Macbeth Essay, Research Paper

Besides being a powerful work written by Shakespeare, Macbeth was also a

gruesome tragedy about the deaths of many people including Macbeth?s wife. For

a person that lived through such tough circumstances, the fact that Macbeth

chose to describe life as ?a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

signifying nothing? is no surprise. Macbeth was a corrupt man given different

perspectives on life than most normal people. Life is not ?a tale told by an

idiot,? but a truly splendid gift given from God which many people have taken

the full benefits of. Love, one of the most sacred traits of life, is not a

?silly? matter that can easily be forgotten. Emotions tend to play a major

role in what makes life beautiful and exciting. Lovers that can?t live long

separated, mothers who love their children, and close friends all find comfort

and security in their lives with the support they receive from others love. Good

experiences are what people live for taking into consideration most people wish

life was longer than it already is. When Macbeth made his speech on life, not

only had his wife just been murdered, but he never had the chance to experience

a secure lifestyle for the fear that he could be murdered himself. Like a clear

night on the beach, life is what makes the movie watcher cry and the dancer soar

gracefully. People often have the tendency to take life for granted. They forget

what it was like during the happy times in their lives and only focus on their

bad experiences. Like Macbeth who chose to put down life after his wife?s

murder, he forgot all about the happy times he had ever spent with her and

practically accused life for her death. What he forgot to remember is that life

brought them together in the first place. Taking into consideration the

achievements that mankind has made since the beginning of history, life is more

like sweet music in ones ear than ?a tale told by an idiot?. When people

choose to only focus on sorrow, they are cheating themselves of the opportunity

life offers to move on, change and learn from past experiences. When a musician

is able to create lovely music and an artist is able to make a viewer experience

a feeling of awe, life is truly at its pinnacle.
