Then He is Dead

     After reading Macbeth I've reached the conclusion that his acts were not worth it even in the long run of being king. In my opinion the riches made him poor. Although he achieved the goal of being king and having everything he desired he was in a constant psychological labyrinth. Once he had started committing evil deeds for his own interest, there was no way out. To him it was easier to dig deeper into the black hole instead of going back. Due to this, he had to be watching his back in fear and torment that the same thing could happen to him as his actions of being killed. He also lost his wife due to the stress and guilt as it overpowered her leading her to commit suicide. Macbeth reached the ultimate consequence of death for his actions. I don't think that any of onself's actions is worth dying over. It also caused Macbeth a great deal of mental destruction. This was demonstrated when he saw the ghost of Banqo at the dinner party after he had killed him. The greatest weight was on his conscious of killing several other people just to keep his position. There was no need to go through this struggle since Macbeth was already promoted and known. The witches predictions pressured him into believing he was going to become a prophecy but it was not worth going through the lies, secrets, crimes, and utter discomfort.
