that his physical courage is joined by a consuming mind boggling ambition and a tendency to self-doubt. The crusade’s mission is to place the rightful king, Malcolm, on the throne, but Macduff also desires vengeance for Macbeth’s murder of Macduff’s wife and young son. Macbeth is easily tempted into murder to fulfill his ambitions to the throne. Once he commits his first crime and is crowned King of Scotland. When Macduff finds out that Macbeth killed Duncan he plans to kill Macbeth and take his head to Malcolm. Banquo helped Duncan to claim victory over Norway and to become the Thane of Cawdor. They all are loyal to Duncan at some point, although Macduff and Banquo are doing the right things for Duncan, Macbeth is thinking of himself and is doing things so he will be the new King of Scotland. Macbeth is the play’s villain because he is betraying Duncan and trying to hide everything so he will be king.

     Macbeth is shown as a vigorous war hero in the opening scene. “And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling showed like a rebel’s whore. But all’s too weak for brave Macbeth.” (1.2 16.18) The captain expressing the braveness of great Macbeth in Scotland’s battle with the invading Norway hordes. It didn’t take long for the people of

Learning about both Stalin and Macbeth there are similarities between them that are easy to pick up. The main ones I noticed were, both Stalin and Macbeth killed anyone who was a threat to their power. Another thing is that both had citizens scared of their ruling and were going to go against them.

It is a common theme for fictional characters to resemble and share many similarities with real historical figures. Macbeth and Stalin are a prime example of this theme. Both are very strong leaders that have a natural ambition and the ability to rule with an iron fist. One way they are similar is that they both have two different aspects to their personalities. They have a strong masculine side that is meant for leading but also a side where all their issues with trust lie which is a major weakness to them. For example, Macbeth has ambition just as any brave and fierce warrior would, especially since he channeled that ambition so he could get the throne. For Stalin, he also channeled his strong side and his slyness when he was slowly gaining control of the Russian Communists as the General Secretary. But on the other hand, Macbeth and Stalin were never trusting. Macbeth doesn’t trust Banquo to stay quiet and Stalin had years of betrayal and trauma that fueled his mistrust in humans. Due to their desire for higher position, they got what they wanted. Another thing they two share is that both were noticed as promising people by others. Lenin noticed that Stalin showed potential for a

Throughout the story of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Macbeth acts in a much despised manner: he becomes a murderer and later, when king of Scotland, a tyrant. Many who have read or seen the play are left wondering how a man’s whole approach to life can change; how Macbeth turned from the hero whom all adored, to the tyrant who was hated and ended up a lone man, fighting for his life.

Tragic heroes always have same abilities, such as Richard Nixon and Macbeth. In fact, the public media describe Nixon as modern Macbeth. Both of them have glorious background, with people’s best hope. However, because of their extreme ambition and immoral behavior, they bring themselves downfall with criticizing and hostility. On the other hand, there still have difference between these two famous people, Macbeth’s overconfident and superstition bring him to failure, but, Nixon lost his political career because of his immorality and selfish. Based on these characteristics, Nixon can be compared and contrasted to Macbeth.

Muammar Gaddafi was born in 1942 to a nomadic family near Sitre, Libya. Gaddafi was inspired by the socialism and anti-colonialism of Gamal Abdel Nasser while growing up (Finn). He attended a military college and spent several months in Britain receiving further training before he was commissioned (Finn). While attending school he made friends with his eventual co-conspirators (Finn). On September 1, 1969, Gaddafi and his co-conspirators took control of Libya in a bloodless coup (Finn). “An eager disciple of President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt,Gaddafi first set about tackling the unfair economic legacy of foreign domination.For Nasser, it was the Suez Canal. For Gaddafi, it was oil.”(Asser). Large

Brutus from Julius Caesar and Macbeth, the protagonist from the play Macbeth by Shakespeare, are both Tragic Heros that died tragic deaths, having fallen from great heights, and having made irreversible mistakes, which made them that have significant outcomes to both of their lives, with both leading into consequences. This is shown for both of the Tragic Heroes throughout their story.

At the beginning of the play King Duncan hears of Macbeth, the bloody hero. The battle was horrific, but Macbeth was fearless, fighting his way through the enemy and literally cutting the rebel leader in half. King Duncan is suitably impressed by Macbeth's braveness.

Macbeth develops into a pernicious king as the play advances, as he commits horrendous actions that result in his own wrecking. Nevertheless, he has differentiated himself during the battle against the treacherous Thane of Cawdor, and the King of Norway. He is the brave soldier who leads King 's Duncan force to victory through his strength and skill level. King Duncan addresses Macbeth as his "…valiant cousins (and) / (A) worthy gentleman" (I.ii.25). This shows, how the King recognizes Macbeth 's skill on the battlefield, and therefore rewards Macbeth with a higher title, the Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth displays these characteristics once again in Act IV, as he ignores the witches ' prophecies, don 's his armour and fights against a heavily armed army, which is a greater size than his own Scottish infantry. This performance displays that Macbeth still holds the attributes of bravery as he did initially. For the first time, he makes a decision by setting aside the prophecies. In the play, the townsfolk see their malicious
