After reading Shakespeare’s Macbeth I have learnt quite a lot of things. It has taught me how greed is bad. As Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were greedy they lost their lives. Due to her greed, Lady Macbeth had nightmares and she started sleepwalking. This is how Shakespeare tells us how greed will change our live. If Macbeth wasn’t greedy for the throne, he wouldn’t have lost his life. We can be greedy for several things but Macbeth has taught me that it can change anyone’s live.
Macbeth has also taught me that treachery destroys your live. Shakespeare had shown us how Macbeth was affected when he betrayed Duncan and Banquo. Banquo’s ghost appeared in Macbeth’s feast as Macbeth was guilty of killing his best friend Banquo. This tells us on how treachery will ruin our live. Macbeth has also taught me how ambition can change a man. Ambition changes Macbeth from a loyal person to a traitor. If Macbeth was satisfied with what he had and wasn’t ambitious for the throne, he wouldn’t have turned into a traitor. He wouldn’t have betrayed his best friend and King Duncan. Ambition is a very important thing in our live but when you have too much of ambition you tend to do things that are not right. Three witches manipulating Macbeth

Indeed, the witches set Macbeth up to think of each title as his by
